Distinct Life has released their 3rd promotional deck.








Here are their other 2 decks...

are they available for purchase?

[Mike Ratledge]

Interesting: I can't see the graphics right now, but I found this on a "New Balance" website (back & some faces). Pretty non-descript...

[vjose32]

I'm guessing it will be hard to find them for sale anywhere like their previous decks.

[jerichoholic]

So anyone find these yet? Don't see why they are so hard to find.

I guess you just need to know the right people...

Want to trade or sell one? You seem to have plenty anyway. It's not cool for a collector to hold so many while others can't get their hands on them, just like the whole Nuggets thing.

Sentences like the one above is why I won't trade/sell to you anymore Victor.

You ask me to do you a favor by trading with you... then basically tell me I'm not being fair by taking my money and buying multiples of a deck that I think will go up in value because of the way it's distributed. I take the risk, and sometimes it pays off.. and sometimes it doesn't (Bicycle SSUR).

I've built up contacts/relationships/friends in the industry over the last 5-6 years, and this has helped me track down to these hard to find decks.
Maybe the whole getting banned/being negative thing that you do is the wrong way to go. I think it's time to rethink your strategy.

It's cool for a collector to do whatever he/she darn well pleases. If someone wants to hold onto decks for whatever reason, that's their business. It's ok not to have every deck ever made. You will live to cry another day. I had to.

Have to agree with Jay. You don't like it when I call you out for whining? Simple solution, QUIT WHINING!

Vic, you're encouragable. One of these days you'll learn being nice and asking instead of telling someone what they should/shouldn't do and then complaining when someone does do something nice.

Maybe I do have some growi g up to do but you telling me that is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Maybe it is the wrong way of going about things, but I do recall a recent Ellusionist post that wasn't exactly positive. Anyway I don't see how not selling/trading with me helps things. We should be a community looking out for each other and helping each other out.

[CBJ]

Jay you must have misunderstood, I didn't say it wasn't fair for you to buy whatever you wanted. I just said it wasn't fair for you to sit on so many when others might want them. From what I can tell these decks aren't highly sought after anyway, same with the last two.

I don't see why you won't sell/trade with me, because i'm negative and you don't think I deserve to get them?

And Brent, if you've got nothing to add then move along. You are the one who is constantly whining about my supposed whining. Grow up.

Victor,

Because out of all the people/collectors I've met in the playing card community.. there are only 4 I want nothing to do with. And you're one of them.
Alex (previous owner of Aether), Mike Ferrante (previous owner of UC), and Robert Butler are the other 3.

It's time for you to grab a mirror and take a look at yourself. There has to be a reason you keep getting banned/complained about.


"Maybe it is the wrong way of going about things, but I do recall a recent Ellusionist post that wasn't exactly positive. Anyway I don't see how not selling/trading with me helps things. We should be a community looking out for each other and helping each other out."

Yes, I made a negative post about Ellusionist. They said they only had 2 dozen gold arcane uncuts left a year or so ago... now they give one to every new member.
But you have negative undertones in almost every one of your posts. In my eyes, you are not part of my community.



Anyway, I will no longer sell/trade with you. Ever.
And, if I want to sit on all my decks until the day I die.. that's my choice.


This conversation has gone way off topic. If you'd like to continue this conversation, message someone else.. because I don't want to hear it.

Ok let's move on and leave the thread for New Balance deck. Victor please use PMs when expressing your daily concerns to people so that we can avoid these discussions in the open

Thanks

You should thank him personally not on a public forum

You're giving me etiquette lessons???? Telling me what I should do and not do with a sale you had nothing to do with?

Have no fear, I know what I'm doing. And, you can also see that I commented on Herman's Doobybrain post yesterday.
I made the post here hoping to send traffic to his site. He's a great guy, that posts great content. I visit his site daily.


but alas...
Another negative-toned comment from Victor. Just do me a favor, stay out of my business please.

That was just a cheap shot Victor. Come on, man.

[CBJ]

That was just a cheap shot Victor. Come on, man.

He's only doing it because he's pissy I won't sell to him, but I'll sell to people I respect.
What he doesn't understand is that doing stuff like this is why he gets very little respect from me, and many many others.

Anyway, feel free to lock up this thread. I have zero interest on a back and forth with him here or in private messages.

Jay

[jerichoholic]

nothing still

[Cbkimble]

Removed.

[Eoghann]

Everyone has some value in this forum.

- Victor, that was clearly a potshot intended to ruffle Jay's feathers. Don't try to spin it differently.
- Kimble, you're just stoking the flames with that type of comment, bro. It doesn't help make anything better.


Everyone has said their piece and I'll draw the line here. I won't lock the thread, but any post following this one that isn't of any relevance to the actual deck will be removed. I'm sure many of us can agree to just let it go.

[Mike Ratledge]

I concur, and just removed. Victor's return of fire.

Both of you - this thread if for discussing a specific deck of cards, and we're collectively fed up with the personal sniping. I suggest you both read the updated terms of service. We aren't going to have personal debates in public here.

Sorry to be so blunt, but enough is enough.

So, does anyone have this/these deck/decks(s) available for sale? I saw the new balance on eBay last week and didn't think much of it >_<

[CBJ]

these are going for a pretty penny
