I’ll be there next year. I’ll drive down from Toronto.

I received my tracking number so hopefully they'll show no later than next Monday. Once again, I have faith these will be much nicer than shown.

The deck comes with a white band/cover. The black part of the tuck has 52s written on it. The inside tuck looks nice, gold and silver lines with 52 also inside. The backs of the deck is the best part of the deck, also with 52s over it. The cards themselves are custom and look ok, no complaints.

So the Back shown in the very first post here (below) is not the back?

That is the back! I was curious myself so I just opened mine. I'm actually surprised by the deck and was more critical of it prior to it being in front of my eyes. The foiling and handling are great. The JoD looks much more childish than the rest of the Jacks, but overall, I am satisfied with this deck.

I also could've done without a sticker seal.

Sorry, my bad - with these great pics, I can clearly see the 52s now

Okay, I'm now on the hunt for theses. Please let me know if anyone finds these for sale somewhere for non-members.

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 9:40 am**

These are great. I think I’m going to have to order a set.

I wonder how they did the individual numbering on the AoS and if that is something we'll see in other decks.

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2023 9:44 pm**

Digital print on offset printed sheets. There're print presses capable of doing it inline but the easiest method would be print the sheets and then let them run through an inkjet afterwards.

You can try to reach the artist here: http://www.brendanhong.com/ as they usually get some decks

Otherwise I can score you guys a deck each (there is a limit of 3 per member, keeping one on the shelf for myself) - no rush there are 700 left

That 10 deck carat case is a very nice touch to wherever has them all. I have 6 of the 10.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 5:57 am**

I'm missing 16, 17 and 23. It's a nice idea for the display, but none of the decks I'm missing really interest me and my OCD would have a hard time having empy cavities so I'll pass.

Also interesting in that there are 2 variants for both Jackson's and Lorenzo's decks. I have the gold (more common) of Jackson's and both of Lorenzo's.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 6:30 am**

Must be sold out already. It isn’t showing up for me.

EDIT- nevermind, found it. Still 28 in stock.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 2:52 pm**

FYI that Carat Case is designed to hold the oversized limited edition of JR's 2014 deck, not the more common other version

Lee Asher confirmed this

Damn, I would have bought one too -- I have all the decks otherwise

Same.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 4:22 pm**

Yeah, I personally am skipping this one primarily due to space but I love the look of it. The proceeds also go to the club which is an added benefit if anyone is considering purchasing.

Since I have '05, '06, and the gold '14, I am further justifying not getting the case since those decks would feel neglected. #NoDeckLeftBehind

Wow, so many great artists throughout the years.

If I make an insert that allows you to put in the standard version of the club deck, would that work for you? If I did, you would need pay for shipping of the insert (which wouldn't be much if you live in the US), but I will look into making a few for those that want to do this.

If that's possible that would be very cool!

I will inquire today

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 10:29 pm**

If anyone somehow ended up with an extra of these..... I messaged him a couple days ago and there are none left

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 10:46 pm**

I had messaged him even when they were still available and didn't get a response until they were long gone

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:27 pm**

That's exactly why I love Brendan. I contacted him quite a while ago because I was looking for his old decks. He couldn't help to get me a deck of his since they're long gone but he internationally shipped me a doodle card for free even after I offered money or to at least cover the shipping. Class act.
Seeing all ten 52+J decks together, I'm still convinced that his and uusi's deck are top decks.

Unfortunately, the size difference is too small to make an insert, sorry.

Update: I am trying something else different...give me a week or so
