The Russell "Blue Ribbon" (323) sealed is nice! You almost never see those sealed. The one on the left, not too sure. The 10¢ tax stamp puts it in the 1924-1940 range for date sold, but it t could easily be even earlier. Any details you can see without opening it?

You can make out Blue Ribbon in script, and (This card may used used as an) "Extra Joker" in red below the stamp, but that about it.

I have to say that i´m dissapointed with the scarlett Tally Ho deck. The borders are thick and the pips are barely visible in a fan.
However the Delirium deck is fun to the max! What a awesome deck of cards.Fully customized with a refreshing color tone and the cards handle great in compare to the first decks from Taiwan.
Thank you Cosmicsecret, I'm very happy you like Delirium :)
Great pic!

I picked it up off of eBay for $10. Wasn't much of a description and only one pic of the front, so I was pretty happy it ended up being sealed. Probably just going to keep it with the others for right now.
Great pickup. I search ebay daily for that deck. If you ever want to let it go, you've got a buyer. :)

I didn't want to start a new thread for a deck from 2009... but here's a pic I came across today.

Since I've never opened mine, I've always been curious.

Now I wonder if that's the back design, or an extra card in the deck.

Well... It's been a long LONG since my friend had made me 4 of these displays.. but I never got around to putting them up. Well, a month or so ago I wanted to see what one would look like loaded with decks. Here we go... 350 decks!
What do you guys think?

Received my Alien decks in, they are really very nice. The courts are very cool, different poses of the facehuggers (Queens), little just hatched alien (Jack) and various types of the grown Aliens (Kings). The aces are all given an HR GIced treatment and while not as detailed as his work is, they're very nice in their own right. Only issue is large borders for the back design. If there was ever a time for a full bleed back I think this would be it.
