Just had a nice surprise of a barrage of packages:




The tuck boxes for the Chameleon cards is very similar to the one used for the Classic Black deck. The cards themselves have an interesting, albeit plastic-y, feel to them.

nice

Finally got a chance to go down to the post office and pickup a package today. Cool decks, IMHO.

Just got this interesting Playboy casino deck. Never seen this one before. Apparently used on their baccarat tables and the design apparently came from their carpet. Too bad it's a cancelled deck, but hey not like you see this one very often.

What do the courts look like?

I like to post multiple decks instead of just one but I received a bunch and this month isn't over yet. I got Malam and the Hive 2 decks we can be getting by next week.

Some truly outstanding decks arrived today! Lorenzo's Stockholm Reserva N°17 (#3/74) and both silver and gold gilded decks of Uusi's Classic to go in that awesome hand made and finished cypress box (with Swedish flag logo). (#7/50 in Gold & #15/50 silver)

let's open up those gilded decks and check em out mike!

Mike, I think those Classics are /50, not /60.

I'll wait a few weeks before I de-clump them. Basically, they look like single slabs of metal right now. . It's best if I let them dry another couple of weeks first.

Yep, you are correct, Robert. I hadn't looked that closely. Those are "5", not "6".

All what's new for now.

Malam seems to have turned out nice! Glad to see these are finally showing up!

Picked up 2 of these bad boys, I think there pretty cool, sorry for the flash

Amazing birthday gift just came in today.

Thank you so much Lorenzo for the amazing art work and details.

Fueling my addiction one deck at a time.....

Everything is standard of course. But it's definitely unique as far as Playboy decks go.

Please forgive the cross post, but this is stunning enough news, it deserves to be repeated.

Look at what I received today from Ed Nash (no kidding). And I am convinced these are, indeed, genuine USPCC cards.

rousselle - I'm happly right now. I'm glad to see a scam turn into a deck of cards. These were so overdue...

Now, if someone could make this deck into a reality my life would be complete. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/do ... nav_search

If you watch the video, He made this and intended to take your money. What a shame. This was the first time I pledged on a Kickstarter. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I wish it wouldn't have been botched like Jackson says.

Wow, that's really happening, huh? Pretty incredible!

Allan was this from the new campaign or the original one ??

These are from the original campaign. I didn't pledge on the Noir Arts version.

My first thought, when I saw that the USPS needed me to sign for a package from "Ed Nash" was that maybe he bought up a bunch of the new Noir Arts decks and used those to fulfill the original Asylum project. But, no. These are definitely USPCC decks, not NPCC decks. They have the same style tuck, the same Air Cushion Finish, the same difficult-to-open cellophane, the same seals, the same feel and snap, the same print quality, and the same big borders that are the hallmark of USPCC. These are from the original project.

They even have a copyright date of 2012.

I find it fascinating that these arrived just a few days after the Washington State AG's office sent me a request for information about my pledge for the original project. I have told the AG all about my pledge, and also that these decks just arrived. I'm curious as to how this will affect the case at this point.

Now, if only Adam of the Green Army Men deck would send me the money I pledged for that deck....

I'll give it a couple weeks until I break it apart, but it's a beautiful deck just made better. I was really debating between getting red or blue and have to admit I'm not second guessing it any more. The blue and silver is just amazing. My first gilded deck from UUSI, looking forward to my gilded &a boxed Brüt deck now.

Vic, is that the one from the Atlantic City club?

Clockwise from top left: De'vo's new cardistry deck, the new Gold Blades from De'vo, Theory 11 Contraband from the local Barnes and Noble, British Monarchy Tally-Ho's- a Kickstarter that came in ahead of schedule.

I apologize in advance for the size of this post. It's been awhile since I posted new stuff.

Some Congress sets. The top I got on Etsy for $8. The bottom set is from my local thrift store. I paid $1 for them. They are complete and in good condition.





Two more sets from the Thrift Store. The top deck still has it's cello from the National Gallery of Art and the decks are still sealed. I paid $1.25 for them. The bottom deck is a bit worn but complete. Arrco decks pre USPCC.









Two more from the trusty thrift store. Both are complete and the Batman deck is sealed. The Coca-Cola deck has a trademark date of 1994,





This deck, also from the thrift store was quite a surprise. The bottom of the deck says "NOT FOR SALE. Printed in the United States for the Dept. of Defense." They look to be made for service members being deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan and each card has a message about preserving artifacts or looting and what to do about it. The deck is opened but still has it's cello, is complete and is in pristine condition. The stock and finish feel like USPCC but there are no markings from the maker. If anyone has info about this deck it would be greatly appreciated.

On to Wal-Mart. They finally got some new decks.





Also from Wal-Mart. I forget the names.





More Wal-Mart decks. These are called Marsala and Moscato.





I won a $50 Visa gift card at work so I used it to pick up these Tally-Ho decks (Along with some other stuff)





And last but by no means least some trades/gifts from Shermjack and Volantangel. Thank you again gentlemen. You are both proof of how great UC and it's members are.

I'll be on the lookout for the marsala and moscato. They look pretty good. Nice haul necro.

The Walmarts around my way probably won't have them if they didn't have the mint and forest green decks. I'll keep an ebay lookout plus I wanna see how courts look.

I am going to open some so if I find time I will take and post some pics of the cards.

You guys want to know a secret?

I usually look for the decks in the toys/board games section, but I've been able to find these decks, and a few others (cocktail party, etc.) in a different section of Wally World!

So I've been planning for my wedding and looking at the crafts section in Wal-Mart for decoration ideas/cheap decorations. I was able to find both the mint and forest green decks, as well as a handful of other "stylish" decks in the Party decorations/favors section! I suppose Wal-Mart considers these decks as "party favors/giveaways"


happy hunting fellas! I really need to post my collection in here....

A nice few packages came in yesterday besides the long awaited Asylum decks.

First the Malam decks with my t-shirt



Then the 2 lots of Gamesters cards with a box set of the limited and a total of 3 Private reserves sprinkled with a few stickers

Nice backs, but I stopped buying Congress decks once I realized that they all have standard courts.

Nice find! I'd heard about this deck, but have yet to run across one.

I just hope that ISIS isn't handing it out to THEIR troops as a "Things to smash" list.

I've gotten a red, a green and a blue-backed one of these, all from eBay. I also got a similarly packaged Coke/Polar bear mini and a Scooby Doo mini, each with the keychain-like thing. Not sure how I'm going to store them, though.

ETA: It isn't a keychain, by the way. It is evidently made to be used to clip the deck to the rings on a backpack. Lots of small toys and other doohickeys are sold with the clips, and kids evidently use them to "personalize" their backpacks.
