David Blaine New Rose Gold Gatorbacks

[laitostarr777]

Oh damn, these Gatorbacks are totally beautiful
Now, I regret of not getting some of the previous colors ;3;

How in the world would I get the other colors?

[STLBluesNut]

Mostly ebay, for pretty high prices unfortunately.

Besides Ebay, you can also try the UC marketplace: viewforum.php?f=7" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You can also consider FB groups for playing cards and by country. Most will have magic, cardistry as well. I'm sure you'll be able to find a few FB groups for Indon.

Aren't they still available on DB's site? I thought I saw them still available two days ago? At least "add to cart" button was still usable but I'm no expert on DB's site.

I guess they talk about the older Gatorbacks. Gold, green, red.

There is the black and the gold, but the big “Sold Out” comes after it

Aaaaaah ;3;

@sinjin7 it says on his website that the Silver Gatorbacks feature Silver Foil & White Foil on White Soft Touch stock. What's a white foil? Could you take a closer shot if you could identify it?

Tried to get a good shot of the tuck for the "White foil," but like sinjin7 said, it's spot UV ink


The registration on the Silver Gatorbacks were within reason for the most part, but had one bad outlier:



The Rose Gold deck I opened was totally fine

[Decknowledgy]

Thanks for the white spot UV!

But damn you, USPCC, for that horrendous registration! Now this truly proves that it's not that rare anymore for this issue to happen.

[Harvonsgard]

USPCC is like: "There is no bad registration, only laypeople that don't recognize a gaff card!"

Oh noooo ;3;
I ordered Rose Gold and Silver Gatorbacks each, and now I've seen the Silver had a big issue.... oh nooooooo ;3; these are supposed to be my firsts Gatorbacks

I'll just post it here because I think we don't need a new thread for every new coloured gatorback.
Another version confirmed with the beautiful promise "very expensive, will be worth it" ... Seems like holofoil gatorbacks.

Congratulations, our wallets will soon die over a freak accident XD

"ah - they'll be with some signed decks, not separate"

Bummer

TFW, the decks are totally beautiful, but your budget holds you back ;3;

[STLBluesNut]

Damn, those look nice. It sounds like it will be above what I am willing to spend though [emoji53]

The backs better be reflective just like how the tuck is.

I wonder how much 'very expensive' is these days.

DB's been known to sell two-packs for $80-100 range, one of which being rarer. I would assume it'll be around that range if I had to guess.

[STLBluesNut]

If it is 80 to 100 one better be signed. Even then I'm not buying for that price. Black Monolith was about $29 with holofoil on front and back of cards.

I would buy for $25, think real hard for $30. They are really pretty though.

If the holo foil is only on the tucks, then I'm not interested at all. But if the cards themselves also have holo foil. . .

[Harvonsgard]

Wouldn't make sense to have the foil only on the tuck imo. I see the statement that they gonna be expensive (whatever that means for a db deck) as some kind of an indicator for the holofoil on the back. Of course we'll only know when they get unwrapped .

[Bikefanatic]

Tuck will be made from albino alligator skin that shines.

That Black Monolith deck is very nice though.

Got the decks today, and these are the cards with the worst registration in both decks (silver on left, rose gold on right):

Althought the Metalluxe looks great, the registration issue is really making me reconsider whether to back or purchase anymore USPCC-printed decks if the artwork is just a little above average.

Looks like it belongs in Kem Collectors Rogue Gallery viewtopic.php?f=81&t=15862

[shkorc]

Wow, nice 20USD decks O_o

[laitostarr777]

I just got the latest Gatorbacks today, and I have greater disappointment then joyfulness
1. I order the Silver and Rosegold each. My Silver Gatorbacks's cellophane is tampered, the top part of the seal is already opened
2. The order of the deck in my Silver Gatorbacks had been jumbled (we know it comes in Mnemonica Stack, but it appears that my cards had been shuffled before it got sent to me)
3. Obviously, after I see most had gotten their decks and see the registration I quickly opened it and check. Just as I feared, registration is poor

Such beautiful decks from David Blaine, only to be ruined during the printing.
PS: I've contact the store regarding of this matter, and I hope I get either a replacement or refund

Opened seal - see the bents

This one, I clean up the cellophane using scissors, try to clean off the ruined opening

The jumbled order

I compare this stack with the completely new Rosegold - It should be two illustrations card first - David Blaine dances with the gator, and a kid leashing the gator, followed by the main cards, then ends with another two illustrations - David's Split spade, and the child carrying baby alligator carried by the storm
And I can confirm, my Silver Gatorbacks had been handled once before it got sent to me

Great Disappointment

I couldn't resist making this meme XD
Because how dare USPCC had ruined such beautifully designed decks from a well-known Magician

[Harvonsgard]

Hmm... I still kinda want to have the Rosegolds but just like with the 1st V3s, too expensive for my taste to risk it.

I am so tempted to get 1st v3
But seeing how many recent USPCC decks ended up like this....... well.......

Does anybody here that has a Silver Gatorbacks that has been opened, and not shuffled? I want to compare my deck with yours

Because, I just got a reply from the customer service from David Blaine's store regarding of the deck I got, and this is what they said:
"This is the correct order of the cards. We do not organize the cards by color or suit."

I am not convinced by their words - sounds like they are trying to avoid their mistakes. Decks that have Mnemonica stacks, always start with Ace of Spades on the front when you opened those decks (only need to do a single cut to make it a definitive stack). I am still convinced someone had shuffled the cards before it get shipped
