This is likely preferable to Blaine's courts. Those faces creep me out.

This tuck looks so odd.... I'll probably end up getting it anyway.

If I had to guess, maybe a black Fri release like he's done in the past

Was wondering if he was going to release the full version of Artist proof Pearl & Onyx Holo Split spades on Black Friday. Looks like he may have switched to the Gatorbacks instead.

On socalplayingcards, decks went on sale. I had this deck in the cart and in about 10 seconds, sold out. I wonder how many there were.

Maybe he removed them? I don't see the deck here https://socalplayingcards.com/collectio ... cards-page and it would show up if sold out

Edit: I was wrong. Seems like he did have some https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cj85SAXs3Y ... MyMTA2M2Y=

Henry addressed the problem on IG saying that bots from Portland Oregon messed everything up.

Yep, the edit in my comment is a link to his video

He said that the decks were in the single digits. The robot accounts were 30+ so by him repeatedly deleting accounts as they reapplied, maybe some people managed to get through.

What a mess. Damn weat-coasters with nothing better to do...

I assumed they got a brick at card con, kept one or two for themselves and sold the rest. If this is Blaine's BF release, I just hope the price is the same or lower and I'll be a happy camper. :)

Whenever it comes out, I'll be on it. Somebody listed theirs for $199.99 on Ebay, people may be too thirsty.

I'm hoping these USPC releases will be available from many retailers and not just BicycleCards.com.

A word of warning, I placed an order on the new BicycleCards.com site at the beginning of the month. It looks like Cartamundi rolled the site into some of their systems and it looks like there's some bugs to work out still.

I got 12 decks mailed loose (no brick box) in an oversized bubble mailer. Every one had tuck damage. Customer service has gone radio silent for 12 days...

Love me some mass-market Split Spades action, Ill pick one up from... somewhere.

Wow that is an ugly front of the tuck. Cards look good, but disappointed Blaine is sticking with USPCC still

After his decks with other producers like the Stoics, I guess the majority of folks will be happy that he choose USPCC for these.

They confirmed on instagram it's usa only from them, but Socal commented they'll have some for international shipping. So seems like these cards will all be in multiple shops

I thought these would come out Black Friday. Maybe they're doing something else?

So I noticed on the david blaine site it says IN SPADES coming soon. https://shop.davidblaine.com/

First I thought it's his new vegas show, but that's not it. It doesn't sound like a deck name, but could be. I emailed them to see if it's something that's actually coming soon or if it's something from before they started using redblackinc, haven't heard back yet. But it's possible it's their black friday release maybe possibly?

I’ll wait to see if they are still around (and at a discount) on Black Friday - don’t see myself paying retail for any of them…

From the description on https://bicyclecards.com/shop/bicycle-b ... ying-cards:
It is an ultra-premium deck featuring Metalluxe foil on the card back and faces.
The faces are metalluxe?
