Re: Silver Artisans by Theory11

I saw an email from Theory 11 announcing the NEW blue edition of the Avengers deck. That can't be right! I found the blue edition earlier this year at Walmart.

Looking for advice on clear plastic deck protectors

I recently bought a pack of 50 deck protectors online, and I was disappointed because they had this opaque film I had to peel off first. Very annoying and time consuming. The deck protectors were also just a shy too snug for my liking. Many decks fit, but a few do not. So I'm looking for advice on a...

Re: Blind Tiger NPCCD 2022

I just can't believe there is not one person in the card industry or card collecting community who hasn't heard from him, or his whereabouts, so we can all at least get some closure. Most of us wish now that we could have gotten the refund last year, but I got suckered into the "ride it out&quo...

Re: King’s Head Playing Cards by Joker and the Thief

Will the basic decks be available after the Kickstarter campaign? I just want one basic deck. Love the tuck box and back, not really thrilled about the monotone courts.

Re: Norwood #85, c.1909

Any chance this deck will ever get a reprint? So many people want one...and I think even owning a repro will be OK. It's fine with me!

Upcoming decks you are looking forward to the most

I apologize if there is a thread already started for this, but how about discussion on upcoming decks you are most looking for - coming soon or a ways off. Below are mine. I'm unsure on a few of these deck designers-producers, or if any of these decks are cancelled. The Parlour Royale (Gentleman Wak...

For those of you thinking about getting the hard cover, you might as well since it'll be a deck to compliment it. I'm also glad it'll be the A design chosen to be the backs of the deck from the 2 designs chosen. I rather tolerate having a one-way back than one-way courts. Too late....he sold the 80...
