Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I was greeted with this truly amazing piece in the mail today:
Numbered 501/500; this has become the favorite deck in my collection.- CBJ

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
Encarded had a contest where he gave away 3 rare decks (this one included). He said this is literally the LAST numbered one and there aren't any 502, 503, etc.CBJ wrote:hmmmmm.... 501 of 500 .. WTF

So, there are 501 numbered decks, and who-knows-how-many non-numbered decks?

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I just found out a deck I own is supposedly very rare, with only 250 or 275 made. It's called the Cheetah deck:
I bought it here a little over a year ago for $10: http://www.cheetahplayingcards.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Now this site is selling it for $75! : http://www.gamblingincorporated.com/pro ... ctid=16288" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The back is very striking, the faces are standard Gemaco as far as I can tell.

A deck like that will never prosper.

Did yours come in a very nondescript white tuck box with a large cellophane window on one side? No seal, or cello on the tuck?samurai007 wrote:I just found out a deck I own is supposedly very rare, with only 250 or 275 made. It's called the Cheetah deck:

Yep, it sure did. Does that mean it's an unlimited edition that's worth far less?Sharpie wrote:Did yours come in a very nondescript white tuck box with a large cellophane window on one side?

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
Some stuff I got in while the site was down;
Thanks to Sharpie for the Luxury deck:
Got my stuff from UtterFool, filled some holes in my collection and got some cool mystery decks too.
Probably the most cool shipment, got my 3 bricks of damaged decks from Mike. What is super cool is that I was able to open damaged decks as my "openers" and then keep a sealed pristine deck for collecting. Also forced me to go through my entire collection and figure our which decks I have excess of and can get rid of. I'll be having a rather large sale soon as it look like I have about 200 to sell.

Glad you enjoy your order from us!!!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I just got this in from a friend. Fun fact, the size is 9 cards wide by 6 tall, making it almost a perfect square.
(USPCC's sheets are 7 wide and 8 tall)
Sorry I cant show the edges or the whole thing for obvious reasons.

Nice catch Orthopedic
By the way, I really like that Leopard deck. I want to hunt one of them down, what with me being a big fan of all members of the feline family. Nice catch on that one.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
Yes they are Evan...We had another thread a while back to check those facts. Looks like USPCC did a special order in orange for someone in Japan. I think even Mike confirmed it
EDIT this is the first thread on orange http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic ... +ho+orange
I had only seen the circle backs for the longest time until just a few weeks ago where the same seller posted the Fan backs
