I am yet to receive my blue decks but looking at the pics of the blue tuck, I have to say that i prefer the understated elegance of the red tuck better. Not that the blue tuck is unimpressive but it is a bit too ornate for my taste.

I've been searching for the last hour for the "red" silk. I've just realized that its the black one that I have sitting at home. Reminds me of when I first discovered that Red tea = Black tea.
Anyway I like the red tuck case better, but I have to go with the blue one for the back design. Gotta go with them peacocks (or whatever bird that is).

Agreed, I have no idea why the red deck has that name :D

The Red Silk tuck may be black, but the card have red ink instead of blue. However, keep in mind that the back is completely different, so this is not just a color swap anyway.

Before you do - send the parcel slip to me, so that it won't stay at the post office :drool: :D .
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Yep... And I just can't imagine the reaction of Belgian intelligence services when they get a call for assistance from the NSA about that 8-)

Received the "blue" Silk deck today. THANK YOU!!! Quite stunning!

However, I wasn't expecting such a difference in the two. What's the reason behind this, Lotrek?

I believe because he said he would not do a recolor due to some upset folks on the damask deck but that he would do a different deck with the same name.

Got it! Thank you. Makes sense I guess. Either way I'm very pleased with his work. And more that I think about it I'm quite glad it looks different.

If I remember there were quite a few people that were upset when he unveiled the blue damask.

Got my blue deck yesterday. I panicked a little when I first opened the deck and thought I was missing a joker, but the second joker was in the middle of the deck so all good.

The deck is stunning. I love the blue courts. And I love the blue backs (hey, I like blue!), but I slightly prefer the red back design to the blue one. Really happy to have both in my collection, though. Wonderful job, Lotrek.

Always nice to meet the postal worker at the door and see a package with Greek stamps on it. My Blue Silk arrived safely today. Magnificent.

Will I get a shipping notification from Lotrek or will it just show up one day? How long does it usually take to get from Greece to the US? Thanks :D

I am sure it is already on its way but if you want the tracking details, just shoot Lotrek an email, he is usually very prompt in responding.
