"Cards Feature a Tie Dye Designed Back that can be used in any standard 52 card game and even includes 2 Gaff cards to do a magic card trick called Million Dollar Monte. The jokers are a Love & a Peace colored pin. There is also a a peace sign on each of the pips of every card, the court cards clothing show they have interesting style, and look real close at the suicide King of Hearts which normally has him holding a knife thru his head, but this deck has something different instead of the knife."

I'm new here and curious, so I'll bite the bullet and ask - what's up with Merz that makes some of you not want to buy his decks?
Actually I'm curious too. I'm not new here, but I think this one has flown right over my head.
He doesn't respond to any questions, He adds no protection to your order. Decks are sent out in an envelope that isn't even a bubble envelope, just a flat plain envelope. So it is like playing roulette as to whether or not your deck will arrive damaged or not. If it does, he will not do anything about it. That is why he has 11 negatives in 1300 feedbacks.
He is selling his custom decks for ridiculous money and after he soaks up all the excess money from people who don't know any better, he drops the price dramatically. Take a look at the Santa backs he just had made. He is selling them in set for $40. New people don't even realize they are not the original Santa backs. He was selling the trace decks for about the same price and now dropped them down to $9.95. What happened to all those people who paid the $20 per deck? They got ripped off. Most people here have had nothing but trouble in dealing with him.

Thanks!
And doesn't he also hold the monopoly on his decks? Never letting them go to a re-seller...?

Interesting! Never knew that. I think I've ever only bought from him once on eBay (but it was so long ago that I couldn't remember if it was badly packaged). I got my deck through another seller and it came shipped as I would expect -- wrapped several times in bubble wrap, no damage. Sure, it's a premium to pay for a deck, but that's what collecting is sometimes about I guess. You win some, you lose some.
