Do you record the numbers sent for each order and the numbers you see on eBay/other markets?

No, I don't really watch Ebay. I know what you mean but it's crazy work to do.

I think whatever people do with their Lotrek decks is their own choice. If you handle and enjoy it good for you; if you put it in the vault (or crypt) amazing... If you sell it for $100 profit more power to you... Freedom of choice baby.. it's a beautiful thing

Since none of us open our decks, Lotrek can use ink that disappears when hit by light. That should limit the resale market.

Or just have a wooden block inside or blank cards

#freethepip is a way of life, my friend. I open all the things, so I can't wait to open my Crypt deck (and not share pictures)!

The trick to get tuckists to open their decks is to not use cello. If an artist/publisher makes a fancy tuck and then protects that tuck with something that HIDES the tuck, forcing everyone to remove it to see the tuck, then the pips will be freed. Put the seals on the bottom like Lorenzo did with Parlour.

I think one of those sleeves like AOP puts their mystery decks in - but instead of a festive print, it is just stark white with a picture of a disappointed looking Lotrek printed on the front. You'll feel bad and be forced to open it.

I love it.

I legit got scared when I read the idea of having blank cards on the inside. I collect decks yes, but I also open them... most of them at least. I would fly into such a rage if the decks were just blank cards.

Ugly tuck? Sure.
Messed up Cellophane? Don't care.
Blank cards? There will be hell to pay.
No Cards? Israfil, Blow the trumpet.

Good thing Lotrek doesn't disappoint right?
... Right?
*Sweating*
My god, We really don't know do we?

Is it ok to call a seal on the bottom a seal? What is it actually sealing?

It's just an additional tuck ornament.

Ok, there's Room17 where the side seal was actually hiding something

Harvonsgard · Unread post by **Harvonsgard** » Wed Mar 18, 2020 3:15 am

In the most orthodox definition - no. It's not a seal if it doesn't seal anything. But seal is also synonymus for sign of authenticity or like seal of approval. So I would say it is okay to still call it a seal. For me a seal that doesn't seals a deck becomes a sticker

It can seal the bottom flap of a tuck, no?

Harvonsgard · Unread post by **Harvonsgard** » Wed Mar 18, 2020 4:30 am

It sure can, but most don't do that. E.g. Luminosity and Parlour Black limited. I guess that was the point from shkorc. Standard USPC boxes (and boxes that use the same layout like KWP tuck boxes) don't have a bottom flap anyways. But as mentioned, language isn't a precise science; words change and evolve and aren't rigid in their meaning.

Looking under the car seats, but not finding any $100 bills...

It's okay, you're the crazy wild squirrel deck hunter, I'm sure you'll find some bills especially since you're so good at hunting decks.

This hobby is definitely a sickness. I bought six and was tempted to get another six when Lotrek opened the sale of them back up for a few hours but I got busy at work and forgot to do so. And I now have some regret. Why, would I possibly want 12??

I just found some dough, but the crypt is closed. Dang it. Ah well, I still got three. Maybe I'll still have some cash and can snag an extra when they are finished. That crypt sealed tight this time.

I placed my order for a pair. I hope that the global mail system hasn't shut down by then, because I will be sorely disappointed if it has.

DON'T MAKE ME FLY TO GREECE TO PICK UP THESE DECKS!

Don't worry, it doesn't matter. As long as you take your craft serious, time is irrelevant anyways.

Hey Lotrek, now that the sale is over are you able to give us some final numbers?
Give or take (if you know what I mean)

Cheers,

10th of April will be the last minute sale for $130/deck. So it ain't over yet

I'm going to throw out a random guess: 850.

What do you guys guess?
