On sale for $10.50 at AoP: https://www.artofplay.com/collections/p ... mokey-bearOfficial Smokey Bear playing cards. Produced in collaboration with the USDA Forest Service, the cards feature Smokey and twelve of his closest woodland friends along with fire-prevention tips illustrated throughout the deck by Sam Larson.
Even US shipping is $12. I think they're only sending tracked/insured/whatever.
lol the Americans don't know how good they've got it. $7 is unheard of internationally. I'm in Canada and I pay almost as bad as EU. I paid $22 for 3 decks on my last order. Add to that the 0.64 EUR = 1 CAD and I'd wager the Great White North has the worst of it.masagin303 wrote: βSun Nov 29, 2020 10:57 am Meanwhile in EU: paying $26 for shipping two decks from KWP.
Yes I do. I've said it on many occasions- if I lived abroad I would not collect playing cards. I commend you international collectors because I could never do it!PiazzaDelivery wrote: βSun Nov 29, 2020 2:12 pm

But that also doesn't mean I should pay D$D's high shipping rates out of sympathy when all other US based companies charge much less.
You of course could and would collect cards. You'd just have to be more picky.shermjack wrote: βSun Nov 29, 2020 8:12 pm+1 Took the words right out of my mouth.vasta41 wrote: βSun Nov 29, 2020 3:22 pmYes I do.

To me, it seems like the high shipping fees from D&D are how they recoup their losses from the discounts that they provide during their sales
This. I don't know if it's in my nature, or the high shipping costs, or any number of reasons I can conjure, but I've become real picky over the years. I've been collecting for a little over 2 years now and I loathe some of the older decks in my possession lol.masagin303 wrote: βMon Nov 30, 2020 2:52 amYou of course could and would collect cards.

I've just recently created several boxes of cards I don't want anymore. I will try to sell them eventually but I'm so lazy to process that. Now I buy with much more caution and only cards that really speak to my taste. But it makes sense, it takes time to develop a taste. So you got that box in the closet as well, haha.masagin303 wrote: βMon Nov 30, 2020 5:12 pm I will try to sell them eventually but I'm so lazy to process that.

Ya, its the scanner. The cards dont have those lines. I have ordered another one so the next batch shouldnt have them. plus side: good watermark!Harvonsgard wrote: βWed Feb 17, 2021 5:18 pm Some of the scaned cards have a weird line on them. That's just the scans though, innit?
The word "scanner" looks a little too similar to the word "scammer" , which changes the meaning just a littlemacstrat wrote: βThu Feb 18, 2021 12:31 pmYa, its the scanner.

I think it depends on the deck, ill check me sheet when I get home to see where I got them at. I know PCD has some AoP decks and Dan and Dave also run Black Market Decks. So some of their limited stuff is on there as wellEndersGame wrote: βMon Apr 05, 2021 6:22 am Art of Play does end up selling most of their decks via other online retailers of playing cards, don't they? Or was this available exclusively from AoP's website and nowhere else?
