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.

Yeah, this is karma hits him very hard :D
That's the problem of not keeping some stocks for himself!

It's a general rule for every designers and creators that at least they kept a brick of their creation, so at one them they want to admire them or using it for something, they have it.

And this is also the problem of not printing more, I think. LITERALLY everyone keeps telling him of it, but does that advice get taken? Yes and no. It is highly yes due to proven evidences that screenshot of filling in stocks for the webstore is not matching of the numbers he stated.

That last screenshot though, is proven he had quite the high ego. It goes by:
"Hey, I am the creator of my "very awesome, game changer, and super cool" cardistry deck. Everybody is offering me 500$, so you have to do the same to me!"

As the brand gets exclusive (through the addition of Club system - even with Club system, I heard people are still fighting as crazy just like the times without this club). Every stuffs the monkey did is like keep on shooting himself on the legs

Sadly the thing is that this will likely push the price of the red and perhaps other earlier fontaines up further. Aside from the fact he's snapped up some of the very few decks available on ebay; he's made a big song and dance about getting them now which only highlights to his followers how rare and sought after his decks can be, whether that was his intention or not.

Nailed it.

Hype brands are a special case but do provide learning opportunities through observation.
