Cartamundi & USPCC 2020 Merger Celebration Decks

[Ice_Panda]

those look amazing! I did see there was a set of these for auction with the 52 + jokers auction. that united deck is the better of the two IMHO

Where can I buy Bicycle 2020 celebration deck

[Harvonsgard]

Nowhere, except for the aftermarket. They were and never will be officially for sale.

[DiminishedSeventh]

Henry at SoCal just had one for auction that sold for $3000... so... yeah.

That is absolutely nuts!

Honestly, I thought I misread the decimal place at first. Nope. Lol

[vasta41]

I saw a set sell in November for $1,500.

I love going thru this thread in particular, it like a perfect time capsule of the past year.

One set was lately auctioned at SoCal playing cards for almost $3,000. I still have some trouble believing it went through since an even rarer set with a woodbox made out of old USPCC factory floor panels (only 125 made) sold for $1,500 at last years 52+J auction.

hmmmm. . . . .

. . . . . are you sure?

[Harvonsgard]

Nothing is certain but death.
I'm happy to be convinced otherwise but from what I've heard there won't be much sets left to be sold plus the current mindset of the scene makes this the most plausible.
Again, fingers crossed I'm wrong because the United decks handles like a dream and it feels lonely without it's USPCC counterpart .

Where can i buy these two deck:
1. Bicycle Welcome to Las Vegas (Black and Gold Color)
2. Bicycle 2020 Celebration

. . . . . are you sure?

If anyone else said this, I'd ignore it. Instead, I'm wondering what you know...

[shermjack]

If they are made available for retail, there will be a bunch of unhappy people who spent a lot of money to acquire them

[Entaro]

Looks like Steve has one up for sale on wounded Corner

[Harvonsgard]

Looks like Steve has three sets up for your scalp on wounded Corner

Fixed that for you .

My guess is that the sets as pictured will never be sold.

On Monday though, the rest of us may have a chance at Celebration...

[brownsl]

I will be getting the USPC deck in the next few days. Are you saying the set will be available soon?

Yeah saw an instagram post there would be 1750 sets of bicycle decks (a 5 deck set, one of which would be the Bicycle Celebration deck, all numbered) next week.
The one posting is cardvo from Singapore but pretty sure they won't be the only source.
I guess the sticker on the deck could be different from the previous "release", but who knows, oh well!

Ok, that is how I am getting mine.

There was a post about it on the bicycle Instagram as well

Now the question is how do you get the Cartamundi deck?

[Bikefanatic]

Now the question is how do you get the Cartamundi deck?

Right, I want that one the most. Both the United and Bicycle 2020 decks with the blue case can be bought for $1500 on a website. Nope.

[brownsl]

Now the question is how do you get the Cartamundi deck?

I would think that they produced the same number of decks of each. If the USPC deck can be put in 1,750 signature sets seems like there might be a fair number of Cartamundi decks still available.

[Harvonsgard]

[Bikefanatic]

Sucks if people did pay $1500+ when it's a possibility to get both decks way lower priced.

No idea what this cryptic post means.

[Harvonsgard]

Nobody forced anyone. If you spend 1500 bucks on a pair of contemporary cards then either A) you're ______ or B) it's easy money/disposable income for you. So in both cases no pity.

It's usually option B when people do that. A bidder paid like $3000 for a set.

This set were gifts people got for free and nothing was mentioned about them being rare but that was probably the perception. I might change my mind to get the 2020 deck and wait for United, hopefully.

[Harvonsgard]

Appearantly the United are. I heard somewhat reliable sources say 300-500. Celebration, counting these 1750 sets in, I'd say 2,000-2,250.
