Was the charmers signature limited to 50 version exclusive to the kickstarter? I had not heard of it until now.

No, there were 240 Charmer Signature decks produced. I know Kellar has some gilded he sold directly that were like 100 issued. I think he is selling or had for sale recently a special gilded deck in a wooden case that was limited to 50 that I recall being told it was in a different tuck than other issues. I hope that helps.

Curious if anyone received these or not. Were supposed to ship end of July. I've had no communication or shipping notice as of yet. Pretty disappointed for something that was such a high cost. I have emailed but just wanted to know if anyone else who purchased has received or heard anything.

Someone posted about these in a Facebook group I'm in and I got mad thinking there was yet another one after that limited 50 run from earlier this year. Didn't realize it was the same one and surprised they're still available. Got my tracking email yesterday and completely forgot what I had even ordered :D

What a delightful deck. This is also one of the nominees for 52 Plus Joker's Diamond Award for 2021 Deck of the Year.

The court cards on the standard decks turned out very nice.

This joker gives me more creepy vibes than ES (both OG and remake). He's the main reason (besides the courts) I got rid of the Oath Standard GoG I had.

Speaking of mirrors, does the mirror joker actually work? I have a hard time imagine that with rrrrrrrrubbish cold foil you see anything but blur.

Outside of the wax seal, there doesn't seem to be anything special about these. Why are they $48?

This is basically: Purple edition tucked into some fancy box with seal and a signature

The packaging and the magician’s name are what makes this deck seemingly costly

I would say "limited to 400. Signed and numbered." is special. IMO

Artificial rarity and brand recognition. The model is only sustainable for so long with things like this: wax seals, tuck swaps, color changes, gildings, etc.

Something new brewing at OathPCC. This is an interesting development, as Lotrek hasn't collaborated with anyone since Visions.

Unless the courts are reworked, I'll have as much interest as I did for any of the previous iterations.

While I have a ton of Lotrek stuff, this just doesn't interest me. I will pass. I didn't get what I considered after-market gilded decks either. Best wishes with it though. The tuck does look nice.

I only kept the purple, green and teal decks. Looking forward to what's new.

The tuck is a beautiful white with leather-like texture.
