I took the liberty of filling in the blanks. Most of these should have a thread here somewhere, so just search for them.

I can't identify the last two though :|

Thanks!

The only two you filled in which I have are the Bike Venom and Bike Venom Strike.

In my defense I will state that they are probably my two least favorite Bikes of the two hundred or so in my collection.

Most of the ones you filled in I've never even heard of.

Hey CBJ, you need to sell or give away some of those Clot decks. :D I would prefer those over the funny green colored BAPE deck.

"Clot" - what a lovely name.

It is evidently the name of a Japanese clothing store, and the deck is their advertising deck.

Perhaps it is a misguided attempt at abbreviating "clothing"?

You won't find much about it online. It was made in 2008 as a hand out if you wanted to have a custom deck made, so you could see samples of their cards.
This was before the major custom card boom in the industry.

I haven't opened mine, but every card is different

Sorry for the double post.


I've had a few people reach out to me about these decks... and I think I may be selling a couple at market value soon... along with some of my other duplicates

I'll keep you guys posted.

Yep, everything all wrapped up in a metric tonne of tissue paper. :mrgreen: Without a doubt the most packaging I've had for a deck of cards.

My deck of Sultana playing cards from the Kickstarter arrived today. It's a nice deck, I especially like the flower backgrounds that are different for each suit.

The Sons of Anarchy Deck.

It's a China deck with a one-way Back, but they did a great job with the Photos (Black and White pics can easily print muddy). Plus each denomination highlights a specific Actor or Actress from the show with a unique photo for each Suit. I'm a big fan of the show so it was a no-brainer to pick one up when I came across it at some store in the mall.

@Magic Orthodoxy - I did get one of this Atari Decks. I think it's great!

Thanks, Randy
