Love Art Playing Cards

Mirror · Unread post by **Mirror** » Wed Jul 30, 2014 5:22 am

So I stumbled on this on instagram and it immediately caught my attention because of my love for Smoke&Mirrors decks. It looks like someone worked with Si Scott again on a new deck of cards (or maybe it's not new I just haven't seen it before). Does anyone know anything about these?

I like it! I would be interested if someone knew more about those

UPDATE: The side of the box says "The BOCOPO Playing Card Co." so I googled it and it seems like a rather new website. Also, they have some shots of a different deck on there but nothing about this one.

Here's the link: http://bocopoart.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

EDIT: Here's their Facebook page, they seem to be a really new company. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bocopocom/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If I'm not wrong these would be released in the Chinese market and not the us market. It's to commemorate the Chinese valentines. I recall seeing a price somewhere but it's not cheap, somewhere in the ballpark of $40 a pair.

Depending on the back design, I might even consider getting some, just because Si Scott did it

I asked the guy who posted these pics and he said that they'll be for sale on friday in china and probably on ebay soon. I don't know about prices though.

Haha fanboy detected !!!! I honestly think it might be a little hard to get hold off, if I see a link I'll pass it on to you mirror

While I don't mind the illustration on the front of the box, I think the back side of the tuck with the words is just not aesthetically pleasing.

Maybe

Even outside of playing cards, I love his art and its a great inspiration for me. Also, the guy was kind enough to post another picture for me.

There are more pictures at http://love.youthwant.com.tw/4/book_rea ... w.facebook

So it's 160 rmb for preorder and 238 at launch for a pair.

Only 288 sets available, so that and the tuckbox leads me to think that these might be done at Mpc !

Thanks for the link! I see nothing wrong with MPC for small runs I have a few decks myself and they're not bad.

BUT: This link shows the design in USPCC templates: http://love.youthwant.com.tw/4/book_rea ... s.facebook" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I doubt it. 288 is the same number that Aloys usually has "available". The rest is likely wholesaled or kept for later (or both).

well thats true, but the tucks dont look like uspcc or epcc, thats how i came to the conclusion of mpc. But likely at least 500 were printed

I like the look of the deck and side by side in a shelf -> worth the addition to my collection.
It would be nice to know the printer and the production numbers.
The other Templar deck looks great as well

looking forward for more infos about those decks! Great find mirror & Kai

you're right dentyne. the deck was printed by uspcc which is confirmed by the seller who's also the exclusive agency in mainland china. as far as i know only 288 sets will be available for preorder via epcs e-store on taobao (an ebay-like platform owned by alibaba) in china market. preorder opens 8pm this Friday Beijing time. btw i'm from china.

Both of those look intriguing. I'm curious to see more.

I'm down for two sets of these and a set of their Templars when their store opens. Is there an easy way for a guy in the states to snag these?

msp062 · Unread post by **msp062** » Wed Jul 30, 2014 12:33 pm

I am interested in these as well! Hopefully they are made available outside of china.

Also interested in these... Just wonder how much the mugging will be on ebay if we can't get them from their site. :-/

Don't you resell enough overpriced decks? Let the collectors get their hands on those that are available, go resell something else.

In many cases with these Asian decks you're better off waiting until they hit EBay but not buying immediately when prices are inflated. If they are printing 2,500 the price should go down once they get into circulation and sellers have to compete among themselves.

I'm first and foremost a collector, this is how I started this hobby and how it will end.
Overpriced? Check again our price against the price of other resellers here in Europe

there was one but literally there isn't at the moment. I'm in a group chat on QQ(a popular instant messenger in China) where many collectors and flourishers exchange thoughts and ideas. the exlusive seller of this deck is there as well. I'll post the preorder link later.

you're welcome. here's the link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z ... 0328759541" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
have no idea if the seller accepts international order. btw, this seller is one of parties that made quality deck.

I have a few sellers I deal with on ebay that usually have all of these decks. I got all my quality decks from them in the past with no issues. I might wait to see if they get these
