I suppose everyone has a price in mind for what they think an uncut is worth. I think mine is around $40. But then again, I've only ever bought 2 uncuts (one of which was slightly more, and one was much less).
IMO, uncuts should be priced more around $20 but with this being an pretty limited sheet, I think $50 is fair.

Oh, I agree. I should have phrased myself differently, I meant to say "upper limit". For the average uncut though, I almost feel like even $20 is too high. The 808 ones are where they should be.

I'm hoping the uncut tuck proof is made up of the same super thick paper stock that was used on the actual tucks. I ordered 4 because they were so reasonably priced and I think k I'll put a couple of them together to use as backup boxes since the foil is delicate and tends to wear off on the edges and corners.

It is exactly the same. It's really just an extra tuck off the production line, only sealed on the one edge and flat. You could certainly complete the assembly and put your cards in it!

Such a beautiful deck, Im new so sorry if this is a stupid question but are there many numbered series of decks? Is this one of the more rare (rarest?) modern prints?

There are fair number of decks that had numbered seals like that these days. I certainly didn't invent the idea, but it is extra cost and complication to produce so you don't see it on everything. Zenith is one of the smallest runs out there. We often see "limited" releases where a company actual sells a smaller number of decks but has many more in reserve. Zenith was only printed in a run of 1000, and that's all there is. If you print with USPCC or EPCC, most of the time you have to run their minimums of 2,500. I have about 40 (1-24 and a handful of unnumbered tests) and thats it, everything else with a number was sold and there are no more hidden away that will appear for sale later.

Zenith is one of my favorite decks and favorite tucks. If you find one, snatch it up, flushfacker!
