Sharps Private Reserve by Legends Playing Card Co.

Unread post by vasta41 »

They say to keep this a secret but the way I feel about it is the members of this forum are in the circle of trust.

FACTORY PRINTED SHADE
EXTREMELY LIMITED AND RARE
(This is a private link sent to our subscribers and top customers, please keep this a secret!)
One of the most sophisticated marked decks in the world, printed on the entirely new Classic Finish
Can you see the marks in the photo above? The suits and values can be read by someone who has trained their eyes. A deck this advanced should cost well over $100 if you know what to look for. Decks with similar technology but made by hand by professional hustlers cost well over $150. A closely guarded secret in the playing card world, the secret is out and ready to be shared to those who are knowledgeable in advantage play. These decks are for entertainment use only.

Though inspired by and similar in look to David Blaine's White Lions playing cards, the marking method is completely different. These decks feature factory printed white on white 'shade'. A process which is extremely difficult and required extensive experimentation to perfect. This means that to the naked untrained eye, it is very difficult to see parts of the card back jump around or move when the 'riffle test' is performed, nor will the coating be affected like expensive decks which are juiced by hand.

TRAIN YOUR EYES IN 3 STEPS
It will take an average of six hours to train your eyes to read these cards. The colors are carefully chosen to aid in learning. Start with the blue deck, which has the heaviest shade, and experts can work their way to the green deck, which is the lightest read.

CLASSIC FINISH PAPER
Over a year ago we discovered and imported a new paper type, which is now called Classic Finish. Softer and more 'papery' feeling stock. We are now offering this finish to select customers for custom orders, starting at 1,000 decks.
Image

Image
We printed 1,000 decks in 3 color variations. Around 600 total will be for sale over the next few years, and only 300 decks will be offered at this time. Once they are gone, we don't even know if we will release the other 200, and if we do they most certainly will be more expensive. Of course these will never be-reprinted, but the Sharps line of cards from LPCC may continue with different artwork.

1,000 decks per color printed, only 600 decks per color will be for sale, with only 300 decks offered at this time. The next time they are listed they will cost much more. First come first serve.

*The tucks are labelled Diamond Finish, this is before we revised the naming to Classic Finish so as to avoid confusion of the new paper type. LPCC and EPCC will be offering this paper to select customers under the name Classic Finish. These decks are printed in our Taiwan factory with our ultra smooth "Diamond Cut" edges.
**Though inspired by techniques from professional hustlers, these decks are for entertainment and magic use only. We will not be held responsible for any injuies or misuse of these playing cards.
Gotta say, I really like these! And $38 shipped for all 3 isn't a bad price at all, IMO.

Ok, I was wonder what shipping would cost. Yeah, $5 for shipping isn't bad at all. Guess I'll buy a set. Wish I could get more.

I was faced with a moral dilemma- do I not share with the community or do I help out the people who help me find good deals and new products on a daily basis? I chose the latter to not be selfish. Is it too late to take it down?

EDIT: just removed the link

Well my thought process was everyone on this forum should be and probably is subscribed to all the newsletters (E, T11, D$D, etc.) anyway so like you said, this wouldn't be news at all. Just a nice new deck.
Or three.

You know... To my knowledge, I've never bought a deck of LPCC cards.

Unless DB cards were from LEgends. Or the Exquisite Bold deck.

Not real interested, aesthetic design is alright, but you need to see the whole back in order to decipher the marking system. And even then the marking is one way.

Also, I'm on te mailing list and didn't get the email.

I don't think it's a big secret at all. If you've purchased any cards from LPCC, you should have gotten the email. I bought some Serpentine decks (they're nice) and I got the email. I'm not interested in these ones. 100 sets or so left...

I also don't think it's that big of a secret- if they wanted to limit sales, they would start a VIP club like E, Club808, etc. But Pierre made me paranoid! I don't want to do anything that's going to get me black-listed in the playing card community lol

Vasta don't worry about it so much, no need to be paranoid. You did what you did with love in your heart. Amended the possible mistake as quickly as you could. I think they'll be okay with it. :)

If you get an email from them all....

I don't think it'd be a big problem to share it here since we're not really a huge group but sharing on FB would definitely cause a stir.

Me too. kinda wished I had picked up half a brick. This is probably just a sells tactic though, sell them during this small window, shut down selling, come back a month or two later and double or triple the price.
