Ah, I so rarely get something different these days: Lotrek's Venexiana Dark Signature Edition decks #1 gold & #2 platinum:

I got a 5# box from Erik Mana, have to assume it's bricks of Sybil, but it has to wait for opening when I get home from the post office.

Got a small package in today. I do like the new red monarchs, a much nicer hue than the originals. And he green ones are very dark as well.

Went to a sign convention for the past few days and got some nice little souvenirs:

- it's been shown before at some point, but I got my hands on the Ceasar's Casino deck.
- Roland was handing out these promo decks which depict the courts being created through several of their machines. The pips are representative of their services: inkjet printers, cutters, milling and engraving, and software. Pretty nice surprise, grabbed a couple.

I decided to show back of Unions deck with the embossed, shiny copper eagles. I also like the color used for the hearts and diamonds. Mantecore is another deck surprisingly done well.

Got a bunch of vintage 1974 sealed long flap Aviators bridge size opened one to see the age. Not worth much but cool to have. :D

Something different. Left deck is all triangles, right deck is album art. Crappy cards though.

Pretty darn cool. Bit of a Pink Floyd fan, remember having the girls as my desktop background for a long while when I was younger. Where'd you pick it up at?

Prisms in 2d. I found them in a holiday popup store in the mall here in Canada. But they do seem to exist online. The tin is indeed the best part ;)

Small package arrived today from Jackson. These cards are amazing!! My only let down is that I didn't get the same serial number legacy as I did for the Scarlett Tally-Ho edition. So if whomever has #49 of the Emeralds and they want to do a straight across trade, let me know.

Side note- I will be putting Legacy deck No. 31 of 50 up for sale along with one of the error silver edition decks.

How much have Legacy cases sold in the past? You got two of them at that, I'll like to own one just because.

I only used one account, but did get charged for all 4 of them. Sorry, but I didn't purposefully try to circumnavigate any limits.


ETA: To avoid any hurt feelings, accusations or general disgruntledness about me supposedly swindling the system, I will donate 1 deck to the Deck of the Year awards thingy that we do, (if Mike will accept it). The other one I will sell on eBay and donate the proceeds to the Fisher House Foundation.

Got a delivery today as well. The registration is spot on with my deck, no discernible difference from side to side.

Ok. I think they're $150 so that's cool if people doubled their money.
