Maddeck Playing Cards (Mad Deck)

[Sharpie]

I know they're bridge sized, but does anyone know where I can find these in the US?
$30 USD per deck plus shipping is hard to justify.

These are beautiful cards. Wish they were standard poker size though instead of bridge size.

[chess]

They look great, hopefully they can be found for a better price.

[cosmicsecret]

I looked it up and the price is high. Shipping to germany is about €7 ($10USD)
€ 31EUR ($41USD) shipped to germany - have to pass

[volantangel]

Well if im not wrong these are two decks with different back designs, "Playing Cards designed by Özlem Ölçer for Pag. A box of two decks with different backside colors."

Bridge size or not looks pretty damn good imo!

I'm pretty sure it's 60 Turkish Lira (TL) which is around $30 USD for the pair.

Wow, that makes me feel old. Last time I was in Turkey I bought an airsoft gun in a street market for about 5 million lira

That's what I thought too.
But the site has 2 different links. One for red and one for blue. Same description.

I'm going to confirm.

I own a pair of the MAD Decks (red and blue), and they are beautiful

I got them from http://www.pagnedemek.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (PAG) in early 2011, but the link is currently inactive. I remember paying around $28 for the pair, and shipping took about 3 weeks from Istanbul.

PAG was initially going to release a new deck of cards every 6 months or so, but they've only released 2 decks: MAD and Ottoman Bugs.

I also own the Ottoman Bugs decks, and they're creepily beautiful. I don't take the decks out often because they're a little disturbing to look at, but I'm glad to have them in my collection.

Here are images to the Ottoman Bugs deck:

Thanks for posting the Ottoman Bugs Emmanuel, I hadn't seen them before. Like them more than the MadDeck. Hopefully I can find them for sale somewhere.

These decks doesnt tempt me so much as to buy them. HMM..

[MJF]

I think this is a good looking deck... but $30.00/deck... come on... anyone know of anywhere cheaper to get these?

[Frequenter]

Signed up to say thank you. I have been looking for a place to buy these cards for AGES. I had even gone as far as contacting Ozlem Olcer, the artist, on Facebook! Everywhere I have looked has been out of stock, and the original manufacturer's website has been down for who knows how long. Fairly expensive (not as high as Functions, mind you...), but completely worth it. I've never wanted a deck that I couldn't get my hands on - except these. Absolutely thrilled I can now add them to my collections.

So. Again. Thank you.

Good news everyone, the MAD Deck is available for $14 (for the pair of decks) at MOMA Design Stores in NYC

I'm in NYC right now and two days ago, I dropped by the MOMA Design store in Soho (81 Spring St., New York). The set of decks are stacked in a central display of products on the upper level of the Store. There were at least 5 sets on the floor, possibly more in their stockroom.

The MAD Deck is not listed on their website, so it's best to call the store directly and arrange a way to order and ship (no idea how much shipping will be): (646) 613-1367 (81 Spring St., Soho location)

If the Soho store runs out, here are the other MOMA Design Store numbers:

44 West 53rd Street NY
(212) 767-1050

11 West 53rd Street NY
(212) 767-1050

[Sharpie]

Just ordered some. They are a "sale item" so get 'em while you can.

Thank you, Emmanuel!

[Evan]

Those courts are awesome! I'm not a fan of the back design, though. And since it's bridge sized, I won't be picking any up.

Thank you, Emmanuel!

You're welcome! What did the MOMA store's shipping cost end up being?

$5.95 USD - Not terrible.

[Emmanuel]

Sweet, not bad at all. You're going to enjoy the decks

Got an email today from Milk Design saying that they were unable to stock the cards, and would thus need to refund my money.

It's painfully apparent how desperate I was to get these cards in my last post, so you can imagine my disappointment.

I've spent 1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone with MoMA employees, trying to get one of the last Sale item decks sent to me in Australia. There has been zero progress.

I know I am new here, and I would be hesitant to help out a new guy in my ecosystem - but please, if there is ANYONE who is able to grab me a deck, I will pay you double what it cost you, as well as shipping to Australia. Hell, maybe someone bought a deck they don't want, or bought too many, I dunno. Just anything. I'm happy to pay you before you send them, obviously, and can do PayPal, Visa or direct deposit.

Please. Anyone. I sound like a madman, but for two years I have been trying to acquire this deck... I felt so close. Any help would leave me forever in your debt.

Regards,

Ollie.

Looks like I'm going to be able to help Frequenter out with this. We have exchanged some PMs and I should be able to send him his decks within a week to 10 days.

Just got your PM, Strag - have just replied

I cannot properly express how happy (and amazed) I have been with the support from the members of this forum. Walrus, Sharpie and Strag have all been incredibly kind in their offer to help me out. I'll be frequenting this forum a bunch from here on in, so let me know if I can ever give you guys a hand, albeit from downunder

Thanks! You never know

[Hvieira]

Does anyone know if this deck is still available on moma store, or anywhere i can order in the US?
Thank you!

As of last week it was not availible at MOMA. They said check back in a couple of weeks to see if they received any back in returns. Other than that they will not be at MOMA.

[Hvieira]

Yeah, I've contacted Moma and they gave me the same answer, they have no decks avaiable now. Thanks anyway!

I got a pair of each deck from the "Pag" website, and it took only a couple of weeks to get to me from Turkey. The artist for the Ottoman Bugs decks is a friend on Facebook, and I hadn't realized it. I"ll see what I can find out. It certainly would be a good thing to do these in poker size instead of bridge decks! Personally, it's one of my favorites thematic decks.
