I also don't think that any of the 500 non sealed decks will be more valuable than sealed. For a person that doesn't have one, more than likely I doubt they wouldn't care if they had the opportunity to get either or.

Actally given how popular Lorenzo is and how many Stockholm17 completionists there are, not sure that's true. I think there will be far more of the 1000 edition version available for sale as I think quite a few hype resellers bought them (think SoCalCards for example) and the 500 edition version will likely only have 1-2 per person.

YMMV.
For those who are in the mindset that the later-released 500 non sealed deck will be more valuable, that's just a way to create a pseudo-logical narrative for hype, and if one believes that and is willing to purchase for the excessive price...

Yes, you deserve to be ripped off.

Lorenzo has said the 500 deck will have a seal. He's still deciding what to print on the seal (if and how it'll be numbered).

I like Alex's suggestion.

I emailed them back, relinquishing the add'l 4 decks above the 6 I ordered. I also asked if, instead of getting refunded for 4 decks, I could get a refund for 3 and "pre-purchase" one of the new 500-editions. They said they couldn't do that. That was a little disapointing, considering I'm doing them a favor, but understandable as they're trying to correct a problem and this may create a different (albeit smaller) problem.

Option three and your option (yah, I mean with a question mark on the seal, lol) are the best for me.

aardvarkgod wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:14 am Not going to lie, I plan on buying one without a seal, even though I was able to get a few from the initial release. "Print run" of only 500 makes this one more rare than the original, lol.

That is if there are any left by the time you are able to get one because it's only for those who missed out first.

I'll thankfully never understand this it is rare(r) mindset. Like who cares (besides resellers of course)? I always thought once you've passed adolescence you stop caring for artificial stuff like that .

If people already got decks from the first go around want a non sealed deck, would that make it more of a hassle for people who don't have one?

So I'm a child now just because I collect the way I want to collect?

Like Dave Chapelle, I said what I said - that was not what I said (wrote).

If anyone is lucky enough to snatch multiple decks, I'd be interested in getting one. Thanks!

Which part of Asia are you in? There's a few of us from South East Asia and I've seldom seen any problems with Paypal .

Also would like to get 1 as well if anyone with extra are willing to part with either version of the deck.

I'm in South East Asia too (Singapore). That's weird, I tried multiple times with multiple cards but nothing works.

Has anybody heard when they plan to start shipping out the club decks at all? Are they going to wait on shipping the first batch until they've printed the second batch?

I bought my decks just seconds after they were available and have not had any update. I certainly hope they do not wait until the second batch is printed.

I just got a shipping notification and tracking number in my email

I also got a shipping notification today as well. Hopefully before this sunday I'll have them.

Same, I just received an email with tracking number.

Funny thing. So did I.

I got my decks today. At first I had to slowly wiggle off the top part of the deck to prevent damage. After that it's easy to put back on and take off. The ace of spade has to be at the bottom/top of the deck for it to be shown through the front of the tuck.

Reposting here since this is more fitting - hope that's okay!

These are even better than I was hoping for And the seal was extremely easy to cut, I used a fingernail

Awesome on the hand!!

I see what you did there Lorenzo

That's good, all the number 4 cards.

I thought the extra 500 decks would've been released but haven't seen anything about them unless the date was changed.

I am not sure, but I think it will take awhile to release as they have to make a whole new print run of the decks and tucks. They also need to get them shipped to the US.

For those who are members and didn't get a deck first time around, check your emails. New decks are available for ordering (sorta) now.

Can someone pick up just 1 extra deck for me? I will gladly pay extra for it plus shipping. US resident who missed out on 1st release. I would be super duper grateful.

It's not allowed. One per person. If there are extras they will open up to everyone.
