Something Wicked This Way Comes!

Cards cut out from cursed books from a thousand years ago

[Mike Ratledge]

I think I've got it figured out Mike started this thread to glean all of our ideas to jumble into one huge transformational transforming minimal invisible holographic metallic handmade carbon fiber disappearing hand numbered glow in the dark recycled paper printed one of a kind decks printed by Keebler elves at EPCC, finished at USPCC, packaged by Jackson's minion(s) in tuck cases made by Encarded, and foiled at Half Moon, and all sent to Canada, so EVERYONE has to pay international shipping, except vjose (who will still find something to complain about) and CBJ (who will somehow find 4 different Bicycle versions).

I will apologize in advance if anyone took offense to anything I wrote here. Just wanted to pack all the, um, more interesting ideas here in one place to give everyone a good laugh, cuz I, for one, am out of ideas about what this could possibly be.

Well, that definitely was NOT the intent, but it kind of has ended up that way - you guys are full of great ideas (and pooh as well )... Still not there, although somebody might have come close one time.

[Jock1971]

Uspcc have allowed adjustments to their rider backs

[Jock1971]

Each and every card is hand drawn and cut. .No machinery involved

[Mike Ratledge]

Nope, and nope...

[Jock1971]

Aaaaaaaarrrrhhhh......my head hurts

[Eoghann]

Who came close? Pleeeeeease tell us?

[volantangel]

Haha mike the person who came the closest should get a prize !

[Sher]

EPCC just came out with a deck that has foil on the backs of the cards... Maybe this deck will have foil on both the backs and faces?! But foil on the tuck has been done before so maybe that's not it...

[MagikFingerz]

pips and courts watermarked so they are `inside` the cards.

Yep, I just meant he won in being the "Most cultured"

Isn`t wahl was a She not a He?

This is the internet; where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents

Seriously though, I should have realized that the winner of "Most cultured" was female. After all, women are from Venus and men are from the Planet of the Apes (what are they calling that next movie? "The Rise and the Fall at the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"? ).

Well, that definitely was NOT the intent, but it kind of has ended up that way - you guys are full of great ideas (and pooh as well )... Still not there, although somebody might have come close one time.

Winnie the Pooh is involved too!? That conniving bastard, always acting all innocent!

[Yashi]

I've got it! Individually drawn and inked playing cards by Lotrek. Limited Edition of 100. Tuck has 10 levels of embossing and rainbow foils and a seal stuck on with super glue.

[montecarlojoe]

Stone / ceramic / glass tuck box?

Vellum cards and Bee stick tucK?

[Eoghann]

Maybe there's a clue in that Hellenic Monopoly package Mike got the othe day.

A marble tuck case! Hellenistic Greece is famous for its beautiful marble sculptures.

Or a marble game set.

[Cbkimble]

could it be a card in which the graphic changes when the card turns vertical to horizontal or vice-versa?

[Cbkimble]

could it be a card design where the courts, pips, aces shift when the card turns?

so who came close? that at least could narrow it down.

[Jock1971]

All the backs when placed together .ala uncut sheet . makes up one huge picture of one card back.
so if you buy 52 packs and placed all backs together it would make a huge picture of a card back containing a 52 huge pictures of a card back
And if you bought 2,704 packs and placed all the backs together.................

[Jock1971]

Maybe Lotrek is going to sell us seeds and we have to grow our decks

[Maddest Hammer]

This is weighing to heavily on me, considering I'm supposed to be writing a paper for history class. But this came to me, perfect registration. One reason Paul Carpenter stated he went with EPCC was close to perfect registration. One reason for the thick borders MagicFingerz hates is because USPCC "can't" do perfect registration. Even full bleed backs aren't perfect. And I'll be the first one here to say, that apparently as expensive as a single tuck box costs a creator, USPCC could do a better job of cutting, gluing and folding the tucks.

[volantangel]

This is quickly becoming the most popular thread on UC, when will this take over the "look what I added to my collection" thread?

[sinjin7]

This is quickly becoming the most tired thread as well. Just tell us already!

[PrincessTrouble]

Lenticular court cards and tuck?

[Cbkimble]

Ive got it!!! Cards made out of bacon. Bacon has become that very popular.

[montecarlojoe]

Edge colouring a la CBJ?

[Yashi]

Maybe it's 2 mini Venexiana decks in a poker sized Venexiana tuck.

[Mike Ratledge]

Ive got it!!! Cards made out of bacon. Bacon has become that very popular.

Nope, no, no and nope again. Still, you are all giving this some thought again, maybe soon I can announce that someone has won themselves one of the 200 unique items that will be sold? I do know that I haven't given up that tidbit yet: there will only be exactly 200 of these - whatever they might be - and that's it, so it will be yet another VERY exclusive more than limited edition, as in not 1000 of them. I meant to, but I don't think that I said that before either, but whoever hits the nail on the head will get one of the very first of these made available - and we're not that far away from them being "for sale".

This has really been fun, folks! I have enjoyed it, and I think everybody else has as well! Too cool: it's just one of those things that I hear that hasn't been spread beyond an exclusive 'circle' and in this case it's a VERY tight loop of 2 people - myself here in Charleston and Lotrek in Athens Greece.

[Jock1971]

Cards and tuck with hand made ink made from crushed grapes.

[Jock1971]

Ink made from crushed moon rock

[Jock1971]

Hand made cards and tuck with ink thats been blessed by the Pope

[TLZ1979]

I have finally figured it out.

The quote previous is from Shakespeare but he was a fraud and his plays were written by the queen's favourite Christopher Marlowe who had fled England to live in Italy.

Once if his favourite and famous quotes is Too Bee or not too Bee (his reason for this quote was that he got a deck of BEE stock cards as a gift from the Queen, and to his horror the stock was only made out of paper).

The population of Bees currently world wide is very low, so there is only enough of them to do one run of 200 decks.

so for the first time ever Bee stock is actually going to Bee made from the bodies and blood of crushed Bees.

But the cost of these decks will sting your wallet or purse.
