Why does everything holo always looks good?

Okay, on a serious note: I hate to see if some brands decide to take Holographic foil for granted

If someone makes a holo deck for the sake of another variant, I find it can look pretty tacky. If the deck is created with holo in mind and used artistically, one can achieve some pretty awesome results.

yeah, i could name several decks that even with holo are just shit.

This one might get some shade, but I think holo made this deck finally work for me (not the slightest desire for the non-holos):

Probably due to the facets

Urgh... to an extent that I have to hold my breath to avoid vomitting.
Just when I finally have one of the few diffraction foiled decks on the horizon that are somewhat tasteful and well executed, you felt the urge to mud this thread...
Memento Mori... ironic that it won't die.

There it is.

You can say what you want but I'm reliable

These are live now for pre- order and I have an issue. I wanted to purchase a deck or 2 but shipping is ridiculous so perhaps someone here residing state side would be willing to go in together? Or is getting a brick and wouldnt mind selling one? $15 shipping for a $25 deck is insane. I was going to get 2 and figured with shipping would be around $55 but $65 for 2 decks is way too much.

I tried entering their website, but it asks for a password. Can someone share it? If it is allowed of course

Password is flora. It's no secret; if you sign up to the mailing list you get it send automatically with every release. It's just to prevent bots.

Ah damnit... should've checked prior. As I'm swimming in money, I just ordered two and said fukkit in regrads to shipping. AoP is doing dealersgrips fulfillment so shipping is always rugged. Shipping for a brick is $15 as well.

Next time a dealersgrip release is on the horizon let's talk earlier. If I'm not mistaken GandalfPC, hsbc and I are often in when it comes to dealersgrip decks so a half brick is already sold.

If someone in the US takes a brick to split it up I would be down for two decks (or three if necessary) and I would just cancel my order.

Yup - same, grabbed two and ate the shipping - sure we have a brick amongst the bunch of us

Ok I appreciate it, do you think a 1500 print run will sell out fast? I'm just wondering if I should just grin and bare the shipping cost and just order 2.

Dealersgrip are mostly up for some hours.

I figured it's $15 because it's shipping directly from Legends. $15 from AoP is egregious

Two decks shipped to me across the globe from Legends:

I'm in the same state as AoP...that just seems like profiting off shipping too. As much as I like this deck I'm really conflicted on jumping in for the price.

Just think of it as a $40 hot foil deck from a hype company, limited to 1500 with free shipping ;_;

This is the way .

That is about the size of it - I do wonder about these shipping prices (in general) for decks - would it not increase sales in general to find a cheaper method (which obviously exists) - I can mail it to you cheaper, thus, so can they.

And legends ships in a big box, with solid styrofoam box inside that, and another box - no cutting corners there.

Shipping price on decks has been more of a sale killer for me than decks I don’t like (or thereabouts).

I caved in as well and got the 2 decks. While I find the excess shipping a bit of a turn off these cards just look too pretty to miss out on. The first dealersgrip deck that really caught my eye.

They are indeed too dang pretty.

I got $11 shipping rates to Indonesia. Well, it might be costly yet it is the typical rates for me

For those who haven't bought it yet, it might be worth reaching out to Henry to see if he has stock to sell. I just got one for myself and one for a local friend for $30ea.

Oh I am sure Henry will stock them in! He already announces it in his IG story. He got you all covered!

this is true here as well.

Unboxing the holographic Sepal playing cards:

GLORIOUS!

For whom it ever may concern... double deck set with diffraction gilded edges for $152...

After seing the pricetag my attention fell off (not that I would be interested if it only were $20 or so) so, I might got it wrong but if I'm correct, it's a holo sepal and holo error together in the box and you get a prologue deck (2021 special deck) with your order as well.

I’m going to wait for the triple deck set
