Has anyone else been afraid to post their white whale with the chance that on seeing it here someone else will now want it and be competing with you for it? There are many lurkers.

Nope. In fact when I posted my white whale on the other forum turns out Jackson had one but we weren't able to come to an agreement on a trade unfortunately so still looking for OG Vietnam Secret Weapon deck. That's the closest I've come in a few years of searching.

Me too, me too...I'll toss in $20. I wonder if you can squeeze more than 1 or 2 decks out in one trip?

Hey, if needed I'll go $50 from my UC Reserve so I can put one away for next year and the 2014 Deck of the Year contest prizes. I already have several prizes.. . This time (next year) I think we'll make the top prizes "round-robin", so 1st place picks from the prizes, then 2nd place, etc. Sounds right to me...

Folk uorganiserede nordiske? Nu, er en selvmodsigelse i terminologi. heheh, sorry - I'm thinking about Danish engineering, frankly - it's one of those things that even we 'Mericuns appreciate.

I got the Bicycle Boss deck out of the way, it's just only the V1 of Johnny Cupcakes that's impossible. Even on ebay it's nowhere.

I have just received an email (I hope I do not jinx this..) that my (12) Icelandair decks are headed my way today/tomorrow. Not sure how long standard post will take, but I am patiently waiting...

As for how I got them... I guess it is my amazing personality and charm.. :D

I will be keeping two decks for myself. I will work out some method to offer these to anyone here. I need to verify my grand total, but I wont be stabbing anyone on price... : :P

Will keep you posted...
