Does anyone know how long it takes them to announce winners from their Friday contests?

Most get picked the Monday After.

Looks like something new in April:



Looks like the back of a new deck to me... a nice elegant back!

hash tag BEST CLUB EVER! I'm not quite sure if I used the term "hash tag" correctly- aside from this forum, I'm not a member of any social media sites. But that's how all my friends use it: "Bruins power play. Hash tag s#!tty."

It looks like something that could be inspired from the Roarin' 20's! I like that they're having fun with unique Back Designs for the 808 club decks!

Thanks, Randy

I just received an email informing me that I have won the March contest of card inspired tattoos. My prize, a tattoo deck uncut signed by all the members of Linkin Park! Stoked!

Quite costly to get that deck .. $10 to ship a single deck ...

The Cigar deck looks great. Custom Pip layouts & cutom courts. They are releasing the uncut 1st this time, I guess the deck will be out next month.

Congrats!!! Post the picture you submited.

Now that should of been the first deck released haha Looks elegant like you said.

Hey congrats that is a great pickup. Good to see someone on here win. I am not a Lincoln Park fan but that is a great addition to the collection.

Thank you. Here is the pic I submitted

how weird that the pip layout is not consistent from suit to suit.

Why does the seven of diamonds make the number 6?

That's just a design decision I reckon. And it's really just the way you are looking at it. Looks more like a box with an open top to me

From what I can tell, all the diamonds have their pips in a domino orientation, that's why it looks like that.

I'm happy for anyone enjoying their membership. I feel like I wasted my money. They should have had more club decks and stuff , ready to go. So far, new products are painfully slow. I w7sh they would upgrade the stock and use magic finish for their custom cards. I am also not very impressed with their choice of artwork, but that's just me. We'll see what happens this year, but I don't think I will re-up again...

I'll get the cigar deck when it comes out and the griffin deck

Any international members ever receive this? I didn't

No. Not holding my breath either.

I felt that the reports that "all Club 808" members would receive it seemed hollow... and it appears so.

Did you sign up and pledge to throw a party on that Saturday?

I received mine. (I'm in Canada)

I had to call, and I was transferred to another department where I left a message stating my problem.

6 hours later, I received an e-mail notification that my package was shipped.

I would suggest calling them,

looks like the Griffen deck Limit has been increased to 2 bricks. Uncuts are still at 4.

Cigar deck is now available

Coming in July, the Pluma deck, which looks pretty cool. Ill post pics once I get on the computer if nobody else does first.

Edit - Sorry I don't know how to get the pics on here since it doesn't let me copy the shortcut and I don't see any way of just posting pics here.

Too bad the Espionage isn't released until Dec 1st.

I'm not in the club. May I ask some questions?
If I join now, will I be able to buy previous decks that are released?
Are they all still avaliable?

Also, how is international shipping rate of the site?

Thank you.

Looks like everything is still available, and I doubt they block new members from buying anything.

Shipping is $14,99 for 1-4 decks, $19,99 for 5-6, $21,99 for 7-9, $28,99 for 10-13 (all First Class, Priority is also available at a slightly higher rate).

Cool, good thing I didn't pull the trigger on buying the espionage uncut yesterday. I'll wait until the sale to get it.

Well, at the risk of ticking a few people off (I have been a member since March, I think):

The decks are limited to 24 per person, that's not exclusive enough, they are all available for sale in a lot of places - but note that the prices are definitely marked up at least double what they want, even though the latest decks seem to be priced higher, maybe $7.99 per deck instead of $5.88, like when I first joined. That being beside the point, you can defintely get the membership to pay for itself just by reselling a couple of decks (or uncuts, which are all $9.99 and limited to 4 per customer).

I don't think that $18 or $19 bucks for membership is unreasonable, and they do have several other things not available elsewhere, like the flask, poster art, and I think those are gone, but used to have a set of Bicycle-branded cups/glasses, I think. (maybe I saw those elsewhere?)

As far as shipping out of the states, I think it's just what we are paying for letting the Postal "Service" go semi-private, the prices seem to jump every year and this past year was a major bump and we're going to get another one on January 1st. I've noticed that they moved their website from usps.gov to usps.com to make the point, I suppose. Still, the costs are going up way too fast, and other than tracking packages better as of about 6 weeks ago, nothing has improved, if anything it's worse. I guess we have UPS and FedEx to "blame" for that, they used to depend on "parcel" shipping to offset their income for mail, now they are giving up trying to compete, and the international shipping prices are suffering because there is no competition to speak of any more.

The Cigar Deck is nice, Amber Stag is OK, the latest Espionage is kind of nice in certain ways and really disappointing because of the stupid childish back design. Griffen, sure; Speakeasy, well, OK. I would like to see them take it in another direction and start doing some truly limited (1000, maybe? They don't have to obey their own rules) decks. 5000 is just not limited, IMHO.

Thank you everyone. I think i'll join them soon.

Just wondering about renewing the membership.
Is it 18.85$ and will you get another bicycle 808 deck?
Also does the limit on the products get added on, recount, or doesn't change?
