They've been using this EPCCO name for a while now:

Phew! Thought it might by EPCC.....

(Had a deck of Pressers once. ... once.)

I wouldn't have a problem with it being EPCC but I doubt E will work with anyone other than USPCC in the near future.

Why? Just curious. Did something happen between E and EPCC?

Will be this pack available for all customers or only for the black (and expensive) club?

There will be most likely a prerelease for the Black club member, but then I really do not expect this to be black club only all the time.

I think it's more that Ellusionist is probably one of the top customers of USPCC custom department and it would be scandalous to use anyone else.

I'm not usually an add-on kinda guy but I would love it if there were some kind of wooden case or something of the sort sold with all 6 decks. This is sweet! I'm really looking forward to these.

Let´s take a guess - 6 custom decks with embossing/foils etc. fully customized - what would you pay for such a set of high percentage(yeah silly word play... ) customization ?

I´m curious what you were ready to pay for such a set , so give it a shot in the blue and post your guesses!

i say $59.95 and maybe something special for "early birds" or the first 24 hrs

It's the shipping that will be a killer. Here's hoping they have some sort of "spend $XX, get free shipping" sale this holiday season.

We all want that but we know this would be suicide for E.... or the order has to be ~250$ for int. and below 2kg and without points or discount codes smth almost impossible. More wise is to trow a deck or so for free, in bussness you should never trow money like that. Free Shipping isn really free - the price for the item would be higher than a shop without free shipping. There are rare excpetions like penguinmagic (for decks at least).

I would say 50$ with bonus some box/case etc for first orders/day.

Lessee, last year's number was $1000 for the brick of rares, so let's go for limited set w/ bells and whistles for $1500 purchase.

While we're at it, I predict that the site will have problems on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (or whenever the sales are). People will not be able to complete their orders, and they will have to "extend" the sale a day or two, etc. In other words, same thing as every previous year. (Does that prediction count as "magic"?)

Yes, I expect the usual brouhaha up front, but they're not going to go to all this trouble without planning on selling a veritable peepot of them. They have to sell a lot to overcome pretty intensive design fees and more than average for production add-ons.

I like them, will buy them, but wouldn't join the club to get them early.

We don't know if all are full custom but assuming they are- and they should be- I might go a little higher, maybe 64 bucks and 8 more for a custom cardboard box. Perhaps around $72.00 for the full Monty.

Ok.... I'm in!

YES!! That's the kind of box set I was hoping for! Dear, E: my money is all yours for this one.

wow, this looks really well done. Cannot wait to own these!

That tequila deck!

Seriously you guys, way to step up the game. Those look fantastic!

Those are some thin borders which I like , but the JoS and QoS don't match up or do they?

If they did, it would be the Calaveras deck.

Oh hell yeah! Looks great, but I hope (and assume) they will be available without the wood box. Don't get me wrong, display boxes are awesome, but they're usually grossly overpriced for something I can bang out in my shop for a fraction of the price in an afternoon.

Heres to hoping for reasonable international shipping rates !

Double that

Welcome back, Ellusionist! After a slew of Artifice/LTD re-colors and unending Madison decks, E is making a strong come-back. The only thing that would make me happier is if they followed this strong showing with . . .a fully blinged out Ghost Tally Ho deck!

That's going to make it or break it for me too.
