Hi Folks - I don't suppose anyone has seen the 20% promo code the site refers to; apparently its meant to be on Davids Twitter / Instagram accounts, but I cant see anything?

Latest response from Gamblers to my queries:

'Not yet but hopefully this week'.  Quite literally as blunt as that (in response to my Q as to whether any decks had actually shipped yet.

When prompted as to why they haven't updated people out of courtesy, response as follows

'Its the duty of the seller. we are just the fulfillment company and still did post in forums'.

OK then...........

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Tribute to Vernon by Dan & Dave

Despite it all, I have to agree with Fes - I like it and picked it up.  I think its a fairly novel collectors item; but then again, as I have said before I am a complete sucker!

At a guess I reckon its going to be an art print of Vernon studying the EATCT, on an uncut sheet of the cards (the reverse being the faces of the playing cards).  You will need to buy the print to get the deck, hence only 500 will be available.

"In collaboration with an expert, a genius and an artist" - EATCT, Vernon and Dan Fredrickson(?).

Pure guess work, but if it pans out to be correct, for sure a heavy price tag will be involved.

RE Handcrafted - its Ryan Edwards, and he produces unorthodox and custom made card clips (in addition to close up pads and versions of EATCT etc.).

As I understand this is the first deck, 2,500 were printed and 2,000 or so made available for sale.

Sure Don, all apologies; still learning at this: http://www.rehandcrafted.com.  Its just the main website (which isn't working terribly well at the moment, then you click through);

http://www.rehandcrafted.com/

I hope this helps?

Playing Card Plethora / Aristocrat Classic Edition by D&D
« on: April 04, 2015, 12:52:55 PM »
Hi Folks,

Its been far too long since I posted last, but watching my little boy grow takes up some time!

Surprised to see (unless I have it wrong) that there have been no comments so far on the Variety Box release or the Aristocrats Classics?

I bypassed the box but picked up a pair of decks - by the community silence have I made a bad move.....?

I hope you are all well.

12
A fairly strange pledge level system? No mixed bricks etc, with a focus on prints?

13
From what I can see so far, definitely getting my vote.

I was sorely tempted to go for that option also, but couldn't resist picking up on the original green - the New Year hasn't even kicked off and the spending has started already............I too am looking forward to getting mine!

Happy New Year to all.

Some excellent Erdnase packages available from CARC: http://shop.conjuringarts.org/store/pc/Erdnase-Bundles-c146.htm

(I know this may not be the correct place for this post, but one of the bundles does contain playing cards!)

I was excited to receive mine and enjoyed reading it very much - good job guys!

I suppose you could always use the cads to roll something up in.  Like your fish n chips munchies after you've rolled something up. How on earth someone so taken by the subject matter managed to muster up the energy to 'create' these let alone muster up the energy to get out of bed is beyond me.  Peace man.

Hi - these have now arrived, so if anyone wants one can you drop me a line. The cost of shipping (of which I have no idea) lies with you, but the decks on me. Merry Christmas - I may even pick up the tab for shipping for my colleagues!

Do you know what you guys - you are a great bunch of guys. I am sure there is a correct place to post this as I deviate, but as December begins, I thank you all for keeping me going by reading your interesting thoughts. What a great night it would be if we could meet in person and share a beer or two. As advent begins, I wish you all (and your families) a Magical Christmas. Angela, Gary and Matthew (the next David Blaine...........)

I did apologise in advance for causing annoyance.

In terms of card collecting, I thoroughly enjoy the 'thrill of the chase' in attempt to secure decks for my collection. I am happy to set my alarm for ridiculous o'clock if needs be (I am outside most of you guys in the USA). Sad, I know, but like you all, my love of this collecting hobby takes over at times (and my first hobby love is actually sleight of hand card magic).

Don - as I mentioned, people have expectations, particularly of someone at DB's level; clear communication is great thing, and I do believe that people (i.e. 'we') should have been notified one way or another over and beyond the tweet posted telling all the site would be up and running soon.  Axiomatically there is some issue, but a simple explanation to people who are prepared to pay hard earned money for the products expected would have been nice.  As I said, this could have been issued by PR; for an internationally recognised star, I ignorantly assumed more than "a couple of people" would be involved.

As for all the 'seriously people' type remarks, as I said above, my love for this hobby takes over at times.  But not so much as my love for my Wife and Son who are the real primary love in my life. So,
 
Don - I am certainly not clamouring for his cards (the term which I find rather offensive), but I did expect a 'promise' to be upheld.

CardPlayer - No, it is not remotely close to the end of the world if I do not buy a deck of playing cards, nor was I 'camped' in front of my PC, but I did float in and out rather too frequently and in some unorthodox hours to keep checking. If I recollect aren't you the guy that risks paying rent and food on the table at times to purchase 'end of the word playing cards'? Your hypocrisy seems to know no bounds.

I completely agree with the absolute perspective of personal life and things unknown taking over. Pretty sure PR dept could have taken care of that though; there are absolute expectations amongst supporters; rightly or wrongly.
Personally (and I am International  - time difference), the thought of people like me sitting around with their (unsocial) time petering away watching (sad I know), when life time is as precious as it is, to no avail without so much as an explanation is, to use the Queens Good English 'Utter Crap'. I apologise to all of you whom I offend with my pissed off honesty. Fizzing.
