Awesome deck. Definitely picking one up.

The tilt is strong with this one. Great collection, definitely a lot of stuff that I'd like to fill my shopping bag with  .
How is the Derren Brown set? I'm eyeballing it like forever but ultimately the tuckboxes look too cheap for me to justify the price tag. I love the idea though and the cards plus the box itself look very nice and well executed.

Haha, thanks. At least the image seems to orientate itself correctly when clicked on (for me at at least). In general I am quite pleased with the Derren Brown set. I have not cracked either of the decks open but I am very happy with the look of the set, adds some nice character to the display. The set is definitely one people (non playing card collectors) notice and comment on when they see my collection. For me, I think the deck by itself is nice, but I felt like I needed the whole package to really make it a nice addition to my collection.

I have put up an auction for a signed pair of decks from the original Federal 52 kickstarter. Both decks are signed on the tuck but have the majority of the cellophane remaining in order to protect the signatures.

Please remove

Thanks Don,

I actually have a half brick of them on the way. I was disappointed about missing the kickstarter, completely did not realize that was going on. Super excited to receive those but I will keep an eye of for some originals, just a nice piece to add to the collection.

Auction is over, please lock.

I'm also want to get one EMP Monarchs and 144 limited Blue Gold Monarchs to be come a full set.

Good Luck

Thanks!  The person I was helping find a deck actually found an open deck for sale!  A new deck also sold last month for $360 iirc.  Those Blue Gold Monarchs are a tricky one.  If you ever find one sealed, I would be very cautious.  There is no way whatsoever to tell the difference between the 144 OG Monarchs and regular Blue Monarchs.  Still, an open deck of those are still the freaking T11 Unicorn. Lol

Actually, I was told there's exactly one way to tell the difference between the rare 144 Monarchs and the original wide-release Monarchs.  I was told that the cellophane is reversed on the 144, so the tear strip goes in the other direction from standard - but don't quote me on that, because I've never actually seen a pack personally to know for certain.

That’s really interesting!  It could be true, but like you said we’ve never fondled them so we wouldn’t know lol.  One of T11’s execs handles comms on their forums, and he’s said a few times there’s no way to tell them apart.  But I feel like true card nerds like us could find a difference, and that’s exactly what your info is.  I wish we could know!!!

Back in the day I was fortunate enough to snag 3 of the original 111 that went on pre-sale. I only have one now (the older me regrets selling the other two), but have attached some photos to look at if you are interested. I have not spent a lot of time in the card collecting community over the past while so I am unsure of what (if any) differences they may be on the package. Granted you'll have to take my word for it but I have also included my order record from T11 on pre-release day (minus editing out my home address). If there is a better angle I can take, just let me know and I will try to do that ASAP.

Cheers,
Curt

Thanks for the heads up Don,

I didn't actually think about the shallowness of the cut, makes sense though. I may actually pick one of the D&D one up some day to play around with then.

I see Dota 2 and TI4 

Haha yeah. Unfortunately I didn't go to TI4... one of my friends who makes a living streaming on twitch tv got the mousepad for me. I was pretty lucky she was heading down so I gave that to her to try and get signed.... hopefully I can make it next year if it's still in Seattle. I watch much more pro Dota 2 than actually play it, pro games are so much more entertaining than playing with dumb pubs.

You guys have some cool hobbies 

I am also into some sports here and there, mostly winter sports though. I live about an hour away from a decent sized ski hill so I tend to get up there as much as possible during the winter. I am also a 4th year finance student... so watching stocks kind of counts as a hobby. Building PC's has been  something I've always been interested in as well, been building them since I was 14. Naturally when having a liking for something computer related.... I also enjoy the odd video game here and there if I can get time off from work and school. :p

Website design and a bit of graphic work has been a hobby of mine for the past few years... building websites has actually carried me financially through some of my summers between semesters. You can check out my hobbies a bit more if you're interested.. I have a website now for myself.
