Playing Card Plethora / Re: Black Madison Dealers (limited)

From what I understand these are not even being given out to his friends, it is strictly E promotion.
Madison gives out blue and scarlet rounders and is barely seen using dealers apparently

Playing Card Plethora / Re: New Virts offerings

Guys I'm really sorry about this
I made a bad decision posting this and I'm going to take a break from the forums for a bit.

I have a tough time fitting in with anything or anyone so when I realised no-one had posted this I decided it would be an opportunity to start up discussion on both the old and the new virts decks.
I can see this might not have been the greatest judgement and I am sorry for those I have offended or upset with this.

Talk to you all in the new year

Whoa looks like I'm not popular for this one!
I didn't mean to cause a big upset over this, I wanted to tell everyone in-case they didn't get the email :')
It's a crazy rep drop for the and Don I am sorry for posting this :)

Well I'm always up for this!
Need some new decks, just got some brown rounders, LTD and a red artifice uncut off of E and it's set me back a large chunk, would love something like this to help save a bit :)

Well, since I'm from Charleston - and live here now, I decided I'd give them a call and find out.  The answer is exactly as everyone has posted already: they are an 'incentive', not for sale.  To get a deck, you have to spend $100 in one visit, it's not a cumulative thing with a tally card or something.  Simple enough - take the wife and a couple of friends and $25 each wouldn't even be a challenge, although the prices are very reasonable.  The reason I never connected the deck with the restaurant here is that they changed the name a few years ago (apparently 6 or 7 now, from what I read) and bought what used to be "Big John's" downtown.  Right on the upper King Street "tourist trap" area near the visitors center, not even a challenge.  I've got one, but I'll soon have another, and if they are worth a darn, I'll pick up a few over the next couple of months, maybe drop a couple on the board here when I get my post count up.
If you're picking up a few over a few months then I'll be keeping an eye on your posts, as long as they aren't extortionately priced I'm in the market for a deck :)

This to me seems to be a worthwhile club, I wanted to join but they've shut down international orders so I can't :(
With some of these decks being ones I can't get in the UK at all it would be fantastic :)
Getting the fulton decks on release also seems pretty cool

Very nice - but why no picture with Anne herself?  :))  Sounds like you had a golden opportunity.
I really don't know why I didn't!
Then again I was dressed like this:

Took ages to get off so I probably decided to give it a miss :')

Just got a copy in the UK!
It's really good :) Certain things are a little more disappointing than others but I liked the idea of going from a spike roulette to needle through hand :'D
A few did feel a bit too staged but all the stuff with Bryan and Aaron was fantastic :'D Really fun to watch Aaron squirm

I'm ashamed of how I titled this thread, after the recent deck releases I thought it would be as bad, these though have been tastefully shown off so far!
I will be getting one of these to complete my monarch collection (obviously not the gold monarchs) but I have white, silver and normal :)

Backed for two as they are damned cheap Early-Bird with international!
Happy with this, £12 for two decks of not bad looking decks!

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Whether to open decks or not

I would say that here and eBay are probably your best bets with regards to selling. If you're having problems selling at the price you currently have them at, consider including 'Or Nearest Offer'  on forums/sales ads; or 'Make An Offer' on eBay. Allows you to let people who are definitely interested make an offer a slightly lower price. If you're happy with what they offer, accept it, you'll both feel good.

Alternatively, if there are any Collectors' Fairs which take place within your local area, or a comfortable travel distance away, you could always try there. Trader tables are usually cheap or free (at least the couple near me are).
Thanks for the advice :')
I've tried both starting at ridiculously low prices, I barely cover the cost to get them (I live in the UK so no trading things happen here). We have to pay extortionate customs fees (£8 plus 20% of the price) so getting more than one deck can end up costing a lot.
It seems the market isn't doing too well for cards, I used to sell on eBay with decks not nearly as rare and they went for more than what I'm offering stuff for :')
I might just sell it in bulk really cheap to someone

Hey guys, I am  reviving a mostly dead topic here but I have hit an issue :)
You guys recommended selling decks, I am trying desperately to sell a load of them as I have reached a hard time (shoes or keep sealed decks).
So you have any recommendations as to where to sell? I tried our Sales/Trades?Isos but got nothing, trying eBay and got nothing :')
