Hey guys, long time no see!

I am no longer as serious about selling playing cards as I used to be, so after I get rid of some "leftovers" I think I'm going to be done (at least for now). Check out my eBay page for your chance to bid on the last of my collection, including White Monarchs and Blue Fontaines. All decks start at $0.99!

Hey gang, it's been a while since I've sold anything on eBay, but I'm back with a few decks and flourishing DVDs which are great for beginners! You can check out everything I have for sale here:

I'll re-edit your title so people know you're not "in the running."  Let us know if you change your mind.

Ah yea forgot about that, thanks

Okay so does the image I already posted look alright in terms of how it is presented, or should it be in some sort of other format? Can you tell me what a "complete design" would entail? Obviously I know I need to show off the backs and faces, but does it all need to be laid out in the way it will be printed, or what? I have no idea how this works haha

Have you read the rules yet?  It's all detailed there.  Was there something specific you needed to know beyond that?

Ahh, I haven't actually read the rules... that would probably be a good idea at this point lol

Thanks, Don.

have you/are you going to submit this? I really like this back design.

Ehhh, I mean probably, just because I haven't seen many other submissions so I might actually have a chance lol

Something I started working on a long time ago and may end up coming back to for this contest. Thoughts?

It reminds me of a car logo.  Are you entering this into the contest?

Yup, I was thinking of entering it! And I'm not sure how to take that haha

Take it well.  Most car logos are created with a near-scientific precision in order to evoke the proper mood for the brand.

I like the shade of green you used.    The design is interesting. What is it?

Thanks original name was "the Anarchy deck" but I might change it.

It's got an "A" in a curve - and that's where the similarity to anarchy ends!  I could see you making a deck themed to look like a promotional giveaway for some fictional 1960s car brand!  You could have a lot of fun playing with that idea.

If you opt to make this for the contest, add this tag to the beginning of your title: (DDDC).

Well in that case thanks! And yes, it doesn't actually have much to do with anarchy aside from the "A" haha. My original idea from a few years ago was to create a deck where each court card featured a different theme or gimmick relating to anarchy (so lots of guns and weapons and whatnot; the idea doesn't appeal to me so much anymore). I created this back design using my limited skills and although I am proud of what I accomplished, I agree that it doesn't give off a very anarchic feel.

Semi-related note/question: Don, you compared this design to the "near-scientific precision" of a car logo (which is a huge compliment, thank you). However, in terms of making everything perfectly symmetrical, I am sort of lost... I created this design in Photoshop and looking back on it, I probably should have used Illustrator because now I am finding it difficult to make everything symmetrical (especially with all the different layers - it makes things confusing). To show what I mean, I flattened the image to a jpeg, copied the design, made it translucent and rotated it 180 degrees on itself; as you can see, some parts line up (such as the small green circles near the center) but most of the other geometry is slightly off. Anyone who is good at graphic design - what is the best way to fix this? Any help or tips would be much appreciated!

Hi folks,

It's been a while, but I finally have a few new listings on eBay. This week I've put up auctions for an English Laundry deck, a couple DVDs (Kaos by Daniel Garcia and Tagged by Richard Ferguson), and an Ultragaff deck + Volume 2 of the training DVDs. Check it out!

John, I recommend posting some card faces for that College Humor deck - you mentioned that the deck was opened but new, so you could generate more interest in it by letting people see the face art.

I actually listed it once before showing a few faces (with no bids), but my theory is actually that if I don't show any faces people might buy it so they CAN see the faces haha. Incidentally, the faces are very lame. In any case, it's a pretty crappy deck that I'd expect to get $0.99 for. If no one bids on it I might just end up giving it to a friend. But thanks for the advice anyway!
