hey, just wanted to know if any of your sharpie the edges of any of your black decks, I've watched a couple of videos and they say they have, just wanted to know if any of you do to.

I did that on a few of my black decks, they appearance looks better, but at angles, you can see the Sharpie staining. It makes the edges a lot smoother. It's up to you if you want to Sharpie your decks!

I did it to a shadow masters deck. One card at a time, letting them dry seperately. They look AMAZING!

Its a pain to do it one card at a time but its worth it. The deck looks better. Ive used black sharpie but I actually used purple sharpie on one of my Black Arcane decks and it looks pretty cool. Im curious to see what silver sharpie would look like on a black deck

I have a couple of other decks I've done this to as well. I just like the way it looks.

If you are going to do it.. do it ONE card at a time, and let each one dry individually

I'll post pics of the Moth Myth deck I did this to later

Would sharpieing make the sides sticky?

CBJ · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:43:54 PM »

Mine are not sticky at all.

I used a REAL Sharpie, and not a dollar store marker, and I made sure I did each card.. one at a time. I can not emphasize that enough.

LauR · « **Reply #11 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:45:19 PM »

Oh ok thats cool, I just thought it might make it sticky and affect the springs and spread more. Does it leave any black stains on your hands if you handle them after they've dried?

CBJ · « **Reply #12 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:48:24 PM »

Maybe just a little bit at first. I just tried rubbing these on my hands,,, and nothing.

Of course, I did this to these decks almost 2 years ago.

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #13 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:51:36 PM »

and they are still perfect?

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:52:29 PM »

Wow, those look amazing - how did you get ALL of them evenly coated - I tried, but at least some on mine didn't run out right!

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:53:42 PM »

he did it ONE AT A TIME, did you do that? and would it be a good idea to sharpie them right out of the box?

I don't handle my cards. That was probably the first time I've opened those decks in over a year.

And, it's VERY rare I open any new decks. I think the last deck I opened was Fantastique because I wanted to see the animation. But I would say out of the last 100 decks I've purchased, I've opened 3.

I took my time.

Grabbed a TV table, turned the tv on, and went at it.

Haven't done it in a while, but I'm pretty sure it takes me about 30-40 minutes

I sharpie-ed a black deck with a red sharpie and it looks SICK

Does it change your deck's handling?
I would like to try, but I don't want to ruin my decks.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #20 on:** December 17, 2011, 02:46:17 AM »

I did it to a Black Ghost 2nd Ed. deck earlier this year, because the edge chipping was making them look awful. I found that "Marks-A-Lot" brand comes out darker than Sharpie in black. I even tried pressing the edge into an ink pad for some, but Marks-A-Lot beat those as well.

Initially, I was getting black staining on my hands when using the deck. Eventually this stopped, and the magic marker smell diminished without actually going away completely. After some use, the edges are still better looking than before but could probably use a little touching up - they aren't as nice as when they were first markered up.

nice the idea is by cardsrfun right ?? i try it on my viper tally ho and shadow masters both fail the ink stain the front and they stick together so when i put out they will tear .. but if you do a card by a card there should not be any problem

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:12:09 PM »

just sharpied my black tiger, and i didn't use a normal sharpie, it works and dries faster if you use a thing called "Sharpie, Rub-a-Dub, Laundry Marker"

Lushbob · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:17:50 PM »

I like the sound of Sharpie-ing a black deck with red / purple. Can anyone post some pictures?

It's not really from cardsrfun, I believe that E published a Ebook with that method a while ago.
