That's it - I thought the Tallys were in both colors!


It's cool - I love me my Tallys and I just got some of the blue in the mail today.  The real trick would be getting the Maeda versions, in red and LIGHT blue (and not needing a bank loan to do it)!

Are there gold-trimmed Tallies in blue as well? I honestly thought they only came in red.

Also, for those of you wondering about Kpop's issue, I accidentally sent him two signed cards instead of one, so he got an extra little bonus in his package if you can call it that.  :)

The gold trimmed Tallys come in four versions: there's red and blue for US sale, and red and light blue made especially for Maeda with a custom joker.  The light blue looks awesome, but the Maeda models are VERY expensive here, light blue in particular.  While Bikes are commonly found in different colors, Tallys aren't usually seen in more than red and blue (and black, in magic shops).

Gang, just an FYI - there's an item Alex is selling that will be going out of print very soon.

Ellusionist is ceasing production on the Tally Ho Viper Fan Backs (the all-silver model, no red pips).  That was the deck I got a brick of from Jason Brumbalow last year as a donation to the kids I entertain at the hospital.

If you want them, get them now before they become a collector's item.  They're all UV-500 Air Flow.

As far as I know, just that one.  I'm assuming the all-silver version didn't sell as well since it's a less-practical deck, despite having a lovely appearance making it cool to flourish.  I think they're also killing off the all-white Black Tigers for much the same reason.  I remember seeing it posted in an article on their blog about a half-year ago when they were discussing what decks were still available in the old UV500 format.  Those two were listed as still available, but not to be replaced by Air Cushion or Performance Coating - they were ceasing production on them.

Okay cool! Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't sure if the deck was going to be entirely cut from production or just the color haha. Glad I got that one cleared up. I figured it was the same as the black tigers, but I wasn't sure.

Update: I added two new decks to the shop. The Cartamundi Marlboro decks are extremely hard to find and are absolutely gorgeous. They come wrapped in cellophane and have a very unique one-way back design and a very slick and durable tuck box. The 1980s Marlboro Texan decks are very rare and out of print. They have a very unique and amazing smooth finish on them that is identical to the one on the Virginia Slims, however these are printed on a thicker stock.

Now, to address your question Frost:

First off, it has only been a couple days since you made the payment, not seven. Second of all, spamming all my inboxes with the same message over and over again makes me ignore you longer so I can address the emails of people who have common courtesy and respect (it takes time to go through each one of your 30 or so messages).

Finally, I ship out orders every Friday and update tracking numbers throughout the weekend.

I'm making a humble request, Frost, that you cease spamming my inbox on here, my email, and my Facebook. I'm a one-man-army doing this all on my own, and having to go through all of your messages that are duplicates of one another wastes a lot of my time that I could spend more productively for AetherCards. Furthermore, I responded to your question twice through other outlets and you continue to spam me with the same question.

You send me your first "I payed seven days ago" message about three days after you payed. What are you getting worried about? I ship loads of packages every week with no issues so far, and all of a sudden I choose to scam you out of a small purchase? Do you honestly think I would trade in my reputation, business and relationships for an extra $30?

My problem isn't your worry, it's how you handle it. I have at least 10 PMs on this forum from you, several emails, and Facebook messages as well as posts on the board.

Frost, stop for a second.

Breathe.  Inhale deeply, then let it all out.

In this deal, you have no reason to fear.  Alex has proved his trading reliability over and over, and you are not getting ripped off.  He's one guy, and the playing card store isn't the only thing he's got going on at the moment.

Alex answered you in a public forum because you chose to bring the issue up in the same public forum.  If you want something to stay private, don't post it for the world to see.

It can be difficult for someone who is young, but be patient.  Your patience will be rewarded.  I'm not so young and I still have difficulty at times being patient, but I strive to get better with each opportunity.  This is your opportunity.  Strive.

And lay off the keyboard for a while.  That can't be good for your wrists.

Now smile, and remain calm.  :))

Frost, I welcome people messaging me, and if I exclude you, I have to go through at least 25 messages a day from various customers and the like. In the future, feel free to message me about anything, but when you message me the same thing over 15 times in the span of two days, I will simply ignore you while I deal with more respectful people who deserve a prompt reply.

And like Don said, I posted this publicly because you brought it up here. I would prefer people not think I am scamming members when so far 100% of the people that bought items here have been generally satisfied.

can you give me some information on the black golden nugget deck?
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.
