@Sabacc - When I quoted the Lions, I was just shortening the name for the entire variety box. When I said the Lions, I was referring to the White Lions (Red & Blue), the Split Spades (Lions), and just about everything else in the box. My point was that if the variety box and the Black Crowns were numbered and priced the same, I'd say the boxes would have sold out faster. Sorry for the misconception.
Gang, I have a question for you...
Have you ever seen the phrase "David Blaine Variety Box" abbreviated as "Lions"? Anywhere? At any time, present, past or future? Except from KPop, naturally...
KPop, you're trying to compare nearly a dozen different decks of wildly varying value and rarity to a single deck release of a known value and rarity from another company. And using abbreviations that no one else is familiar with, thus rendering the point of using an abbreviation useless. And stating that had your suggested conditions been met, the Variety Boxes would have sold faster than the Black Crowns - when they already did...
Forgive me if this makes absolutely no sense to me. Or at least no more sense than me telling you that if the oranges were apple-shaped, banana-colored and sold using pink Hyundai Excels and Bic pens at the cocktail operation under the baboon house for ten lemon-flavored truguts each, I'd be able to triple my depreciation AND be left holding a Royal Fizzbin. Excelsior! So get out there, kick the tires, light the candles and roll the pig in margarine shrapnel, OK? Happy Renaissance and never mind the bollocks. Baka ne! Fierfek! Oh, frak... Hide the skifter! We're still ululating blue milk under the YT-1300. Gesundheit.
That's EXACTLY how clear and understandable many of your statements are.

Now, on to a real topic of discussion...
Regarding the "rainbow" series White Lions, here's what we know:
There are three models known so far, all packaged in White Lions Series A Red boxes:
1) the red WLs
2) the purple WLs, likely with varying shades since it appears to be done during the transition between blue and red backs on the press, and
2) the blue WLs printed on UV stock.
Models 1) and 2) were sold with the AIP bottle. The AIP contained 1), while the box it came with had 1) and an autographed 2).
The Variety Box was sold with 1) and 3). One of these models is mentioned to have a black marker dot on the deck seal. If forced to guess, I'd say it was 3), but I don't know.
Until we see 1) from the AIP set and 1) and 3) from the Variety Box all together, we won't know which ones are 1) and which remaining one is 3).
2) is easily identified, since it's signed - unless Blaine signed either of the Rainbow WLs from the Variety Box. But that doesn't appear to be the case or someone (like MagicAddictz) would have said something.
Sound about right, people?
