what im getting for DOTM

[vmagic]

So... Ready?
So Far, the decks have been:
The values are written next to them. Plz correct me if I am wrong.

October: 1st eddition arccos - 10$
November: Arrco US Regulation Blue Seal (OHIO) - 10$
December: Tungstene - 35$
January: Smoke and Mirror v6 - 10$
February: Bee Squeezers - 5$
March: 1st edition Split Spades Blue - 15$
April: Cambric Finish Premium Gold Bee - 5$
May: A. Bandit Deck - 15$

I was really hoping for the MC v2 deck but... Maybe next month!

Yeah keep dreaming! So far they've given you mostly fairly standard decks of cards aside from the Tungstene and you think they'll give you a MC deck? I'm sure they'll throw some in their next brick sets but probably not for this.

March: 1st edition Split Spades Blue - 15$

So, are these the Tally-Ho Split Spades in the black box, or are they the Split Spades Lions which are marked "1st Edition" on the bottom of the box?

So, are these the Tally-Ho Split Spades in the black box, or are they the Split Spades Lions which are marked "1st Edition" on the bottom of the box?

This are the ones that say 1st Edition on the bottom: the less rare ones of 'em all.

Yeah keep dreaming! So far they've given you mostly fairly standard decks of cards aside from the Tungstene and you think they'll give you a MC deck? I'm sure they'll throw some in their next brick sets but probably not for this.

Wait and see. They only sold for 8$ and are now worth 20-25$ on the aftermarket. They've already given some of their decks worth more than that.

Nice pics! I kept mine in the bubble wrapping because I just made a trade with a user on these forums and I am sending the A. Bandit Deck as one of them.

So. Here comes!

March: 1st edition Split Spades Blue - 15$
April: Cambric Finish Premium Gold Bee - 5$
May: A. Bandit Deck - 15$
June: Aristocrat Reprints (T11) - 5$

So I'm pretty much seeing the pattern. It's a cheap deck, followed by a rarer one, and so on. So next month should be a deck worth about 10-15$.
Seams like a deal!

The Aristocrat reprints aren't a T11 release - just like the plain Bikes, Bees and Tallys, they're a USPC release and T11 just sells them.  Awesome cards, though - among my favorites for a poker game.

[NathanCanadas]

Oh wow! I didn't know that! Good to know! Their cool cards, and although they aren't the rarest, I'm not complaining cuz it seems like there's a pattern going on: rare, not rare, rare, not rare.

[Don Boyer]

While in the end, you're likely to make out OK, I think I still wouldn't join DOTM.  Every other deck being a "clunker" in terms of value doesn't sound all that great.

I guess it depends on your opinion. Since I stopped buying decks recently (need to save up to help out with high school funds), I'm glad to get a "new" deck once a month. I guess the decks will be newer once T11 and D&D start releasing decks again.

[lordlupus]

I am certainly not signing up for DOTM once my current one expires.

I had the impression that I am getting newly launched decks from D&D or at least T11 (due to their relationship) when I signed up and all I have gotten were not up to my expectation.

Where are the Plaid or FCJ or Chinatown?? I don't even mind Charity Water. I am not talking about expecting a MC2.

Bee Squeezers? Gold Bee? A.Bandit???

They introduced a buttload of decks since DOTM started, D&D more so than T11.  Maybe you'll get those you haven't already received in a few months.

[NathanCanadas]

Ya. But I joined in March, and the only decks released by D&D and T11 since then if I am not mistaken are the MC v2 and the White Monarchs. They could have given us previous releases though.

...and you may still get them.  I mean, if they're giving out gold-box Bees, perhaps you'll get that oh-so-rare deck-to-beat-all-decks, a red Bicycle Rider Back with a black seal, made in Kentucky!

Totally agree with you. But that's kinda the disadvantage of this whole idea. You give them their money immediately and in exchange regularly get some good and not-so-good decks. You get a good surprise once a month though.
And I'm still waiting on those Studs and Aviators

Which Studs and Aviators?  Don't tell me D&D is selling Aviators now...

(checks the webiverse)

Damn.  I vaguely remember them doing that.  Even their really cheap decks aren't that cheap!

I guess their prices are ok. They're pretty close to the price you are looking at to buy the same decks at Walgreens or Walmart.

Not where I live.  A pack of Studs with tax is under $3 at Walgreens, and D&D charge for shipping.


Aviators are another story - they're mostly sold out of airports.  NOTHING is cheap in airports.  Even the price of breathing goes up...


Walmart doesn't carry either brand in my area, though they do have Streamlines for a buck, as well as their famed custom-boxed two-deck sets of Bikes...

[NathanCanadas]

In most stores where I live, bikes, Studs, Aviators, Bees etc. are between 3.5 and 4.5$ w/o tax. Of course, because of shipping, on D&D you'll have to pay more, but that's obvious.
Anyways, getting back on track. Here are some ideas of mine for decks to come (perhaps) in future DOTM:
- MC v2
- Dragon Backs (LOL)
- T11 Rebels (when they come out)
- S&M v7 (in a little while)
- Fulton's CJ/Chinatown
- Vintage Plaids
- Robocycle?
...
What do you think? I joined DOTM hoping I would receive custom decks, not decks designed by USPCC...

I agree with these 3.

- S&M v7 (in a little while)
- Fulton's CJ/Chinatown

What about for the rarer decks? I guess S&M v7 count as one, but what do you think they will include as the deck worth 10-15+$?

[Don Boyer]

Here's my take on that list:

- MC v2
Maybe.  Maybe not.  Tough call.  They're pretty rare.  It's a strong possibility, but not a certainty.

- Dragon Backs (LOL)
Nope.  Too inexpensive and not known for their performance characteristics.

- T11 Rebels (when they come out)
Almost a sure thing.

- S&M v7 (in a little while)
Almost a sure thing.  I'd be shocked if they didn't include it.

- Fulton's CJ/Chinatown
Maybe, maybe not.  I guess it depends on just how long it takes them to sell them out.  And remember that the Chinatown deck was likely their shortest run of a generally-available deck (this doesn't count either MC deck, nor does it count decks made by other companies/people).

- Vintage Plaids
Practically a sure thing.  Some love them, some hate them, but they seem to be mostly popular.

- Robocycle?
Take everything I said about the Dragon Backs, and add "and they're kinda ugly" to it.  Not USPC's most popular deck.

There are other possibles...

T11 Monarchs - they already sell them.  Don't hold you breath on the white ones, though!

T11 Sentinels - recently reprinted and back in stock.

T11 Bee Stingers - Ohio originals or Kentucky reprints.

T11 Propaganda - either the original Ohio decks, the Kentucky reprints or the "version 2" they mentioned was in development (though that was so long ago, it might be off the production calendar).

T11 Platinum anything

Arrco Tahoe blue and red reprints - this is a highly possible deck, since it wasn't terrifically expensive.  Even the black and inverted black Tahoes are a possibility.

Some uncanceled casino deck (NOT JERRY'S NUGGET!)  Well, actually, there are other Jerry's Nugget decks - the actual casino issue, as opposed to the gift shop version.

Fulton's Clip Joint (yawn)

Yawn, indeed.  Perhaps the next one will be an improvement.


Anyone want to take a stab at guessing?  I'm too bored to bother...
