The hanging case? Are you kidding? How would we know? Ask Jamie Grant, he tweeted it!

It looks like an old-style lantern.

The "value of art" debate is always amusing. It boils down to two principles, which are universal to value discussions but perhaps most appropriate and poignant with art"

An item is worth what someone will pay for it
If you find art is overpriced, you are free to make your own

Basically, if you don't want to pay $300 for an AIP bottle, you can make your own for just a few bucks! So that should solve the problem, right?

Don Boyer · « **Reply #28 on:** January 30, 2012, 11:27:19 PM »

Sure - if you have the necessary skills and time to make it.

To be more accurate, if you can't afford a piece of art that you do actually want, you live without it, or you settle for a photograph, replica, reproduction, etc. The AIPs are valued at the point they are because people are willing to pay that much and the artist wants fair compensation for his time, effort and expense. If you want to haggle over it, go to a flea market or bid on eBay.

Let's face it - practically everyone here who was knocking the piece on price would sleep with a pig (or something similar) if it meant getting one for free... They want them. (Y'know, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?")

man that looks so sick!! I know many people don't like anything about the Monarchs except for the box and the box looks great in an AIP! So majestic

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one soon! I think I remember seeing an Infinity deck on Jamie work table when he posted a picture of all the decks he had coming up. It looked like he had a solid line up of decks to get AIPed

xZEROx · « **Reply #33 on:** February 08, 2012, 04:51:05 PM »

lol AIPed. I'm pretty sure Jamie keeps a bottle for himself for every deck AIPed. Man how I wish to see his shelf of bottles!

Evan · « **Reply #34 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:23:23 PM »

I found the link early so here it is!
They are for sale: http://www.theory11.com/gear/monarch-impossible-bottle.php

Only 50 were made! Thats crazy..... those are going to go way up in value so definitely pick them up fast.

Man, I'm sitting with this in the checkout along with a few other T11 decks I don't have and I'm torn between whether to buy it or not.

Something tells me that's an indication that I probably shouldn't buy it.

I don't know your current financial situation, but monarchs are probably the best deck to own in an AIP bottle. The box is beautiful and you can't see how disappointing the backs are unless you break the glass. JMO

Evan · « **Reply #37 on:** March 16, 2012, 05:05:41 PM »

There are only 5 of them left in stock! Grab em' quick!

Nathan brought up a good point... not only is it rare... its beautiful too! Most collectors would want this to display with their collections.

I went for it in the end. I really like the Monarch box and can see this having pride of place on my desk. Hopefully to cause people to be intruigued and ask questions (other than, "how much did that cost?" from my fiancée). The fact that it is the same price as the standard Bicycle AIP bottles was a good way to sway me too.

I picked up a few of the other decks that T11 sell that are difficult to get here in UK too and applied the one-time-only 15% discount.

I picked one up as well with my first purchase of some charity water decks. After I placed my order I went back to see how many they had left and it only said 1 left. Good luck to whoever snags it!

It doesn't seem like the last buyer needs much luck! It's been about an hour and a half and there's still one stubborn bottle remaining!

Knobz1 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 16, 2012, 08:18:44 PM »

Wow. That's pretty weird if I don't say so myself. Went from 50 down to 1 in no time and has been sitting at 1 left for over an hour.

There appears to be a glitch at work now on the site. You can "order" one and put it into your cart, but when you click to either review your cart or check out, it vanishes.

The world's first AIP invisible deck!

i dont think anyone will buy it more than $200

jmrock · « **Reply #49 on:** March 17, 2012, 11:41:07 PM »

I didn't buy it for the $100... Actually I approached the guy about doing a vintage deck in a bottle... I thought it would look great and really fit the deck and the overall look... I sent the character a number of emails and he never returned any of them... It must be nice to be independently wealthy and not need to work...
