Yeah how much are they worth? I can't find any new ones for sale on ebay

are you talking about the vintage ones or the replicas?

i wouldn't think the new ones would cost more than $10 per piece, though i'm not sure why they aren't available ebay.

Yeah I did a quick google search and I didn't find much. There was a lot of information about the deck and its history, but I couldn't find prices. I'm sure somebody on here has purchased some of these and will be able to update us on the price and all.

I would be guessing that the newer ones wouldn't be that much, but the vintage ones are probably highly expensive

I have a deck of the ones I think your talking about (not vintage) and I agree they are becoming hard to come by, I'm guessing it's because they are from the old Ohio factory and I dont believe the Kentucky factory has printed any so maybe they'll be the last we see of them.

These stopped manufacturing in 2009 when USPCC moved their plant to Kentucky. They go for $10-15 per deck depending on who you ask.

Yeah, they're all sold but I've heard rumours of a reprint at some stage. Well, I think it's just going by what the USPCC usually does when a regular deck goes out of print (wait a while, then bring it back).

VortexHead · « **Reply #8 on:** January 29, 2012, 04:08:56 PM »

If they do reprint them my only concern is they wont use the same stock and finish.

Just found a store in the uk selling these and picked some up for myself, £4 per deck or $6.30 roughly, I dont know how much int shipping would be though and they only have red in stock. Cant find them anywhere else on the net so I'm pretty pleased. They only have 2 left in stock according to the site so if your interested go get them..... here's the link:

No! The most important part is missing! D:
Would you mind posting the link again? xD Or, is it bicycleplayingcardsupplies.com ? Because I've been looking for a while for some UK sites stocking them, and I think that's the only one I can find.

Sorry, yeah it's those, they only have 2 left though.

VortexHead · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2012, 07:02:18 PM »

Just a heads up, these have sold out now. Maybe check back now and again if your interested.

Kanped · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2012, 07:10:48 PM »

They're totally out of print. Gutted I missed that. I guess it'll be eBay but even that's slim pickings now. I wonder why that site never came up on google?

Incidentally, had a look around Google (no luck BTW) but this is interesting. Looks like D&D took some inspiration from these;

Not sure why, although it did take me ages to find a site that actually had them in stock. If I come across anymore I'll be sure to post it here.

Nice find, the AOS looks alot nicer on the ones you've found, I haven't got my Plaid decks yet but the AOS isn't at all cutom.

I believe someone is selling them at UC. He is from the US so shipping is cheaper, he sell them for about 10$ the same w/ Kardwell.com maybe cheaper if you ask him for a discount. Really nice guy. I vouch for him.

Except, I'm in the UK

. Shipping is still expensive, though. I ordered 4 decks and shipping was more than I paid to ship 4 decks to Don on New York, which is ridiculous but whatever the price is OK.

Get them from the amazon.co.uk seller - and get me two of each color; we can trade again!

They only have blue. I can throw you a deck, you can probably talk me into letting you have 2 because you've got some lovely stuff.

VortexHead · « **Reply #21 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:32:24 PM »

Only the one left on Amazon, you buy 8 of them

Sounds like a plan, man! PM me when you get them and we'll work out a trade.
