i love the back design .. but i think the v1 - v3 look nicer but compare to v4 v5 v6 v7 this look way better !! i thought that is no such thing as tally ho stock .. i watched a deck review on the tally ho and the person say there is no such stock as tally ho stock .. the stock it uses is the bicycle stock .. let me try to find the review for you all i might be bad though ..

My info on the stock comes from a designer who's worked with USPC.  If anyone knows, he does.

Lalita - if you find that deck, I'm down for a few packs!  It would be one of those Holy Grail decks, impossible to find anywhere in no time flat.

Ah, whoops.  Sorry, ladies!  Lalita/Phantom was at the top of my head because of the big trade we're completing.

A thought just occurred to me - USPC doesn't print squat unless they know the designer has clear rights to the artwork. This can't be a USPC deck if there's some discrepancy about the ownership of Si Scott's art.

They are by the same designer (S&M 1~3 and Spar)! It says on the side of the box.
 
It's funny how the designer just change the words and do minor changes to make it a "new" design for someone else.

next thing we know, T11 or E could hire him and we could possible get a similar design with different word on it.

Did you read the earlier posts (or were they removed)?  There were some email exchanges with Si Scott, in which Si claimed that the deal to use his designs for this deck wasn't finalized due to his recent hospitalization, but that it appears that Chen's people went ahead and printed the deck anyway.  Since USPC goes through a process of verification regarding intellectual property rights, I can't see this as being a USPC deck unless the Si Scott information is totally wrong.

There's something not entirely right going on here, one way or another.

I didn't see any post regarding the email. I might have missed it. Anyone wants to expand on that??
If what the email say is true. Does it mean this would be "illegally" produce? or It can still be okay since Si Scott's name is mention and still credited?

Well it looks like the posts were yanked by their author.  The posts mentioned that there were negotiations under way, Si Scott hadn't completed them, had to go to the hospital for surgery, and that now they're already on the market despite there being no final agreement in place.  So yes, if they're indeed out there (and they appear to be), they were produced illegally.  This of course assumes that everything said about the agreement and the communications with Si Scott was factual.  I wasn't in the room, so I couldn't tell you for sure...

So no one has any luck with these cards yet. I read on weibo(china's twitter) that some magicians have already received them from Lu Chen as a gift. Lu Chen even wrote that even Lee Asher was asking him how he could get his hands on some as Asher's friends have been asking Asher. Looks like this is really hot stuff.

I know Lee just returned from China recently.  I'll have to ask him about that.

I don't see what the big deal is with these. They don't look like anything spectacular to me and they may have been printed illegally to top it off, not to mention how hard they are to find. Sorry I just don't see the interest, I certainly don't have any at the moment and i'm usually the first to get a new deck once it comes out.

Latest news from kete moon's blog: Lu Chen will be seeling these at the hong kong stop of his magic tour. One ticket is only allowed to buy one. And one 2000 will be sold there. So it's a while stocks last.

I don't think the equivalent is mcv2 but the white lions because it was meant for his own personal use and not to commemorate a convention. Speaking of which I would have hoped that he did something like what db and dnd did. Which is to sell some of them online and not at a convention.

Really?  We would never have know this if you hadn't told us, Hawjinjian!  We're so grateful to have someone like you here to tell us obvious facts!  I super happy!!!

Was there anything you wanted to ADD to your statement of obvious fact, or was this tidbit of information for those Discourse members who are "clickthrough-challenged" and have difficulty opening a link to an eBay auction?

Forgive my attitude, but I like my conversations to have more substance to them.  We all know they're expensive, bro - we can read, too!
