My bad, Don. Must have overlooked the pics you posted.

Everything Don was is correct. Tis only but a different stock, everything else is a normal White Lion in a Red tuck. However...limited as hell, so I'm good with it :t11:

Don't sweat it - your pictures looked cooler!

But honestly, Siegismyname - what were you expecting?  What did you think was going to be different between a blue deck, a red deck and a purple deck?

I was thinking maybe the ad card or gaff card would be different like it was for the split spades. And also I wanted to see the shade of purple that was used, which so far has not surfaced as of yet.

Let me make something a little more clear.  These were NOT made anything like the Split Spades.

For this particular deck, all of the colors were a single run off the same plates.  For the UV blue, they just switched the paper.  They started with one color in the machine for the one-color backs, probably blue, stopped in mid-run, swapped out the blue ink for red, then continued the print run until it was completed.  The purple shade you're asking about isn't a single shade of purple - it's the transition from the blue ink to the red, once the blue ink was replaced with red and the remaining blue ink in the machine was being forced out by the supply of red ink.  The purple decks are practically a different shade from deck to deck!

So, aside from color, every single deck is identical, because they were all printed from the same printing plates.  No wacky gaff card changes, no weird ad cards, no bonuses, no omissions, no nothing.

Can anyone put these under black light?

Sure.  You buy a black light, ship it to me and I'll put them under it.  Do you need my mailing address?

thanks don for the clarification. so the purple is different for every deck. how cool is that? means each deck is unique! but there is still no pictures so far on the net or anywhere that i know of that has pictures of them. *wishes for one so that i can open it to show the world(promise)* :)

I might do that if they did not raise the price. It's a little above my budget now. Am actually saving for a trip to US ;)

Good luck with that.

Would have bought it if I owned those UVs.

You are aware that the AIP comes with a red and a purple deck, right?  Ones that AREN'T sealed in bottles?
