Magic Con Deck V2 Uncut Sheets

[NathanCanadas]

I doubt these will be at 100$. Although D&D tend to build hype, they rarely have high prices for their decks and uncuts to start with.

I won't be surprised if they are $100. This has many signatures on it, (including Blaine I believe), and sometimes their decks are expensive *cough* Tungstene and Chinatown *cough*.

They know they will sell no matter what, so I feel with all of the signatures and the rarity of this deck, $100 is a great deal.

[Evan]

If these are $100, there's no way I'm buying any. At $50, maybe I'd get a couple but anything more than that is too much for me. Now, I'm not saying that it isn't worth $100 because really... look at it... if the decks are going for arounds $30, then an uncut should be double that at the least. And add all the signatures and the fact that there are only 100 of them, $100 isn't a bad price.

When Syd said they might be around $100, they'll probably be $99.98 - I wouldn't be surprised of this prices though. This uncut sheet is like no other that I have seen. You still would have to take in the fact that they've never put anything this high up for pricing. So, it should be pretty mysterious to see how much these go for.

Well, it's not 99.98 nor 100. IT IS $249.95.

VERY overpriced. D&D seem to be overpricing a lot of their products lately...

[xlacs]

Wow! I was looking to pick one up but had to rethink this. It's a great piece of history to have but then again...very pricey.

[Fallen_Angel_of_Luck]

wow ridiculous :| i really wanted cyril's and dani daortiz's signature sigh* gotta pass on this

[Labyrinth]

$250...


WTFing price...

I don't think the signature "worth" more than $100 or $200

it's really overpriced 

[securechanger]

Very high price 

[Jin Jian]

Fucking High !! i already prepare around 130 plus as i wanted to get 1 of the magic con uncut sheet but now $250 i do not think that i am going to buy it .. super overprice ..

[Don Boyer]

I find it a little ironic that while the deck flew off the shelves, the uncuts are still up for grabs long after they were made available.  That's one hell of a money grab, seriously.  $250 a sheet, only 75 available, and only forty have David Blaine's signature on them!  (And there's no way of knowing whether you got one of them until it arrives!  Niiiiice.)  The one plus is that they're forcing people into making separate transactions for each sheet, so one (wealthy) person doesn't just swoop in and grab them all at once.

Seriously, I hope these sit on their shelves indefinitely.  I hope they never sell them out.  Perhaps they'll learn a lesson about rip-off pricing.

From a collector's standpoint, there's no point in buying this sheet.  The price is so insanely high, they're likely to never increase in value despite the rarity - in fact, they might even DECREASE in value.  You'd be buying not as an investment, but to have something pretty to hang on the wall.  I love fine art as much as the next civilized individual, but I don't have that kind of dosh lying around for a wall decoration.

I'd consider it if they got signatures from Houdini, Thurston, Vernon, Hofzinser, etc....

Crazy prices, signed stuff for me is sometimes pointless, when I was a kid I used to love to get signed items wether I bought it online or not, I used to be really into wrestling and would love nothing more to have a signed picture of my favourite wrestlers but I think now the excitment comes from getting up close to your idols or whatever they are and get them to sign it in front of you, not spending $$$'s on already signed items, for me atleast it loses the appeal. Thats not to say I never get stuff signed but only if it's at no extra cost. The last item I paid for that was signed was a picture of wwef/wwe diva Lita or Any Dumas and that was 8+ years ago. In some cases, say if it's someone who has passed away then obviously you dont have the up close option but even then I cant imagine buying a signature from 50 years ago would be very sentimental but that's just the way I think.

Also the $38 for the Fultons, I've backed up DnD a lot but it's just like what I saw from Encarded, people are just cashing in as much as they can on the collectors, they know people will buy this stuff and so it goes on. Look at the LTD decks from ellusionist, I spent about $200 inc shipping to get them and granted I made pretty much all of my money back by selling the extra infinity decks I bought but now they plan on making them available again, we dont know how exactly but initially they said they would only be available during certain dates, here's what was said.......

So they covered themselves but really it's just a change of mind from what they originally said. Is it fair, well I may bring it up but I certainly dont care very much, they can do as they please and I'll do as I please, I definatley have a hard time not being sucked in to all the hype of decks and thats why I got the LTD's the 1st time around. Oh well thats me done for now.

It's a little off-topic, but what did you think they were going to do with the leftover Ltd. decks?  Drop them in a time capsule for future card collectors?

As I understood what they said, it was the the Ltd. would no longer be available as a premium gift - spend $X, get a deck; that sort of thing.  It seemed likely that they'd be up for grabs in contests of some kind.  It appears they're having a big blow-out of a contest to push sales a little, giving away what is likely the last remaining stock of this deck, including a whopping 1,000-deck grand prize.

But back on topic - Dan and Dave are definitely seeking after-market prices for that sheet.  I don't imagine for a second that it would cost much more than that in the aftermarket.  If they were so popular, those sheets would have sold out hours ago.  But that price is giving a lot of people pause - and for good reason.

there are a reseller at facebook selling a magic con v2 uncut for $300 and $320 for david blaine sign on it .. i bet they bought alot since they are sure there will be david blaine signature on it .. i hope that not all of the uncut sell out and there are still a lot of them left so next time they wont be selling them for so expensive

[NathanCanadas]

250$??... even with all the signatures, that's crazy! 100 would have been more reasonable!
This is even worse than the DB card clips. I really don't understand how they can do that to collectors.

[NathanCanadas]

Apparently these aren't selling too well since they had to advertise them in their newsletter. They are digging their own grave with these exorbitant prices. The clock is ticking and the tables are turning, D&D!

[Aaron]

Thats just ridiculous $250! WTF, I really wanted one of these, I was hoping for like $75 bucks MAX. D&D, you are fucking stupid business people

[Evan]

Stupid business people? They're very smart business people... thats why they make a lot of money.


And guys, if you really think about it, the price isn't bad considering how many people signed it and who signed it.

[lordlupus]

The V2 launch fiasco I laughed. This I have to shake my head. The same guy who insulted DB on the ridiculously priced clip is charging $250 for an uncut with signatures.

Why? Do the twins need to pay those signers for their signatures? Did DB ask for too much that's why he signed only 40? Did DB refuse to sign all the uncuts because you insulted him on twitter about his stupid dead animal skin clip?

For f--- sake, this is pissing me off big time.

[Evan]

Did people pay Babe Ruth for him to sign a baseball? Maybe some people lol but people got his autograph for free and now how much is it worth? A LOT of money.

[NathanCanadas]

Evan... Stop playing devil's advocate please. What are you? A partner with D&D? Will you be reselling these cards? What's the matter? We all know these are ridiculously overpriced and D&D themselves know it.
These also come with a deck of MCv2:
"Each sheet includes a matching deck of cards, which sold out within minutes of their release during the conference last month."

It would have been hard - though not impossible - to obtain many of these because they are limiting sales to one per transaction.

And what fool would pay that kind of money for something that's not even sold out yet?  They're still on sale at original retail, $250!

250$? ?... even with all the signatures, that's crazy! 100 would have been more reasonable!

Because they like making money?  Just a guess...

While I wouldn't go so far as to say they're a dying company, I would go so far as to say they've had more than their fair share of embarrassing and disappointing moments in the last six-or-so months.  That these didn't sell out at record speed is shocking and has everything to do with the insanely high price.  Over a day later, they still aren't sold out.

Stupid business people? They're very smart business people... thats why they make a lot of money.

Actually, it is.  We're talking about famous magicians, to be sure, but most of them wouldn't exactly qualify as A-list celebrities, with the exception of David Blaine, who only signed 40 of them.  $75-$100 would have been a more reasonable range.

Did people pay Babe Ruth for him to sign a baseball? Maybe some people lol but people got his autograph for free and now how much is it worth? A LOT of money.

Dude - you're comparing this to a famous baseball player from nearly a CENTURY ago?  That's about as useful as comparing apples and barnacles.

This is even worse than the DB card clips. I really don't understand how they can do that to collectors.

$250 is very expensive .. i know and i would prefer it to be $100 .. but this is even worse than the DB card clips ?? are you serious , this is worst than the DB card clip ? the DB card clip were sold for $350 for god sake and a normal joe porper card clip will only $30 .. when dan and dave releases their leather card clip which were for sold for $90 and $120 alot people are going around saying there are overprice , but now david blaine are selling card clip for $350 and you think it better ?? The magic con uncut sheet will guarantee to have 38 signature .. and some will have 39 of them .. have you never wish to have your stuff signed by magicians ?? let count it this way .. $50 for a regular uncut sheet cost which mean the $200 is for the signature .. 200/38 one signature only roughly cost $5 .. for the spar deck a signed deck increase it value by $25 !!

I would not pay anywhere close to $5 a signature for these people.

Everyone, if you want to get cards signed by famous magicians, contact them on their website or facebook and they will give you an adress to ship it to to be signed. FOR FREE, except you include return postage. Costs a little bit less than $5/ signature
