I was able to pick up 8 blue tune decks! I'm so glad that I got them. It's such a beautiful deck.
Thanks Aloys!

Got 6, now only hope I'm gonna have the surprise of my life, when opening the package I see a beautiful, cellophane wrapped, sealed, shiny red jerry nugget...

I was actually quite surprised it went out as fast as it did. Glad I got my hands on some. I'll be waiting to see how they handle.

You were SURPRISED that a release of only 720 decks sold out that fast - when people had practically no limit on the amount they could order?

actually its a total of 1440 decks in sales. 5 gross for wholesales and 720 decks to the public.

I see five resellers and many other smaller resellers (Buy few bricks to sell of in the end) instead...

Lol. A little bit I have to say. It sold out in approximately 13 minutes according to Aloys herself. I expected it to sell out pretty fast but I estimate in an hour or so, not within 15 minutes.

You forgot about the Gold Monarchs, didn't you? 144 decks sold in what, three minutes?

Gold Monarchs sold out in 90 seconds

I'm seeing a big aftermarket for this deck - which troubles me for a number of reasons...

I'm thinking that the blue version will go for between $50-$100. Probably more like $75-$100 after the initial market flood dies out.

I think the white version will be in the range of a pack of White Centurions. They're trading around $200 or so?

That's my guess in the eBay pool.

I wouldn't be so optimistic Don. This is he's first deck of cards, not a huge amount of people knew of it. I mean, it's not like there where 1700 people trying the get the decks, just like the t11 white monarchs. Still, due to his rarity it could be, but really not sure about it. Certainly if you consider the fact it has no borders, so not really practical for magicians...

Magicians aren't really a driving force in the aftermarket as much as collectors are. Do you really believe that a deck of Jerry's Nuggets would sell for $350 if it was the other way around? It's become fetishized. This deck did catch some attention - enough to be on 52cartes. And there's no denying that it looks like a very attractive deck. I stand by my estimates.

I don't think it'll go that high since there are resellers on top of the (I forgot how much..) released to the general public... but it's also up to the resellers to set the price unless there's like a mutual agreement between the two (Aloys and resellers)

I think you are supposed to make a trailer for the Blue Tune deck and the winner gets those prizes.

How can we make a trailer if we don't even have the deck? And also, I don't think it is fair at all to give 1 person 12 White Tunes decks!

The whole point of a trailer, is that it shows the deck. The only way to enter is if you have the deck.
Also, it's a hard contest, so the prizes should be good!

She should have contests for those who haven't gotten the decks not for those who already have bricks of them like you.

have the orders shipped yet?

munro159 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2012, 03:49:13 AM »

I asked Aloys over at UC when the decks were suppose to ship. The only reply I got was "Mid-August" so I guess we will see.

Seems shady... I don't understand why you will continue designing the White Tune deck rather than send out the Blue Tune ones you already have printed and sent to you...
