Then what was the first picture of? Some sort of prototype or what?

I have this gut feeling it will be an extra deck with the purchase of a brick. Like they did with the black and silver acorns.

Either that, or they decided to change the design of the box entirely.

Yeah mofo whose right whose right! Oh me!

Anyway i doubt it will remain members for very long, maybe for a week or 2.

Wow... Now that's enticing... Without contradicting my other post, I will state that upon further examination, I have grown quite fond of the look of the deck...I like the simplicity of the skull & cross bones... Bicycle branded Skull & Cross Bones... Very Cool... It just pains me to no end that they are forcing people to purchase an entire brick of one style in order to get the limited deck... I would respect them just a little bit more if they would allow the purchase of a mixed brick of the skull & bones decks in order to get the limited deck...

Well, at least it's better than I expected. They said they printed this deck from a vintage design, so who can blame them. Surprisingly, I might be picking up one of each color by next week.

Members only. Now available. Come in black, red, blood red and blood black.

Correction: Only three colors exist: Red, Black, and a hybrid of the two, possibly Maroon.

Anyway i doubt it will remain members for very long, maybe for a week or 2.

They are only going to be exclusive for one week. After that, they'll be available to us...unless they sell out...which I doubt.

These are now available at Tannen's as well as a special edition of the deck that members get with a brick.

No idea if they already have them or if they are pre-order, but chances are, they're pre-order. I'll see if they sell out on CARC before I snag one of these though.

P.S. - I was correct about the Maroon coloring (Pictures of an uncut are in the website), except each Special Deck comes with varying shades of the Red and Black Hybrid. In case you don't follow, according to Tannen, there'll be lighter shades of Maroon (almost red)...fading off to standard Maroon...the finishing at Dark Maroon (almost brown).

KPOP... Thanks a million... Grabbed the Special Edition from Tannens... Nice that they offered it straight up without the BULL$#!T...

Anybody have a coupon code for Tannen's Magic?

Thanks in advance.

What's the big deal on this deck?  It's a standard deck with a custom back and box.

But it looks awesome! - Perhaps we appreciate it better because it's from CARC, a company not known for simply recolored cards. There's just something in this deck that I never pictured liking, but, in the end, I did.

Unless those all don't count i believe CARC has the most recoloring out of anyone.

I agree with John - though I also acknowledge that their decks are generally pretty top notch.  KPop - how you could possibly say they not known for simple recolorings is beyond me, unless you truly are legally blind.


JMRock: I didn't think the black/silver Acorns were a flop.  They were quite unique, in fact - it was the first CARC deck to use Magic Finish due to the metallic inks.  As such, the Ivory version is also the first smooth-surface Magic Finish deck.  I think it handles really nicely.  The bonus deck, I have no idea - I wasn't down with buying a brick.

Well, although they are known for THOSE recolored decks, never before have I seen them create such an uproar as theory11.

I found Kpop's post hilarious! I couldn't agree with John more.

That might be because many people have given up even trying to keep pace with the color changes...  KPop, some advice: that hole you're digging is getting too deep to climb out of - so stop digging already!

That Special Edition Deck looked very interesting, but at $34.95 at Tannens...I think I'm gonna pass.

I think Tannen's, unlike CARC, is allowing mixed-brick purchases to get the bonus deck.  Why buy the deck when you can get it free with 3 decks of each standard version of the deck?  Many people buy that much anyway, right?

[Utterfool]

I believe you do have to buy a whole brick of one color to get the deck from Tannen's
I was not offered a free deck when I ordered 3 of each.
Of course when I ordered they were offering the deck for $19.95 instead of $34.99 as now.
I ended up picking up 2 red and 2 black ivory and just paid the $19.95 for the special edition.
These are for the colection so I didn't need a whole brick.

I'll talk to them.  Hoping to be in the shop Thursday.

Finally was ahead of the curve and like utter picked up two of each and the deck at the lower price... I'm glad Tannens was honorable... Seems as thought they quickly shot the deck to $35... So much for honor...
