What do you guys think about them? are they worth to own? how bout to make? any of you guys make them? I am thinking of making one with cheap bikes.

EDIT FROM ALEX: Changed your thread title to fix the typo.

If you spelled "bottles" properly i would be more inclined to answer this question.

And no they are not worth it, and they are $100 no matter what deck you use, well that is how much jamie charges in single amounts i believe.

sorry i was typing fast. also

$25 not $100 also its not to hard to make just takes a lot of time.

Hmm fair enough, jamie sells his for $100 a piece for small orders if i remember correctly.

i have no idea who that guy is. I found out how to make them and i figure if i get normal bikes if i mess up its not that bad i would in total put around $10 (depending on later decks i would use it would cost more and i would make more) and get $25 for them so i figured if i get really good i could make a lot of money using better decks.

I would buy one if you can make a good quality one, PM me and tell me the secret i want to know.

Also jamie is the guy who did the red artifice and the sentinels impossible bottles.

Jaime's are much better. If you look at the third picture down , you will notice a chunk of the box is missing. I believe Jaime's don't have any markings like that, and are still in the cellophane.

John B. · « **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:48:42 AM »

yea i think i know how they do those too, might have to check the bottle, the way i know requires me to take the cellophane off.

Yeah, it's just simply put all cards out and put the box in and add card one by one carefully. Then use the new seal to seal it. But this way cellophane must be ripped off.

If I made my own, it may mean something to me...but to buy for $100-$200? I don't think so.

I had the red artiface one in my cart on E, when they were in stock, but I didn't buy it and now the resale value it through the roof, so that's proof enough for me to have wanted one.

I have always been confused by this idea.

This is ment to be a show piece i am guessing?

I have never personally been a fan of these as i like to use every deck of cards i have. On the other hand though i would like to try making one someday.

I think they look cool. If I ever get enough money, I will send Jamie some of my decks to try to get them bottled.

Well i do agree that they are cool and impressive looking. I just wonder if i would like to lock my decks away. I enjoy using every one of my decks. Although maybe a signed deck may be cool to enclose for safety? hmmm

John B. · « **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2011, 07:45:21 PM »

if i become famous my only signed decks will be in bottles.

How much will it cost if he were to bottle the decks that we send him?

I've been on his website, but it doesn't say. I'm guessing less then $100 since he sells bottled decks for that much, but maybe he charges more for a custom made one with your deck.

there are plenty of tutorials on the internet, but making one still in the cellophane is not one you will find online.

JMMJ · « **Reply #22 on:** November 28, 2011, 12:19:09 AM »

Imagine a fantastique deck in one of those, it would be exactly what the deck is suppose to represent.

Yeah, it's just simply put all cards out and put the box in and add card one by one carefully. Then use the new seal to seal it. But this way cellophane must be ripped off.

If you simply opened enough of the cellophane, you could leave the tuck box mostly wrapped. It would also give you a chance to remove the original deck seal and replace it with a new one, assuming the deck had a seal.

If you opened the top and bottom of the cellophane, you could fold the box flat and curl it to fit it into the bottle, then flatten it out and reform the box, regluing and resealing the bottom while inserting cards one or two at a time through the top.

It requires some LONG tools for the detailed manipulation work...and probably more patience than most humans have these days.
