There's a good chance that CARC will carry it, but it's not a certainty.  I'll ask Bill when I'm in touch with him next.

Don, any word?

[massy]

Hi princess, I have seen your collection....it's amazing.
Compliments

Not yet, but I'll be in touch with him before the weekend.

[PrincessTrouble]

Thanks massy.  I'm still waiting for Mike from BMPokerWorld to get more of the deck displays in so I can hang the most of the collection on the wall.  I've been waiting months now.  Ugh.

You think he's actually going to get more in?

It might be simpler and faster to make your own.  We have at least a few topics on how people display their decks and what displays they've made for them.

Collectableplayingcards.com has the same thing in stock and cheaper by about $30.

Hi Don,
Sorry about my slow response but I was away.
I've decided that Conjuring Arts will carry the No1r deck. I'm not sure on the price but they won't be super expensive. Probably $7.95 a deck plus shipping.
One caveat is that these are from a different factory than either Pr1me editions or Sketch decks. For me, as a cardman, I prefer the first Pr1me decks over either sketch decks or No1rs but that is just me. In fact after using the same Pr1me deck (red) for over a year it is still a favorite. After they break in they stay in a very Jerry's like condition and I love that. This is not the case for the Sketch decks and I haven't field tested the No1r enough to make any claims about it.
We will build a product and have the decks available very soon.

These are great - here's a pix of one we have with old advertising and Congress #606 decks from the early 20th century by USPC

Bill or anyone that may know - when you say first Pr1me decks, does that refer to the 001 1st and/or 2nd editions?

[WKalush]

Bill or anyone that may know - when you say first Pr1me decks, does that refer to the 001 1st and/or 2nd editions?

I'm referring to both the first two Pr1mes. I realize that there was some differences in printing but the quality and feel seems to be the same. The Sketch and now No1r are substantially different.
Although having said that I found that some of the blue Pr1mes are really really soft, but not all! I don't know why or how to tell other than to open them and flex them.

Pardon my continued ignorance - Is really really soft good or bad?  My main goal has always been to find the best handling deck, and so far nothing has matched the Exquisites, but I'm looking to pick up one of those Pr1mes and want to make sure I get the right one

I agree with you that the Blue Exquisites are the best yet (even better than the Red).
If you like the Exquisites then you should try the red Pr1mes. When I say the blue Pr1mes are sometimes too soft I mean they were freakishly soft. I don't know what happened in the production but they are crazy soft (some decks, that is). I would bet you will like the red Pr1mes.

Thanks Bill!  Yeah, those blue exquisites are my absolute favorites for handling - I've actually tried not to break them in too much as I only have the one (and I'm planning on keeping the red sealed as a collectible)

[PrincessTrouble]

I hope so, eventually.  I originally ordered 6 from him but 1 was damaged.  Now there is a "hole" in my display wall waiting for another case.  I would like for it to match and not be different from the 5 I've already hung (even already have the screws predrilled).  Once I start on the next the wall, I can use a different brand/type.  I guess I'm just a little OCD.  Thanks for all the suggestions, though.

[WKalush]

A little update. Our supply of the No1r deck arrived today and we expect to put these on sale Wednesday at 1pm.

Are you going to get in red pr1mes again by any chance?  I've been wanting one since you told me how awesome they are but haven't pulled the trigger yet...though I am picking up some more Exquisites

[WKalush]

Unfortunately I don't believe that there are any red Pr1mes left. A year or so ago I think we bought the remaining stock and they are now sold out.
Next time you put an order at Conjuring Arts mention this conversation and I'll try to find a deck floating around the office and send it to you with my compliments.

[HandSkillz]

I'm actually placing an order right now for that "Exquisite Deal" which, we should probably start a topic for if one hasn't already, really is exquisite.

[WKalush]

I'll ask Jen to pop a "spare" pr1me deck in for you! And thanks for having such a cool avatar photo.
