...and the final set.

Handling, feel - good.  They're Magically Finished on Bicycle stock; this isn't an unusual combination by now!  I couldn't throw a dart at my collection without hitting at least one such deck!  :))  But yes, they handle nicely.  My photos really don't do the cards justice - you guys who pledged for them will really enjoy them.

Those photos look awesome, cannot wait to open the mailbox and see my set in there. Definitely some of my favourite decks I have purchased in a while.

I hope the resellers get theirs soon so I can buy some. I foolishly passed these up when they were on KickStarter.

Sorry 10ofClubs there are no resellers with my decks, the only place you will be able to buy the decks post is my website.

You did spot that he's selling the remaining decks on Shopify, right?  I'll quote him:

From my understanding, He is not going to add them to his online store until all the KS backers have been delivered. I checked just in case- not there yet.

True, but when those backers' decks are shipped, they'll be on sale at his Shopify page.  Perhaps I should have more clearly used a future tense...

Oh cool! I didn't realize that, now I am even more excited to get my decks in the mail. Guess it's time to start checking the mailbox everyday.

These cards have been on fire on ebay. I missed out on the original funding project on kickstarter so ebay was where I had to turn for my fix. I didn't want to take a chance on missing out on these fantastic cards.

Every single buy it now has closed as soon as it was basically listed.

The last two auctions have been for 2 decks. A Lot of 2 Unbranded (no Bicycle) Federal 52 & Gold Certificate Playing Cards sold for $165.00. The other 2 decks sold for $150.00.

It takes a lot of money to buy a deck printed like money!

The cards were/are a fantastic idea and I think represent a dream coming true which in turn makes everything that much better.

I would take a bow and drink a shot of something nice if I were you Jackson.

I can't beleive how much these are going for on eBay! I know they're no longer available and fully customised decks, but its still a bit gobsmacking! Glad I picked mine up for regular price though. They're awesome!
My mom always said I'd be great at something. Who'd have thought that something would be zombie killin'.

I got a few during the KS project, but not as many as I should have, or wanted to. For some reason, I tought that he had said somewhere that the standard ones would be available for purchase after the project, adn I figured I'd wait. Well, that was obviously a BIG mistake on my part. Well, at least I have a few of all of the versions, including signed and the blacks. Although I wanted to open and use these, I'm not cracking the cello on these for anything now.

A limited number should be available after the project.

However, there's the matter of decks getting damaged during shipping. There also were some incorrect orders as well.

Perhaps you should check out his topic in the Sales, Trades and ISOs board - he's trading Fed52s for other decks there.

I hadn't seen mention of this but if I've overlooked please merge, etc.

Jackson Robinson's selling the last of the Federal52 decks but only through tomorrow, 2/23. At least I hope it includes tomorrow or else this is really too late. They're also 50% off so, generally $25/deck.

Now that I've already got my decks I can share the word without fear of missing out.  ::) Bike Branded original Fed52s ran out right under my nose. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post this sooner but as much as I wanted these I felt like I owed it to any kindred souls who missed out.

It's done.  We try keeping decks in the Plethora to a single topic, to make information easier to find later without having to search all of creation for it.
