I'm a little surprised that this was not a topic earlier... Far to much KS Bull$#!T and not enough of the realness... Check this bad@$$ deck out...

If I were an eskimo, I would build my igloo next to a supermarket.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

A good reason for no prior topic would probably be that the Bathing Ape stuff tends to start life on the endangered species list...  If it's so rare that no one's even heard of it, then there's not much to talk about!  :))

Did you spend $200 USD from the main bape store or $100USD from the pirate store? I can't seem to find a link to the Bape pirate store.

Kind of reminds me of an ape from planet of the apes. Which totally fits in with the theme of the deck....
My mom always said I'd be great at something. Who'd have thought that something would be zombie killin'.

Well I can't say I've ever heard of them. I tried looking them up online but all I can find is this playboy deck and a green-ish deck. Do they have a main website? And what other decks have they made?

You probably haven't heard of them because they're a clothing company based in Japan, now owned by a Hong Kong fashion conglomerate called I.T.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathing_Ape

Their decks are promotional materials, like the ones for fatboyeatallday, Stussy, Clot Limited Edition, Original Fake and countless others.  As the article will tell you, the brand has done many works with other companies and their cultural icons - this Playboy deck would fall into that category.
