Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• Jason Brumbalow is back, and he's working on a still-not-revealed project with Murphy's Magic Supplies.  He's taking questions (especially some rather bizarre ones foisted upon him by our own mod, John) so go to his topic and ask away!  The project is projected to debut in November.
• Bicycle Voyager is now shipping - I got mine - so off to the 2013 Releases List it goes...
• HOPC announced a new deck, the Nautical Deck, coming Thursday night.  It's unlike any deck they've sold before, according to Alex Pandrea, in terms of the stock and finish.
• I was wondering how long it would take before someone wrote a topic about the "Black Book of Cards" project announced by UnCommon Beat some months ago, never to be heard from since...  You have Rob Wright to thank for that!

I never heard of Karnival suicide king, any info?

[CBJ]

"Karnival Suicide Kings … Preview of one of the next decks I am working on for Magic Company BigBlindMedia in collaboration with Bluff Magazine (Poker Mag). Inspiration from old traditional western tattoo art. More to come soon !"

[loldudex2]

Although I hate scull decks, this deck already looks promising to me.

[junjie04]

Out of the list, i am going to only buy 7 of the releases

[loldudex2]

Out of the list, i am going to only buy 7 of the releases

I wish I had that much self control.

[Reylek]

Crown deck v2 in all 3 colors - coming this month.

[phantom1412]

Yike!
Karnival series are not my type really.

[CBJ]

Crown deck v2 in all 3 colors - coming this month.

Added!

[Evan]

Thanks for the list! I actually really needed it!

[Evan]

Blades - Blood Edition is coming

ooooh! Thanks! Any others that you know of?

[Evan]

Ok, please let us know when you know!

[law_kid]

Dave Hofmeister (pokerstud52) is releasing a vintage Aladdin design in a few weeks. 

[KPopFever605]

I have a feeling that you got this information from a Facebook page that lists all the deck releases, did you not?

[Evan]

I have a feeling that you got this information from a Facebook page that lists all the deck releases, did you not?

Are you talking about the page Magic and Playing Card News, Info, and Sneak Peaks?

[KPopFever605]

Yes, I think that was the name for the site.

[CBJ]

I have a feeling that you got this information from a Facebook page that lists all the deck releases, did you not?

Absolutely not.  I've been posting about decks for well over a year.  I keep an ongoing list of decks that have been released, and decks that will be released on my computer.  I took the time earlier today to post it here, with proper links to the threads on this board.

I not sure why, but I'm actually a little offended by your comment.

I normally reference in my posts where I get the info.

CBJ

p.s.  In the future all you have to do is look at the time stamps of posts. 

[loldudex2]

I have a feeling that you got this information from a Facebook page that lists all the deck releases, did you not?

95% of the time those Facebook pages get info, they get it from CBJ

[KPopFever605]

Wow, I did not mean to offend you, I just saw that page a bit earlier, and curiosity struck into my head. Actually, I applaude your work for have done that.

95% of the time those Facebook pages get info, they get it from CBJ

Nice One!

[CBJ]

Wow, I did not mean to offend you, I just saw that page a bit earlier, and curiosity struck into my head. Actually, I applaude your work for have done that.Nice One!

Not a problem bud.

Ithink that Facebook page is run by ezystreet... but I'm not 100% sure.
They have now given me credit on the Facebook posting.

Anyway, I like keeping you guys informed on the stuff I come across.  I sometimes think I go a little overboard with the threads I start... lol

CBJ

[KPopFever605]

They have now given me credit on the Facebook posting.


CBJ

NOW they credit you... I wonder why? -_-

[CBJ]

It's ezystreet's page, it's all cool now.

CBJ

[junjie04]

I wish I had that much self control.

You can, Just dun buy decks that have sleight changes like color, ugly decks and decks that have bad quality..

[phantom1412]

I don't understand what you are writing about.

[junjie04]

I don't understand what you are writing about.

Who are u referring to? Mind quoting?
