Some older guy at a flee market was selling old Tally Ho's for 3 bucks a piece, all opened but in good enough condition to be bought. He ended up giving me a deal for 2 bricks for about 50 bucks. Overall AMAZING deal!

I bought a vintage Tally-Ho deck that Jmrock here on the forums wants from me. I don't remember how much I paid, but I do remember shitting myself when I won that auction (it was in flawless condition, and shall remain so now that I wrapped it in custom cellophane!)

You paid around $89 for it... I actually had the bid, but was not on my cpu and the machine froze at the most inopportune time...

I'd really love to see your collection of sealed vintage decks. It seems you keep good tabs on them on eBay.

BTW, did you win the other auctions that guy had? I tried winning more than just the Tally-Ho but I lost the others.

I got a sealed Multimiller Gargoyle Expo Deck for a total price of $1 on eBay. I was pretty happy about that.

Well that beats the Dragon Backs I got yesterday for a $1.00 at Walgreens in a discount bin, lol. Gratz!

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

The best I've managed was getting Ohio Rider Backs and new Studs after the Play Rights replaced them, all at my local Walgreens.  Oh, and there's also the fruit/veg shop near my house that sells Tally Ho - they're Erlanger-made, but they're also $3 a pack, nice and cheap.
