Exquisite Playing Cards from CARC

[Card Player]

I'm just curious about what "Master Finish" is.  I know the Global Titans weren't the most warmly received deck, though personally I didn't think they were bad - not great, but definitely not bad.  I can't tell for certain but I think these may be from the same factory.

I am WRONG.  These aren't from the Shanghai factory.  I can't give out details yet, but these will be FAR SUPERIOR to the Global Titans.  If they are what I believe they are, you will be stunned.

That, and many other exciting things, will be going on at conjuringarts.org on Thursday - NOT Friday!  So don't go slipping into your turkey coma until you've checked it out.

It has an incredible feel and texture to it. He also mentioned that he used the same printers that produced the Legends deck.

I'm really trying to cut down on buying new decks. This is going to be a tough one to pass on. I'm going to wait and see what everyone thinks after using them first. Maybe I can still pick them up somewhere if I change my mind.

I'm guessing I did miss the post. 

But - let's just say I know of a few interesting things going on over at CARC that will leave you kicking yourself in the butt if you don't check out the site on Thursday.  It's not like some massive holiday giveaway, but for some, it might even be better!

No doubt, I plan on checking it out. If there are a few things I like, I will drop some of these decks in the shopping cart with them.

It looks like CARC has a price out for the Exquisite deck already: http://shop.conjuringarts.org/store/pc/Exquisite-Playing-Cards-VERY-RARE-Limited-Red-Edition-Exclusive-Deck-and-Pack-Jacket-only-14-95-Pstpd-in-US-144p981.htm#.UpJDENKORv8 .

At almost 15$ with shipping is a bit pricing. I'm curious as to whether the blue Exquisite is less rare and costing less.

As per your link:

Our worker edition of this deck is made of the original back design (not reversed), printed in metallic blue and it also has a sideways tuck completely done in a beautiful blue foil. These are $5.95 per deck.

Thanks ... now I get to look like an idiot for not reading further down ... ,but I'm going to claim that the extra text wasn't up yet when I checked it out. I think the red ones will sell out pretty quick even at that price with only 800 decks printed.

They might sell quick and they might not. 800 decks at $15 could take a few days or a few weeks. They are up against a few companies looking to get a piece of the Black Friday market share. That's probably why CARC is releasing these on Thursday rather then Black Friday.

[MrMollusk]

Yeah, Black Friday is going to hurt. But at least the large majority of the decks being released are awesome. Can't wait for this one. It looks brilliant.

Don, since you gotten to see both the blue and red versions of the Exquisite deck, which do you think looks better in your opinion? I understand the red is much more limited but just curious what you think.

[52plusjoker]

Great Ace.  Style of those used 100+ years ago. That style, at least similar, of tuck case also used in late 1800's and early 1900's.

Seems like the gates opened a little early, I was able to get in at 4:50 Central Time, I was a little surprised, but happy.

Got a Special 6 Pack of the Exquisite Decks and 6 Legends, both of which I'm splitting with my silent partner, lol
We also grabbed a 10 pack of the Sleeves to save on the bulk discount.

Now I Just can't wait to get everything.

[Fanofyankees13]

I was at the check out screen and decided to back out of ordering. Not sure why, but I suddenly decided these cards aren't something I really want.

[Alchemy8905]

Picked up some reds & blues along with some black legends, now looking forward to the rest to come tomorrow.

You're missing out on a really good deck.

You're right. I may end up picking up a pair of red and blues later tonight. Just needs some more mulling over.

[sr15]

Got a couple blues, a red and one pack jacket. Missed out on the Legends but I was never really a fan of them anyway. Besides the cool box they didn't seem that great. Oh well, definitely excited about the Exquisites though.

[john]

I got these in today! You know how Don said they are fantastic, well i never believe Don because... well hes Don. Just playing, love ya bud! Anyway Don wasn't kidding when he said these things are fantastic... When you first open them the cards almost feel oily but after playing with em that goes away, yet they still handle fantastic! If you haven't picked any up yet, I really suggest you do!
