"Gold Seal Coterie Bee now available!
 
Happy New Year! Here we go for the first surprise in 2014 from us.
We designed the Coterie Bee Gold Edition in year 2011 with its color variations and themes, the original Gold Edition was considered by many as the most elegant Bee playing cards ever conceived.

900 decks out of the initial 5200 decks run were sealed and reserved for Artiste and higher classes members of Coterie of Prestidigitation Artists.

After Coterie Bee Gold Edition was sold out, we planned to proceed with new edition of Coterie Bee. However, after over a year of correspondence and negotiation, USPCC informed us that they will not print Coterie Bee anymore nevertheless.

We had to discontinue the Coterie Bee series and subsequently decided to abandon the Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards as part of the Artiste membership package.

Only 650 decks of Gold Seal Coterie Bee playing cards will now be made available for purchase, after they were gone, the remaining stock will become part of our special promotion offer.

Get them now!

That's both sad and awesome.  It was a gorgeous deck, and USPC's refusal to reprint it makes no sense whatsoever.

[Mydnyghte]

Are those the same ones they were originally selling for $13?

They made only one print run of this deck, so yes, they're the same.  Of 5200 decks, 900 were gold-sealed - originally they were supposed to all be gold-sealed, but USPC ran out of gold seals.  The gold-sealed decks were at one point being held back just for members of the Coterie to be used as a sort of club ID card, but when the collecting public learned of them, they demanded to have some and a number of them were released for sale - but with Zenneth Kok's signature on them.  Prior to this offer, very few unsigned decks existed outside of the hands of the Coterie.  The tucks and cards of all 5200 decks are identical, only the seals and signatures are different.

[Mydnyghte]

Ah okay, I've got one of the decks without the seal, I see what you are talking about in the pictures. How many were signed?

About 250 were signed with the cellophane removed on the signature area of the back by Zenneth Kok.  The ones selling now are unsigned and probably still cello-wrapped.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Dan and Dave have a little teaser/promo thing saying that something was coming out on Christmas Day? I don't recall seeing anything.

They left teasers, but I don't think they had dates on them.  I was assuming it would be New Year's Day, since they've had NYD releases in the past.

Well - what, if anything, did they release, 'cause it certainly wasn't a deck...?
