Hi Guys,
I hope this is the correct place to post this because I want to give the users of The Discourse a heads up on a little promotion we are offering at 1pm tomorrow.

Conjuring Arts will offer a Luxury variety box of 12 great, pristine unopened decks that will include a deck of Jerry's Nugget!
In addition to this each buyer can choose one of 3 versions of the variety box. The difference is that each version contains a Pre-Release deck that hasn't been sold or even announced before today!

The three choices of pre-release decks are Version:
A ) Smith No. 3 by The Expert Playing Card Co. This is our latest and final installment of our Erdnase 1902 series. This deck has the Smith hands pattern (by Guy Hollingworth) with two casino style ovals that have M.D. Smith's signature on them. This signature was taken from a copy of Erdnase we have in our library. The Ace of spades has a rendering of Mr. Smith's face (like Willis Russel used to do) and the tuck has a die cut hole so you can see Mr. Smith while the deck is closed. These decks won't be released for at least another Month.

B) Owl Eyes by George Hage. This is a deck that we have an exclusive U.S. supply of (but not yet here, won't actually release until April) produced by our friend, cardman George Hage. It's available in 3 colors and these will be randomly chosen for each buyer of version B.

C) Sharps by Lawrence Sullivan. This great deck won't actually ever be released for sale in this form. Lawrence produced them to show off a new paper that will soon be available from Legends Playing Card Company and also from The Expert Playing Card Company. Getting variety box C might be your only chance to get a Sharps deck. It's available in 3 colors and these will be randomly chosen for each buyer of version C.

In addition to the Jerry's and a pre-release deck each brick contains:

Shooting Star (1980s casino, rare!)
Special Edition "Black Box" Skull & Bones (never sold)
Bicycle Tall Stacks (rare!)
Erdnase 1902 Red Acorn
Erdnase 1902 Green Acorn
Erdnase 1902 Blue Smith No. 2
Erdnase 1902 Red Smith
Erdnaseum
Global Titan
Pr1me No1r


We have chosen to sell the boxes at $399 which we think, although expensive, is a great value and will allow new collectors to start out with some really great and rare decks.

So 36 Variety Boxes in total, correct?

Darn, I wish I had the cash to buy these.

ONE JN would not be enough for me. I would need at least two of each color and would obviously pay more. A nice deal for those that want ONE.

Looking forward to seeing the Smith No. 3.

Can't quite afford it at this time, but I would love every deck in this box, curious to see what the "Sharp" deck looks like.  Any pictures? 

Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

Can't afford the whole box but I would love to get my hands on Owl Eyes (all colors).  I have both Altruism decks.

A little off topic, but I have an affinity for owls.  For the past 4 years, the same great horned owl comes to lay eggs outside my office window at work.  She usually lays eggs around Presidents' Day.  We're currently waiting for our little owlets to hatch.  Some pics from the first year that owl decided to nest outside my office:

Just got a big fat yearly bonus today but probably will not pick this box up. I already have 8 of the 12 decks offered, so will probably stay away

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed those photos.

How lucky are you to have been able to watch this drama unfolding! I envy you as any owl sighting is rare especially during the day time and you could watch them everyday.

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing that.

We will offer the three colors of Owl Eyes for sale in limited quantities, and this will most likely happen in April. They are on an interesting, more embossed and somewhat thicker stock than Exquisite.

Any chance there'll be a similar deal for the Sharps?

Make that +2 brother.

I was at work when the e-mail from conjuring arts got sent out, and so I only got to check it out a few hours later... and the Variety box featuring the sharps was already sold out!!

I like the look of the Sharps deck very much like the White Lions deck. A borderless version of that design would probably end up being one of my favourites!
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Great news, Bill, thanks!  Set aside a mixed brick (4 of each color) for me.  :)

So my variety box came in the mail today. The box is gorgeous. Triple-packaged and looks to be in perfect condition, as with all of CARC's orders are. I've ordered from them 5+ times in the last couple of months and I've always been very happy with the speed and condition of their shipped product. However...

my stomach dropped when I saw this. The main appeal of this box for me was the JN's. Call me a sucker for buying into the hype but I've always wanted to own one and now I finally do. However, I can't claim at all that this deck is in mint condition :/ Do I have a leg to stand on here? Can I possibly get a replacement? These pictures were taken literally 30 seconds after I opened the box.

edit: every other deck is in perfect condition. If this had happened to any of the other decks I would have just chalked it up to "one of those things", but I can't help but be bitter about this.

Holy crap! My JN's were the exact same condition! I opened my box and my JN's are split in the exact same place!! Argh. I emailed them immediately, only because I couldn't break away from work to call them before they closed.

i feel the same way. Majorly disappointed and very unhappy.
 All my other decks were also in perfect condition.

It seems it def happened the same way as they are "damaged" in the same way at the same spot. I would hope they would replace these decks.

Just received my Variety Box with the Black Owl Eyes deck.  I was fortunate that my Jerry's arrived intact, but there was one peculiar thing about them... there appears to be two seals on the deck.  Is this something that has been seen on Jerry's before?  I searched the forum and online and didn't come up with anything.
