Looking at this eBay link, this deck from Karival seemingly goes for around $200. Seeing as it has been sold exactly 26 times, someone is paying insane prices for this deck that costs more than the limited edition Ellusionist and/or theory11 decks combined.

What do you guys think?

Wait, what exactly does "US $200.00 or  $34 for 6 months†" mean?

It means $200 dollars upfront  but if you  don't have all moolah but really really feel you should still be online buying a  stack of paper, dont fret cause it could still be yours with 6 convenient monthly payments of $34.
I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
A while back when I was trying to get a deck of the original Dose cards I wasn't able to find any, but these foil redux decks were all over the place for $20 or $30 bucks. I'm surprised they are selling for this much now. I don't know that they are worth what is being asked for them now.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

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

  • Facebook:
I wouldn't call those prices reliable - and it's possible the cards themselves are counterfeit.  I've seen that happen before.

There's another seller with the same deck, same photos, same ad copy - half the price.

They do seem to have become scarce (pokerstud52 is out of them) but I really doubt the value is as high as that.

Personally, I like this ad much better...  Read it CAREFULLY...

They are worth $100-200 bucks???!?!?!?!

I bought mine for $20SGD...wth. I honestly do not think it is worth that much either...but if anyone wants to buy it at $100USD from me, i'm just a PM away.   ;)
