Haven't bothered to post anything in here, but this was a grab I am pretty pleased with. Found a poorly listed ebay auction, and was able to get these fellas for $170.
Which, interestingly enough, seems to have been sold by an Ellusionist employee's female mate.

All I can say is, "Whoa."

Well damn, if that aint the deal of the century, lol Gratz!!

Thanks guy, and needless to say, I was blown away when the bidding didn't go higher. It was one of those auctions you bid on KNOWING you won't win because the expected price is more than you are willing to pay. Kind of like asking your wife for some action in the back row of the theater; you know the outcome, but you're compelled to try.

The listing was titled "Rare Deck Lot", and that was it. I don't even recall how I found it, as it wasn't showing up in any of my 24 saved searches. Then part of me wasn't expecting the deal to be legit, because it almost seemed too good to be true. Regardless, I've now got a few items that I am hoping to trade for an Unbranded Black Reserve Note (fingers crossed...)

Curious about that label that appears to say 'rank', everything and 'little' is that a random label attached (presumably) from the retailer that originally sold it, or something else? My first guess is it looked gambling related.

Good eye. Yes, I believe it's a random label attached from the retailer. Maybe a piece of advertising?

Darn!! So you're the one that beat me in that auction. The scarlet rounders are the ones I really wanted.

Had a few new things come in, was a good Holidays I think.

The uncuts are Legends V1 & V2.

Scarlet rounders seem to be going for around $30-40 on ebay at the moment because of the recent cyber monday/black friday sales flooding the market

. So they should be cheapest to pick up around this time. That said I don't think you'll ever beat THAT lot of rare decks - that's a bargain

Haha you were the other bidder? It's a small internet after all. Shoot me a list of anything you would be willing to trade, let's see if we can work something out! I've got half of that haul up in the STISO for trade towards an Unbranded LE Reserve Note, but am not opposed to letting part of it go.

Was a busy day for my mail carrier. They're all nice decks except for the War of Kings, which has nice art just horrible printing and packaging. I couldn't examine it too much because the off-gassing of the cards was unbearable. Not like the sweet smell of a new deck from USPCC or some of the Asian printing companies at all.

Looks that way, just curious whether it could have been part of a promo.

The chinese opera deck is not bad.. As you know I collect more for the look of the decks and the customized art not for the handling and such. I wish the courts would have been customized as I love the back of the cards. The ace of spades is nice, love the tuck box, overall another cool deck in the collection

Not quite playing cards I've gotten here, but something for my cards though

Now I'm note sure of the correct English word for this thing, but it's kinda like one large binder with two smaller binders inside of it - and each of the small binders fit 8 decks, so the binder fits a total of 16 decks! It's a pretty nice way of storing cards
