I'm going to go with sink within 30 seconds.

It will keep a couple drops of rain from ruining the deck and tuck, but it is not watertight. Drop the deck in a bucket of water and you can kiss the deck goodbye in 15 minutes. I don't recall hearing of anyone pressure testing decks of cards to any depths. Although, you could see what Kem's do in a...

I got mine today. Much like Ben Taylor's, but mine had a couple boxes of Bicycle Dice included. Now I'm all set.

Once I requested to be an Ambasador, that choice is no longer available in the Articles section.
They don't like the idea of me requesting mutiple kits, I guess.
By the way, when you get the email with invitation templates, they give you a code key for 35% off one purchase at the Bicycle Store.

Marketing sent an email to those that "signed up" this year. The email included templates for invitations and other printed notices. THe email also hinted that this was all that I was getting. I responded to the email to elicit a personal response. Whomever replied to my email claimed that...

Really? You went there? We all could have gone many days without that. Even Tom was avoiding the very line. I feel ill.

Rather, be mindful of the outside of the (tuck)box,
but put lots of amazing work into the deck inside the box.

T.M.I.
Are we really s(t)inking this low?

Come on guys.... Let's keep the childish comments to the "last person to post wins..." thread. One thread to sink the board's overall gravitas is more than enough.

I hate to rehash this old subject, but, has anybody received their Core decks yet?
I have not.

Tom,

That's very impressive! I especially like the Wall display, simple and effective.
Did I see only one pair of UC decks? Where's your loyalty, man?

Great Ornates' brick boxes. Very sweet!

They could release a Blue Cup deck just by changing the color of the cups. Sort of "Blue Crown-ish". I wonder if they just had some old red ink sitting around that they had to either use up or throw away. Or was the USPCC breaking in a new graphics artist and giving him an easy project to ...

Library glass has a tint applied to the inside to reduce damaging UV rays from incoming light. That and not letting copious amounts of light in in the first place help reduce long term damage.

Barrister Cabinets are the way to go. Nice glass doors show off the collection just perfectly. And if you are overly anal, you could provide environmental controls for long term preservation (assuming you are not going to sell off the decks in the near-future). NOw if I were stupid wealthy, I would ...

I finally got mine, had to file a complaint with the local post office.
Truely beautiful and extremely well executed.
Once I get a deck broken-in I'm going to use it at all my games.
Thank you very much gentlemen !!

A few months back there was a rumor of USPCC killing off the KEM line. Mike was kind enough to ask USPCC and the response never did answer the question. So now we see this KEM-like change to Prestige. This again raises the question(s): 1) Is Bicycle/USPCC/Jarden killing off (absorbing) the KEM manuf...

I would pay to see that oil wrestling match !!!!

I've found that Jason's plastic cards hold up to use very well. They don't flake off like the Bicycle Prestige, or other plastic cards. I also like his use of color. For playing card games, Desjgn decks are among the best. I, for one, am backing this Kickstarter project. Then no more Kickstarter.

I try to get two of each design (that I choose to acquire). At least one deck goes into a plastic box for display, leaving one open deck to handle, scan, and put into play. I have only a couple bricks or other multiples. About five multiples out of 1900+ designs.

My preference (for what it's worth) it for the writing in the slant.
The UC logo in the center makes it a bit confusing on a first glance.
I'd like a classy look, the cleaner the better. IMHO.

Yes !!!! I agree with the slant change. The rest is just classy enough with the right amount of color to work for performers and card games. I might have to increase to more than just one brick.

My best friend and I have been married for 28 years. 'Till Death Do Us Part' .
She is OK with my collecting, but we both cringe at the cost and space required.

The short answer is yes. I buy them by the case of 100 about three times a year. I use the single and double (50 and 100) all the time (about 1500 so far) and they work great for a sealed deck or two. When I get home later, I will get you more info (brand, contact, prices...). Jim The plastic boxes ...

Damn, and I swore I wouldn't back any more Kickstarter projects... then this one came around. Ok, Ok. No more Kickstarter projects after this one. Really.

I think we could easily support 2500 decks on this forum alone. I'm down for a brick.

I was starting to go through withdrawls! I have to admit (with much shame)I went over the Alex's site to look around. I know that I must pay for my sin. Thank you again, Mike for taking this over !!!! If the cost becomes a business burden, I will be willing to go with some sort of paid subscription ...

Bless you Mike !!!!!

I am getting the mySQL error quite a bit lately. Waiting a few minutes usually works. When I am able to get on after this error, I see only five (or so) users plus the Google Bot. Doesn't look like this site is getting overused at these times. It might be time to put up a poll and see if paid user s...

How very nice of them. $90.00, and they are cheaper to make than a $7.00 deck of cards. How very nice of them. You're right! How dare they try and make money, they should be doing this for exactly what they were charged from Bicycle! This is not fair, we deserve a cheaper collectors item! How dare ...
