[nECr0MaNCeD] My meager collection

[RSLancastr]

Ouch indeed. What a crappy thing to say.

Yeah. I've heard it said that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference, which is evidently where she has me filed.

Well if it's any consolation, I am in the same boat with the second. The first hates me and that's just fine with me....

You are most welcome. I'm buying a Seasons set this week to open. The federal 52s can still be found but grab em while you can. Prices are going up. The majority of my collection, the Ignite's included, are from Ellusionist and Theory11 and not terribly expensive. The Ignites do fan and spread beautifully I must say.

Not sure if you mean my collection (if so thanks!) or the thread. If you mean the thread I agree 150%. None of my friends or family share my love of playing cards and it's nice to show them off to people who appreciate them.

[Mike Ratledge]

Actually, I mean both! It's exactly what you said an opportunity to show and see things people often would not share.

Then you have my most humble thanks sir. Got some stuff the other day including two rare decks from Lyle at T11 I will be taking pics of. Also I stopped at Rite Aid today and found two 4 packs of Bicycles. Two red and Two black. Here's the kicker. One pack had two black decks that said Rider Back on them and were made in Cincinnati. The other two black actually look grey/silver. I bought both. With my Rite Aid card I got all eight for $21 w/ tax. I'll be posting pics of them as well.

Anyone know why the two Blacks are different?

[nECr0MaNCeD]

Here are the latest additions to the collection.

My Theory11 shipment


My Rite Aid find. I went to a different Rite Aid after I found the first two and they also had a set with Silverish blacks.


And finally, the two decks that Lyle from T11 was kind enough to send gratis.


If anyone has an answer about the difference between the two black decks I'd love to know.

[Mike Ratledge]

Interesting decks. Have you found anything else? As I remember the black & silver versions were only available from magic shops. Likely a repro they has done to order by US PCC.

No, these were it for today. There aren't any Rite Aids close enough. The 4-pack the Silvers came in said 2 red and 2 black but as you can see they are very different than the regular blacks. It is more pronounced in person. Also as you can see the regular blacks say Rider Back while the Silvers say Standard. Lastly the Regular blacks say Cincinnati, OH on the side.

PS I am fighting an urge to open the Brown Wynns. I'll likely never get another so I must stay strong.

[Mike Ratledge]

No, leave them be. I'm the same way. Unless I have 3 or more of a single deck. Those Broen Wynns are nice!

Thank you sir. I will. It's just that I love the cards themselves as well and hate that I can't hold them. Kind of like having a Corvette you can't drive!

[nECr0MaNCeD]

OK so I opened one each of the Black and Silver decks. They are identical. Both are less black than Black tuck box. Why one tuck is Silver looking IDK. The Black tuck/deck was printed in Cincinnati so my guess is they changed tucks sometime after moving to Ky.
