Got an email about a new deck, the Black Carpathia. Apparently only 144 of these exist and apparently they are as thin as the Absolute Vodka. They go on sale this Friday. Here is the info.

"Black carpatbia deck will release,144 decks released(have individually numbered and seal ).
The printing of Black Carpathia Deck adopts two layers of paper, which is quite similar to Absolute Vodka Deck.
11/9/2012 8P.M. EST. Buy 12 Decks,will get free Uncut Sheet (only 8 ).
You can buy in http://www.carpathiadeck.com/category.php?id=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; "

I have on of these and the handling is pretty terrible. Also, there is a huge typo throughout the deck. It says "Carpatbia" instead of "Carpathia" throughout the entire deck... even on the box! But if you have the white version, you may want this to go along with it.

Nice! I guess that's why they setup the beauty shot with the right side of the tuck front hidden by the box in the foreground. I see they also never fixed the horrible kerning either! Personally I think the design on this is worse than a lot of the bad Kickstarter Decks.

Thanks, Randy

That's still a lot, though.

Well if you are used to buy at David´s Crackstore or at Dan and Dave´s Methhouse this isn´t bad (50$ shipping a brick wink wink!) :D ;)

Can you provide more information? The artwork on the tuck looks the same, aside from color accents.

Thanks

There is a white deck made by the USPCC which doesn't have this mistake.
The black deck was made elsewhere(sweden iirc) and have the spelling mistake.

Even though I'll eventually look at getting this deck (not sure about the $130 one)... the design is just boring... You can tell they couldn't come up with anything interesting and decided to plaster 2 big wooden boards on the back to fill space... it's just lazy... *sigh*

There is no $130 deck, that is $130 for 12 decks!

WHOOPS! HA HA HA

I guess that's what the "* 12" was for... ;)

So it says only 144 decks are being released, that's only 12 bricks... wondering how they are splitting this up amongst the brick and single deck offering...
