Paul, I wanted to wait a little while before I responded, but I did sticky it "Global" for 10 days when you first posted it. This is an AWESOME opportunity for UC users _only_ to grab a not-available-anywhere-else prize that you just can't get anywhere - _except_ here on "UnitedCardists thread 8524'' for "J P Playing Cards"! It's one of those "benefits of membership" here, and we do our best NOT to allow anyone to advertise here, and never will - but this is _NOT_ advertising, it's a give-away for two VERY lucky people here to get something that you simply cannot buy even on your on website.

Personally, I want to go out of my way to express the sincere appreciation for giving members here that opportunity to win (actually TWO people will win) a prize that - at least for now - is not even fully defined because it includes things that you have not even announced yet. Now, frankly - you _might_ know, but you probably can't be absolutely certain exact;y what else they can win, except that unless you happen to know exactly what Legend PCC will get to you for distribution before the end of calendar year end 2016 - which is just freaking impossible!

Now, before I approved this to be allowed here, I also disqualified myself from entering. It's not like I wouldn't want to win one of these two prizes, but - for the sake of fairness - I don't even want to be considered even _IF_ I were to hazard a guess at how many decks you think you have in inventory "in-house" at one particular moment. The fact is, you are likely the only person in the world that even has a clue just how many decks you have in stock available for sale (or _do_ you? :lol:)...

Thanks again, it just goes to prove the fact that not only does being a member here insure that you hear about things first, you also get the opportunity to win something that nobody else can.

Hey Paul,

First of all, I would like to thank you for the awesome opportunity! JP definitely sets the bar for Playing Card Shops! :ugdance:

Anyways, I just wanted to clarify the above statement...does it mean that we can enter in a guess a day, but only the last guess posted will be the one that is considered our guess? Or does every one of our guesses count?

Thanks!
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

Maybe just a little confusing I suppose (I'm answering "out of turn" - Paul, jump in and knock me in the back of the head if I misunderstood).

Sherman, the last vote you cast is the only one that counts. I think the idea was to let people somewhat 'converge' on the quantity of decks Paul had in the shop at the time he announced the contest - the 'target' (sum of decks available) is NOT a moving target, but you can modify your guess until the contest ends, with the only caveat being that only your last valid entry counts (i.e. if you enter after the time expires, that vote will NOT count). Did I get that right, Paul? That's the way I understood it.

Thanks Paul - so excited to be one of the two winners - I PM'd you.
So generous and I'm stoked to add these to my collection (and had already ordered a split brick and a few other Luxx decks before knowing I won - woot!). Hope your new deck is a huge success and look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Thanks so much, Paul - the giveaway prize arrived today and I went from a LUXX newbie (pre-ordered a brick of Elliptica and some Palme) to part of the family / fanatics. Excited to see what you come up with next - love the Mandala preview!
