I thought the BOMBMAGIC (Bomber PCC) custom decks were from this factory, and they don't go through Legends or Expert. And weren't the Fat Boys produced at the same factory?gotmagic wrote:What I mean is if someone wants a custom deck of cards made(other than casinos) they have to go through either expert or legends playing card co.

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
I received my light blue Glamor Nuggets decks from Got Magic and I am really happy with these cards. These cards fan so smoothly I'm amazed that they are not USPCC cards. I like the color. For my magic, I like the standard faces. I will be able to mix the cards with other decks to do color-changing back tricks. I think they could have worked a little more on the ace of spades and jokers, but they fit in with the rest of the cards. Aside from the very high price, I am very satisfied with this deck.
I forgot to mention that they faro beautifully from the faces to the backs - or bottom to top for me. I am no faro master, but these weave together so smoothly I was actually impressed.

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
Hello,
these cards are really mystery to me ..
Some people have sets of different colors, other have limited edition, blue was easy to find but now completely sold out, and nobody really seem to know who are producing these.
Yes, it is a lazy project but they feel quite nice and as a lover of Golden Nugget I like the design.
But do you know where to find these limited edition ? or sets ?
Thanks

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
I believe (not 100%) that the producer is a Card Shop in China (EPCS) who had the decks printed in Taiwan.
On August 29th, EPCS began sales of all four colors (blue, red, orange and brown) of the Glamor Nuggets as well as 432 limited edition sets through their website,limiting 2 sets per customer...the sets were sold out within 4 hours of release. The individual colored decks (I think that there were another 200+ available of each color) were just sold out this past weekend.
Though I don't believe that there will be another opportunity to get a limited edition set (except through secondary markets like eBay), I am sure that they will release the other colors to the retailers that have the blue decks. From earlier in the post, you can also see that they might release 2 more colors(black and purple), which would be nice, but I haven't seen or heard anything about them yet.

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
Lazy. Yup.
But well thought through, the old shiny nugget.
Constructed rarity.
Some few are given out exclusively, so that most, o dear, miss out.
(Others have some ! Why not me ?!!)
Desire thwarted.
Limited availability ?
The numbers produced are vast but selectively drip fed.
The reserve stockpiled for the active desirability built into chasing false numbers.
Ignored, they have nothing !
( yes, that select few being the only winners. woopee. )
Such is the way of profiteering.
The most chase the least.
The least drip favors, but you must want, must have, that which is not.
Pyramid Selling.
The least need the most as a base.
If the base does not exist, is removed, the least fall, and fail !
O dear.
Not.
So, if you wish to climb the pyramid .... buy in.
If not, stand back and watch the spectacle as humanity chases its tale.
Lies. Distractions. Trumpifications. Fakery. Showmanship. Sleight of hand.
Fun and Games. Gloss and Shine. The Shimmer in the Dark.
Ooo, Shiny !
Last one left !

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
Thanks for the details
It's funny that they might become as expensive as 40 year old real Golden Nugget which have a finish that will never be reproduced
Hard to be a collector : i should not care about them but I can't stop myself wishing to buy some ..

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
That's what the entire edifice stands on, why my post reveals nothing new.
Whole enterprises exist via sound, thought, expectations, perceptions real, perceptions imagined, all constructed to make you think it was inherently your idea in the first place.
All because of that missing thing in your life.
Or that one.
Or this. Those.
O.
And these little beauties ....
Build #00000000000000000000002.
Never mind the quality .... feel the width !

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
I like Glamor Nuggets decks, but the pink is to bright imo (like pink Fontaines....)
I'm not sure about backing this Project, maybe i wait for the aftermarket.
Does someone know more about the creator ?
In their Kickstarter description you can see this:
"The EPCS was founded in 2009 and now it is the most time-honored and professional producer of luxury, designer playing cards and magic props
EPCS features quick update and various products
We want to ensure one thing at EPCS and that is our customers, are happy."
Never heard of them before...... or did i miss something ?
Somehow i'm a bit confused about this Glamor Nugget decks.
Art of Play still sells most of the original colors but in the product description they say:
Limited Edition of 1,000. Due to copyright restrictions these will not be re-printed.
https://www.artofplay.com/products/glamor-nugget" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Why going to Kickstarter when there are copyright restrictions ? or is this just a marketing thing by Art of Play ?

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
If you think it stops here with pink and (another) black, you are crazy. They haven't even started on multi-color decks yet, look at the dual color designs on top from the Golden Nugget decks that they are probably working on right now:

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
Are the Glamor Nuggets and Golden Nuggets done by the same people?
I checked out the Kickstarter. If I could pledge just for the foil one, I would be in. But I can't, so meh. Pass for me.

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
They are not. Glamor Nuggets are a "tribute deck" to the classic Golden Nuggets. I have no idea who designed the classic (the credit would probably entirely go to whoever designed the Casino's logo)PrincessTrouble wrote:Are the Glamor Nuggets and Golden Nuggets done by the same people?

Re: Glamor Nugget Limited Edition Playing Cards
Hermon Boernge was the artist who designed the iconic Golden Nugget sign whose image was used as the company logo and printed on the cards sometime around 1961-1965.shaitani wrote:They are not.
