I think the free shipping was a Christmas Day only special offer. It probably went back to the normal setup today.

I have wanted some cards with plaid backs for a while now, I just never got around to purchasing them. I already opened one that I will be using for card games.

Wow, that's a bust, all common decks, and it looks like the top of your plaid decks are dented......

It is the lighting. I just double checked the decks and they are fine. And yes they are common decks but I didn't have any of them prior to this purchase so it was an ok deal.

Yeah getting 3 of the same deck that no one wants for $6.
It´s the same as HOPC 12/12/12 bricks,they are getting rid of overstockings.The difference is HOPC clearly stated what you can expect and they named numbers plus you didnt get 3x the same deck.
Can´t wait to see what $&$ err D&D are coming up with the next time.... :?

I do agree getting three of the same deck is a bit of a bummer.

I agree that it's a bummer. However, I think it makes more sense with the way the twins did this sale. HOPC prepacked bricks with no duplicates. I actually won one in a contest and got several decks I didn't previously own. The twins, from what I've can tell, wrapped the chosen decks individually, then randomly distributed them in the orders. I doubt they had a plaid pile or a fultons pile, etc. While it's still a bummer, it's part of how they sold these decks. I'm still waiting for my six decks to ship, but I'll post what I get when they arrive.

I do and don't like that I got 3 plaids. I try to buy 2 of every deck I want, 1 to open and inspect, and the other to leave sealed for my collection. If I get a deck that I really like or that I feel would be neat to use to play games then I'll pick up a third deck. I only have a few decks that I use regularly for card games and I wanted a plaid deck for that purpose.

i actually ended up getting three but the other one was just another plaid :/ although i did get what i wanted, an ivory fultons casino(i really wanted a red one tho), im kinda dissapointed...but it was only 6 bucks so i cant complain too much

but what i AM dissapointed in is that it took untill just NOW to get it. granted they said theyll be here the 2nd, but still.


btw, does anyone REALLY like the plaids? worst design ever imo

I can't believe you said that. Plaids are a classic retro design.
I love them, and you sir... are just wrong... imo ;)

i dont care what people say Vintage Plaid is amazing. And you cant fully appreciate its uniqueness unless you have them in your hands. Plus it is one of the best deck that ive handled, ever. but yeah three of the same color is a little bummer.

i dont know, the plaids just feel more uninspired than retro and they handle the same as any other dan and dave deck out there to me. now when it comes to good retro design im loving the look and feel of the fultons casino...i like how they put all these different marks onto every card and how they resemble wynns/jnugs (though they feel nothing like them)

but it might just be that i dont like the whole 'cards that came out of my grandmas cribbage set' look...but at least they feel good and i knock that deck off my 'to get' list lol

Actually they said they would SHIP on the 2nd. And yes, I'm in the group whose order says "still processing".

I got my order from them yesterday. I only got one mystery deck and it was an Aladdin 1001. Luckily I didn't have one of those, but on the other hand I didn't have one because they are pretty basic. Oh well.

Bought a dozen to better my chances.
That ... did not work. Such is gambling. :(

Funny thing though... the decks were packaged (beautifully) with slight differences.
See picture for color and "string or no string" variations.

I laid them out in the same order after opening so you can see what came from what package.

Looks like a LOT of plaids so far getting dumped off. Glad I did not go in on this, although I think the concept is kinda fun

After seeing what you got guys I'm not interested anymore

I faired a bit better than most it seems. Three Plaid, 1 Ohio Arrco, 1 Rouge Reprint and 1 Orange Fulton's Casino. Overall I'm happy with what I got. I'll use the plaids for card games :)
