Bicycle J Crew Collector Sets

[Stepchild]

You never know what will be the method of finding something rare that you're after...

This one time, I found a limited, sold-out-at-source card accessory (it was a limited edition deck box), mentioned in a YouTube video. Anyhow, I got in touch with the guy who put up the video and asked him about it. Turned out he was willing to part with it at the original sale price -- pretty cool!

That guy?

Victor.

Just saying.

Yes he shared information but only AFTER he got himself and on decks no one else will likely be able to find.

Maybe I have some issues with it but I'm not the only one with issues here.

Who says he didn't share this with select folks way before he bought them. You have to be in the clique hehehe i love my Crew decks

That was cold...

Thanks, now you got me wondering what deck that was!

Such a shit disturber.


About my collecting practices... (taken from another thread)



The conversation that is happening in this thread is why I post DRAMATICALLY less than I used to.
I'm going to put it as point blank as possible... the feeling of entitlement some of you have sometimes makes me sick.
Do you guys think it's just pure luck that I keep finding these rare decks? Do you think they just fall on my lap?
The answer is a huge "NO"

Over the last 6-7 years I've done the leg work to get these sources. I've sat on the computer for many MANY hours researching to find all these different decks I come across. I've made overseas calls, built relationships, kept in contact with people I've reached out to, and drop them a line from time to time to see what's new. I have a gauntlet of different searches I do everyday. I've put in huge amounts of time and effort to build my Bicycle collection with some of the rarest and hardest ones to find. The Suncity, Gold New Era, and others took me YEARS to track down. So, why should I just divulge the names of these people I've made relationships with?? If I did that, they would be inundated with messages from people looking for decks (even though most of them only have 1 to spare).
So, go out... put the time in, do the research... don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you.

I can completely relate to what you said above.

There is a very old book first published in 1936 titled.......umm...... "How to Win Friends and Influence People", and it is still relevant today

How dare you find this incredibly rare desirable deck and share a link for others to purchase!? Typical CBJ just sharing opportunities with the rest of us. Makes me sick!

Woah is that what they're selling for now? Good thing I picked mine up for £25.

Hey, now.

Everybody, please let's ease up on the insults. Disagreement is fine, but let's back off the insults.

Thanks.

Edit: obviously, this was not aimed at the post *immediately* above this one, but it's kinda funny when posts are logged in the wrong order.

Well it SHOULD be aimed at that post. $800!? I'm offended

I mean, I'm just occasionally here, but this is hilarious. What makes this even better is, that for me, this is one hell of an ugly deck. And just because it's rare or hard to come by, people want it so bad. GTFO, this is some serious face palm situation. I have my fits, too. I buy left and right, but it's for the cards I enjoy looking at or like to handle...
But then again, everyone likes different things
