Japanese themed old 100 % custom Grimaud starting bid for 10 €. The seller claims that the deck is unopened, but I'm not certain about that, might be that the deck is opened but in perfect condition. Still not a bad price for a good looking deck.

Jeu des Cartes 1900 with 23 hours to go, 1 bidder currently at 6,50 €. The seller claims it's in new condition, not sure if that means in celleophane or never played. Still, at that price shouldn't matter, one of the most underrated decks in the market IMO.

Jeu des Musiciens for 49,99 €. Used but the cards seem to be in good condition. Tuck box seems to have taken some hits. Jeu des Musiciens seems to be pretty rare and definitely among finest decks Grimaud has put out, put that price is a bit steep. I am currently looking for one that I can give as a gift to my mother, but not at that price. Still, sharing this if someone really wants it...

I didn't absolutely had to have this one, so I was going to buy it if nobody else was going to, but I'm glad that it went to somebody on this forum. I don't know if you use Portfolio52, but I would appreciate it if you could add it to the database once it arrives and you find the time :)

Slavic Mythology deck designed by Mila Losenko who did the Slavic Special deck. Published by Az Art, who also published the Transsiberian Express deck. This appears also to be a limited print of 300 decks, I don't know if another version of this deck exist the designers Behance page suggests that it does not. The courts look GREAT, back is quite meh. Price is quite high and there are 4 days left on the auction with 1 bidder.

Funny story... that's actually my bid. The first listing expired while I was still waffling over the price, and in typical-me fashion it was then I decided I really did have to have it. I actually messaged Dmitry to get him to relist it. He did seem to suggest there might (eventually?) be a second printing:
I`m relist, only for you request)
This is one of the last decks of the
first edition
thanks

TL;DR bid if you really want it but you will make my wallet sad :cry:

Don’t get me wrong but this thread seems really backwards to me. Lol. The title attracts a bunch of people who are looking for deals and then puts everyone against each other. It’s almost better to keep the deals a secret! Haha.

Venice Simplon-Orient Express deck for 150 USD. A sealed deck, but without a box. This is one of the best designed decks ever IMO. Shipping from NYC.

Edit: I thought that I shared this as I know that it's rare (?) and seriously beautiful, but I got to be honest here, I have no idea if that 150 USD is overpriced, underpriced or in the ballpark. If anyone knows more about how much these usually go for, please let me and everyone reading this thread know! (*cough* Jase *cough*)

Roope has asked me to show my decks and answer the above question.
The value of a deck is how much someone is willing to pay for it... that being said the Indiennes Deck i`ve seen listed as buy me now or on retail sites usually are in the £80-£150 ballpark.. but i`ve seen packs listed for much much higher. You could get lucky like me and find them on auction for much much less, i got each of my sets for around £40-£50 each.
Venise Simplon Orient Express Double Set, Indian.jpg
I know of three different designed decks produced for the Venise-Simplon Orient Express. The first one was printed by Grimaud in 1985, this one is basically a reprint of an earlier Grimaud deck from 1890 titled "Cartes Indiennes" but have indices added. the set comes in a 2-part slide in box and have gilded corners (A common practice with European manufacturers).
Venise Simplon Orient Express Double Set.jpg
The second set also printed by Grimaud was produced in 1986, this set comes in a velvet lined leatherette clamshell box with the V.S.O.E logo on the lid. the custom courts depict passengers in 1920/30`s style clothing.
Scans of all the court cards from both the above sets can be seen on Page 2 of the france section in "Woldwide"
Venice Simplon Orient Express Double Set In Clamshell Box (0380).jpg
the third set produced in 1990 has no makers information anywhere on the pack, and various sources have it listed by either Waddingtons or Grimaud. I have nothing concrete to suggest either one. Like the above set this one came in a clamshell box with the V.S.O.E logo on the lid

Another copy of the above set but with different back design, This set came in a clear plastic box. Scans of the courts on this set can be seen in the Englsnd section of "worldwide" on Page 3.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Jock1971 - thanks for your post and photos. I did find a nice link with more information on these decks:

http://www.wopc.co.uk/france/grimaud/ve ... nt-express

There is a link from this deck to the other version.

I also was checking around on decks for sale and they are quite a bit higher. I saw a single deck of the 1985 version on ebay for $150 and a double deck set of the 1985 version for $250 on the Ruby Lane website. That website has some nice decks for sale, but are rarely cheap.

Waddingtons Shakesperan Playing Cards starting bid 2,10 USD, shipping from Hong Kong. The deck is opened and in plastic container, but seems to be in very good condition and it is a quite a nice looking deck. Printed in the UK in the 90's. I would imagine that you can win this by paying that 2,10 dollars, shipping to Finland is only 8,50 USD. That's not that bad of a price for a nice looking deck.

Toscana by Cavallani & Co starting bid 13,90 USD, a bit less than 10 hours to go. This is a GORGEOUS Italian transformation deck, I would buy this one but the seller won't ship to Finland.

I am literally mad if someone doesn't snatch this one up, especially with that price.

ALSO

Giocosa by Cavallani & Co. Another gorgeous deck, this one from a different seller, starting bid at 45 USD with over 3 days to go however. Still a great looking deck, although for not so good of a price as the upper one.

Edit: 45 minutes left on that Toscana deck. Like I said, I am literally mad if someone doesn't buy it, that gorgeous of a deck and with that price? C'MOON! I paid about 3 times more for my Toscana deck and I still think that that was a fair price!
