52+Joker 2020 Annual Deck by UUSI

[Mike Ratledge]

Didn't know this was an issue. Just making sure you got my payment, Mike. Feel better!

Paul, you''re good - no great since you sent me an extra buck or two today. I now hear it's $18 but I still won't know for another hour or two. I'm online watching right now.

[vasta41]

If I owe you more let me know. If I overpaid then just keep it. Consider it a finders fee. Or my lack of wanting to deal with another transaction.

I am a member of 52+J and can see the deck in the member section but it won't let me buy it. This is my first year as a member, am I doing something incorrectly? I checked all my emails from the convention from Lee and didn't see one to order the decks. Any help would be appreciated. TY

I'm guessing the deck will go "live" once it's been revealed at the 52+Joker convention later this evening.

Exactly right. That button will go "Live" here in about an hour or maybe less, now?

Anyone who is not already attending virtually is missing a great set of lectures and presentations!

Basically noon until 8 or so tonight and Friday & Saturday.

[Ice_Panda]

ahhhh that makes sense, thank you guys!~

[jerichoholic]

Still not available?

Still not available?

Peter is still talking. I expect within 15 minutes, now?

[Mike Ratledge]

I got a little bit of a headstart and grabbed a brick before the website crashed. I suppose it will get better, but for now it's giving nothing but 500 error.

Shipping was $15.25 for some reason, so about $1.20 each? Close enough. If there are other people who still want one, $40 for domestic / US delivery. I expect that I will be amongst the first to receive them, since I have order #2, but we'll see.

Adding a single deck (which MUST ship along with your first one!) is $32. Paypal is FriendOfUC@gmail.com

Actually, it appears that the website has been resurected? I suppose we'll see how that goes (somewhat - I get "Server Error 500" half the time now).

$450 shipping 1 deck to Australia? That's me out then....

[Harvonsgard]

Some screen grabs that show the deck for everyone that wasn't zoomed in:

EDIT: Nevermind. Mike beat me to it .

[Mooseweasel]

Cant believe its the 16th all ready where has the time gone? That should be my Payment sent let me know if there are any issues, and I will PM you my address etc...

[Fes]

Thanks for the pics.

$450 shipping 1 deck to Australia? That's me out then....

At least you got shipping options

[Mike Ratledge]

$450 shipping 1 deck to Australia? That's me out then....

Seriously? WTH? That makes zero sense. It might be $35 for a single deck, using PMI (Priority Mail International). Strange...

Now that the website seems to have resurfaced, I went back and got a few more (better?) pictures:

Yes, it has hot foil stamped interiors for the tucks... They are selling 900 ot 1000 printed, right now it looks like there are about 580 more available, so around 320 decks sold so far? Slightly more than 1/3 of those available in a little more than two hours. I suspect a good many more will sell before the next two nights are over and the convention draws to a close, especially since a lot of noise was coming out of the chat right after they were made available due to the website crashing with "500 Internal Server Error" over and over for about 15-20 minutes until I finally dropped the connection to the chat.

Yes, I tried multiple options from 1 to 12 decks, all were $450 to post.

In the end, I caved and have a few decks being shipped to a consolidator in the US. It's going to cost more than it should, but less than $450

EDIT: Just replied to Lee's e-mail. Hopefully, something can be done.

It is some error I think.

[bdawg923]

Back is nice but not a fan of the courts at all. They need to zoom out on them

[Ice_Panda]

I agree, this one is just not for me. I won't get it to get it. Rather have someone who really wants it to be able too

[sinjin7]

Uusi never disappoints. I personally like the courts and absolutely love the back design. It has an Aristocrat Banknote vibe.

[supernova]

I’m a big fan of Uusi decks, and have many of their decks - Pagan (of course), Bohemia, Classic, Blue blood redux and Brut.

Unfortunately, I feel this deck is not anywhere near as good. And at $30 plus shipping, it is really quite pricey.

[shermjack]

Please note that there is a 13 deck per order limit. If you try to order more than that, you will get a notice that your Shipping Adress is not valid and will not be able to place an order. You can place multiple orders, but only 13 decks at a time.

[Harvonsgard]

It has an Aristocrat Banknote vibe.

Definitely my thought as well.

I like that deck a lot. Uusi is somehow right up my alley. Except for Brut and Royal Optik all their decks are to my taste. Achieving that with multiple decks did no other designer (duo) manage to pull off for me. Only Lotrék is close but except for two or three decks he always leaves room to niggle .
The things I dislike are non-design related. I know that EPCC aka William has ironclad ties to 52+J so all of their (our) club deck are and most probably always will be EPCC printed in China. Do I like that, no. But it is what it is. The price is as well too high imo. But I guess I'm paying for the designer/event/club so I took that bullet.

I ordered this morning and international shipping for two decks to Europe was $13 and some cents so I guess that is fixed.

[shkorc]

Anyone from EU interested in purchasing, please let me know via PM.

Decks will be shipped directly to you so there's no splitting shipping which is already very reasonable.

Paypal friends in advance, I'm not making any comission.

[caniveski]

very Uusi, love those courts, pips, card back and tuck, managed to get this and a previous club deck, the Stutzman one

[Bradius]

I like the design. I get the issue with EPCC. I am sure the club gets a great deal from EPCC. I am not familiar with their finances, but I imagine this helps to fund the club if that helps folks deal with the cost. They sold over 400 before I got around to my order, which was like 2 hours after they went on sale. Now it is 500 sold, so half are gone, and that is with 1000 printed this year. Hopefully, all will sell soon and it will be a nice haul for the club. This is definitely a nice club deck. I had no idea there are 16 club decks..

I really love last year's deck. In fact, it is out on my desk right now.

[canogie]

Sorry I am late to the party, could I order a couple from you or anyone?

[Bradius]

canogie, I am a member and could order them for you. That might be best at this point as I could set it up to ship directly to you. You can PM me with your shipping information. The cost is $30 per deck, plus shipping. I think my shipping cost was like $11 domestic. I wish I could send you the PayPal invoice, but just reimburse me on PayPal will work. Again, just PM me.
