I am almost certain that PayPal sent shipping / tracking advice when I printed each label with postage, but if you are amongst the recipients and did not get email with the tracking number, please let me know and I will send you the tracking number(s) either here in PM or by email.

T-Shirts to be delivered overseas or in Canada all went "First Class".
Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
I started early this morning and finished after about 3 1/2 or 4 hours packing. All t-shirts and these decks were packed, postage printed and ready for drop-off 27 packages at the post office Monday morning. Since everything domestic is shipping Priority Mail, and all of the 30 Vladislav Erko decks overseas as well, those should be delivered Wednesday & Thursday in the US, and the few going overseas should be delivered in about ten days to two weeks. Oddly enough, the ones to Slavich in the Czech Republic let me print postage directly instead of requiring me to post and pay in person this time. I don't recall seeing anything about this changing, but I printed both First Class and Priority Mail International labels for Czech delivery this morning.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
Pretty much a cross-posting of what I said in the UC Charter Member t-shirt promotion thread, but everything hit the post office before 11AM this morning, and all decks went Priority Mail (and International). The domestic ones should arrive Wednesday or Thursday - no later than Friday. Canada and overseas should arrive in ten days to two weeks.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
Got my deck of Pekelna Harugv today, well packed. Thanks again for organizing this Mike. I am quite disappointed in the deck though, it's a reprint and we all knew that, I was just hoping for a little better quality. Overall I am glad I have the deck even if it is a replica, because the originals are well beyond the price I'm willing to pay for a stack of paper so it was the only way I was going to get it.
I also found it interesting to compare all the differences between the original and this reprint which I documented in P52. Thanks to WillHart CthulhuWho1 for his comparison images (http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php ... 14&p=87378).

This entry is for the reprint of the original deck that have a modified tuck, standard bridge size with a new simpler back (from the artist's Alice in Wonderland work for some strange reason) and uses basic plastic coated paper stock compared to the original which were a larger size (2.767" X 4.130") and features the original card back and thumb slot tuck. The manufacturer was originally Nage Cards (http://www.nage-cards.ru), but it can not be confirmed who printed this reprint. Likewise, the reprint states the year 2012, but it is assumed the actual print date was later, perhaps as late as 2015.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
I was definitely not expecting that back. At first I thought it was an additional joker...until I spread the rest of the deck.
Thanks Mike for organizing this, very well packaged and fast shipping

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
It kind of threw me as well, since the second print is from Nage Cards as well. The first deck is even stranger with two different tucks and a third oversized edition.Eoghann wrote:I was definitely not expecting that back.

All of the first prints go for $60+ and the "Tavern" Taras Bulba (reddish tuck) goes for $80 - when you can find it. I have one, but it's the only Russian printed deck I have seen that has cellophane, so it's unopened. It is slightly larger, but not much.
Glad to see the postal service actually delivered most of these in two days, as advertised!

I'm new to the forum (and to collecting) and was wondering if you by any chance ordered extra of these decks that I can buy from you. If so, can you please pm me?

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
Just keeping up with the current pricing, we all did pretty well: assuming that you got all three decks for $100, the original ("Taras Bulba") now goes for around $40, Pekelna Harugva is $85-$90 (when you can find it) and the Cossacks 1494 deck about $30.
Roughly $155-$160 total eighteen months later. The first deck is hard to find even though the second deck seems to be selling for twice as much, it is usually find-able if you try. I didn't figure out shipping, so it's actually a bit more.
Beautiful decks, and so far I am not aware of Vladislav doing another.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
Especially in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, these lovely decks by Ukrainian designer Vladislav Erko deserve more eyes seeing them. So I'll bump this thread and include some more pictures of his designs.
Korchma Taras Bulba (2005)
This particular deck is based on authentic traditional Ukrainian costumes, including traditional tools and musical instruments. Ironically, it was produced for a restaurant in Moscow. The restaurant is called "Korchma Taras Bulba", and specializes in traditional Ukrainian cuisine. Korchma means "tavern" in Ukrainian, and the name "Taras Bulba" is taken from the chief character and Ukrainian folk here of a historical short story written in 1885 by Nikolai Gogol, and originally published in Russian.
These playing cards were first created in 2005, and a second edition in 2011 had modified suit symbols.
Pekelna Horugva (2012)
His second deck in 2012 was called "Pekelna Horugva", and is a bit darker in tone, but also captures some ethnic and nationalist themes.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
I used to see them pop up at Ebay from regular Russian/Ukrainian sellers about 2 years ago. Sadly nothing recently. Missed them as funds were tight back then due to the pandemic.
The only place I can find them for sale is from here: https://artcol.ru/en/cards/classic/g03557
I tried contacting them, but got a response that the owner was on vacation . Never got a response and been too busy to follow up till I saw this. If he does respond, let me know how it goes.

Re: Anyone want Vladislav Erko (Ukrainian) decks?
Just a quick few good words for artcol. I've bought 2 or 3 reproductions from him - he always got the decks out quickly and packed carefully for the long journey to the states, and the reproductions were well done (Average time getting here (California) about 14 days - don't take that for granted tho.).Eric Lee wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 5:22 amI used to see them pop up at Ebay from regular Russian/Ukrainian sellers about 2 years ago.
