Odd Bods - The Folio Deck by Jonathan Burton (also Art of Play reprint)

Unread post by Strag »

Came across this deck recently. It's a completely custom semi-transformational deck done for The Folio Society (a UK book club) and available only to members with purchase.

I really like the artwork on these and am going to be getting a pair quite soon.

You can find them on eBay on occasion, there is one set up selling for over £35 right now.

Well that's some good news, I love the original I have. For those newer members, there's another Folio Society deck out there but I'm brain farting on the name & artist because I'm in Vegas (not for the magic con) and its early.

This is the greatest news ever! I've had this on my wishlist for far too long and the few times I've seen it come up on ebay I lost out because I wasn't willing to pay a ton for them. Sweet!

FYI - one of the other well known decks from Folio Society is Clare Mackie that is also a bit wacky. There's a green and red set on ebay right now BTW. I had been watching for them, but I'm kind of over those now so unless they end up at 1/3 the price they are at I'll pass. Odd Bods however....

Got mine today, love it. Even though it's not the original white while that's been on my wishlist for a very long time I'm crossing it off. This will do just fine.

I gotta ask hsbc, do you find a deck and then check to see if the post exists, or do you browse old posts to find new decks you may have missed :)

Almost always I get a deck and then find the thread (or make one) when I take pictures :mrgreen: This one for instance popped up on eBay a few weeks ago so I grabbed it and here we are :D
