Good call, updated the holo seal decks as seperate items. Unsure about the x/x values, perhaps this is just total print run? Numbers were provided by Randy Butterfield, but I can edit the ammount or remove the value if we are unsure.

Good call, I have never actually looked at the Knowledge Base forum, I will have to look around over there. Mods feel free to move the [Buyer's Guide] threads if you feel it's appropriate

This is an amazing list that shows a wide range of talents and diverse skills in design! Using the latest numbers for the print quantities of all the decks he's made so far (which I got directly from Randy), I did the math and discovered that by my count he has produced around 93,000 decks of cards already! By the end of the year that should easily exceed over 100,000 decks, which is a tenth of a million! That's a staggering, for which he deserves to be congratulated! Well done Randy, and keep up the great work!

Given what this thread is about, I'll also share links to a four-part series of extensive pictorial reviews that I just published, which feature virtually the entire catalogue of decks that Randy has designed so far:

Part 1: The ORNATE series

Part 2: The Imperial series and Draconian series

Part 3: The Bowl-a-rama series and Grinders series

Part 4: The Ancient Rome series, and other decks

For the Rome Decks, there are also the toga sleeves, which I think were limited to 600 quantity each for Anthony and Caesar decks. Also, there were guilded versions of Anthony and Caesar, which were limited to 60 decks each.

I had a local holiday show today, so I got caught up in doing inventory and numbers afterwards. I was also curious at how much the numbers have changed since I last totaled up the different Decks and their print quantities. I guessed low (2500 each) at the print quantities for the Honeybee Elites and Bicycle Inspire Decks, so I’m not certain about those.

I didn’t even realize it passed over the 200,000 number for printed Decks! I’m definitely proud of passing that milestone!

Thanks, Randy
