A few more Elaine’s procured and on the way:

Alice Millennium
Great War Transformation
Kings, Knights and Dragons
Napoleonic Transformation
Once Upon a Time Transformation
Titanic Transformation (sadly this one didn’t make it - turned out to have been already sold)

No idea what the Titanic deck looks like, haven’t seen much of the Once Upon a Time, Great War or Napoleonic - eagerly awaiting their arrival…

So incredibly jealous of your Elaine Lewis decks. I have a few and would love to get more but I have a hard time pulling the trigger for what they are going for. I do have something of hers that you may not have. She designed a menu for the IPCS annual convention in 2017.

I had added it to my have list as I had no intent on letting it get away, and now it has been gotten, and no small feat it was - market for these is getting harder to find bargains in, to put it mildly…. the Coney Island deck:

Don't you worry. I am not getting any Elaine decks that Gandalf doesn't already have, but I'll probably be very picky and choosy when it comes to Elaine's decks :ugthink: (or is this a lie I tell myself to pretend I have a level of self-control). :uggrin:

There was an auction a couple of years ago that had so many of her decks. I regret not being more aggressive and getting more of them.

Yeah, that's where my #1 Alice in Wonderland originally came from, and then the next seller sold it for a $140 profit.

Whoever put those decks on auction had multiple #1s...I wonder if it was Elaine herself.

I ran across this list of Elaine Lewis decks in the Sept. 2019 issue of Clear The Decks -- there are a lot more than I realized :shock:

I did not know she was still making decks. How does one go about ordering one, if still possible?
