A list of *rare* decks?

[Close-Up Expert]

Hey all...I'm trying to start getting a small collection of rare or special decks. So far I have:

Jerry's Nugget
Golden Nugget's
Absolut Vodka
1st Ed. Guardians
1st Ed. 1800 series

And a deck that Darwin Ortiz used in his lecture that he gave to me. Just wondering if there are anymore rare or special decks out there?

Thanks!
Steve

You did not mention the Black Ghost deck, but you might not consider it "rare."

Rare is such a vague term, I say "rare," you say "ra-re." According to the Merriam-Webster World International College Student Dictionary, "r-a-r-e" embodies ...

Hey, can you tell me about the Absolut Vodka deck? e.g. quality, feels...

I know that it has been in the teaser of Dan and Dave, but I couldn't find any other descriptions in the internet..

Get some Black Ghosts?
Maybe a deck of Shadow Masters (IF they come out and IF they turn out to be real/ any good)

 

[cbols23]

the tom foolery deck


after that try to get another one of each, so you can use one and save one maybe to sell

the original steamboats, texans and safety back are quite rare

 

[conjure_pitch]

Black ghosts, and orignal steamboats are the main ones you missed. They are of course already mentioned though.

You forgot Aladdin 1001 playing Cards

These are pretty rare

Dan & Dave Buck use them and so do the Virtuoso to

Great Flourishing Cards..hard to find in the U.S. but easy to find in Singapore

 

[Farrell]

Half the cards listed here aren't rare and I could get off the internet within 10 minutes. Seriously guardians aren't rare as they aren't old enough to be rare , I could walk to a shop now and get aladdin 1001's. And if you are talking about bicycle safety backs anyone could get those.

The Black Ghost deck & Shadows might not be rare for long.

The Absolut vodka decks aren't super rare I guess, since I just got on ebay and bought one and nobody else even bid on it or cared about it...

anyways the finish isn't good for fanning but for DBsquared flourishing, it's really unusual and great, the cards are so SOFT for some reason. oh yeah and the faces are fugly too but damn, the deck feels nice.

*sigh* steve simmons, if you are truly interested in learning about rare decks, I recommend googling as many links as you can, there is truly a MOUNTAIN of information. also, check out decknique.net as there are a couple very knowledgeable members, however they aren't active anymore but you can search through their old posts.

and finally here's a really good link of some extremely weird (rare? i dunno) playing cards: "death by drugs" is probably my favorite set.

Not much. I sold two of them for just what I paid for them. They are a specialty deck that were improved upon, according to some, in the 2nd edition release of the vintage decks.
