P/S : bought decks from Andy, good service.. thanks Andy.. :P .. ALSO, IF you feel like donate to my collection, PM me for my PayPal acct.. or send me a deck which is out of my colelction(there definately lot of) kihkihkihkih...
Andy - May 31, 2005 02:47 AM (GMT)
Thanks afoi for the good comments :)
Glad you like the decks
Drop me a PM if anyone is interested in buying or having a quote for the baby blue, pink decks, tactical decks at reasonable prices.
I can get a pair of Golden Nuggets (1 Black & 1 Red) if anyone is interested but wont be cheap due to its rarity. Might hit close to SGD80-90 per deck (inclusive of shipping) cos I am selling on behalf of a US friend and he only has a pair left. IMO not very worth it (haha cos I don't earn anything :P ) but if you wanna have a piece of history or handle these cool cards or just add them to your collection, do drop me a mail. They are both still sealed and in their cellophane.
You can pay me thru money order or paypal. but paypal would be slightly higher to cover the costs they deduct from the transaction which usually amounts up to 3.7 percent of the total amount sent.
But of cos, you would have to pay for shipping which honestly wont amount to much especially if you consolidate and order in bulk. Products will be guaranteed to be in Mint condition. I do not cheat my customers so buy with confidence.
Let me know what and how many u need and we can negotiate ^_^
thanks for the support!!
Cheers! B)

so far, i opened Gemaco black , baby blue bike , 4 color deck ... plan to EXPLORE with the tactical deck tonight.. but.. hmm...
Andy - May 31, 2005 04:32 AM (GMT)
Hey afoi! Feel Free to open the tacticals. All of them too if u need. You can always get more you know ;)
Gemaco stock is very stiff. The green and the black decks are very smooth and stiff. IMO great for flourishes due to the stiffness. But doesnt fan that well tho.
ChongWei - May 31, 2005 05:51 AM (GMT)
check the list i attached in email and try if u can make it.. :P
Brendan Low - May 31, 2005 06:31 AM (GMT)
wow!!! an awesome collection of card u have there AFOI!!! wow...
gosh.... how much u spent? must be v expensive eh? ehehe :P
yesterday only i started playing vigorously with my black tiger decks... heehe... last time i tot i just keep in boxes... but WTH now i just flourish with them. no use buy and just let it collect dust unless they are super dupa rare. but still decks are meant to be used...
:P

ChongWei - May 31, 2005 06:37 AM (GMT)
yea.. but you tell me to open the 80's olympic deck? not at the moment.. unless... i manage to get 50's deck.. LOL
Brendan Low - May 31, 2005 06:41 AM (GMT)
hehe.. i always try to get two of each so i can use one and the other i keep. but that will cost me heaps man.. lol... so sometimes i just open just to have a look and main main sikit and then store it back... lol

ChongWei - May 31, 2005 06:44 AM (GMT)
i would normally get 1r1b .. and maybe another extra to play with.. but it certainly cost more.. been thinking to just to keep one deck of each kind... anyway... might do another bulk purchase soon.. anyone interested?
Andy - May 31, 2005 06:50 AM (GMT)
guys, you can purchase deck seals and then seal the decks back. Althou they will no longer be in their plastic cellophane but its betta than nothing. I used it to seal back my ACed Alladins lol ;)
a guy by the nick of illusionist in SMC is selling the USPC deck seals at SGD$7 for 20 stickers. Since its light, shipping is not a problem. Its a bargain! try contacting him if u are interested. Let him know i recommended you lol :lol:
Cheers!
Brendan Low - June 2, 2005 06:49 AM (GMT)
my box also all koyak and all already so i dont see the point of sealing back a used deck. unless ur deck is like used and ya box is still crispy shaped. :P
my box not really in good shape. so.... hehe
ChongWei - June 17, 2005 05:50 PM (GMT)

ChongWei - June 18, 2005 02:31 AM (GMT)

Students Eric Ng (left) and David Lai take their cards and magic tricks seriously.Afoi's collection also cool.
I'm presently into RM1.50 fake Bicycles. Strangely, they fan rather well.
Kam - June 20, 2005 11:39 AM (GMT)
I have Dragon Ball and Street Fighters cards. Do they count?
ChongWei - June 20, 2005 12:34 PM (GMT)
hah.. dok.. those "shinny" one? yea... would interested in seeing david's collection..
30210162 - June 20, 2005 04:40 PM (GMT)
I have some UpperDeck basketball cards, and some pirated Pokemon cards.
Afoi - you want? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Brendan Low - June 21, 2005 12:16 AM (GMT)
i just got a whole bunch of second hand cards from my aunt. hehe...
there were some good quality cards such as Alladins, and they are still crisp butcant fan hehe... lol.. normal for NON-AC Alladins. Great for cuts and displays. THeir colours are much more striking.
Other brands were the famous King of Gamblers cards which also cannot fan one. I realised that even though its poker size, its a pinch smaller... like 1-2mm than normal poker size cards. they are ok for flourish cuts... eaier a lil i guess due to a pinch smaller in size.
THen we have the JAWS, which is USPC but its like plastic coated kinda stuff. they fan ok.... it has the thick body kinda feelling... i cant do WTHHTS with that coz will stuck at the revolution part, finger will get caught due to the friction. hehe.
yay.... im so happy... now i got a bunch of alladins... i will use them for flourish. i think they are cool. i just gotta powder them if wanna fan. :P. I dunno if i wanna perform magic using alladins or not. they are much stiffer for sure.... i like it easier to do some sleights but eesssh cant fan!!! so... yeah maybe ill just stick to bikes.
anyone here use alladins? Its kind of Spore's choice of playing cards. I dunno if Msia sells them, but i think in spore u can get them for S$3 or S$3.50 at Golden Landmark.
Cheers!

ChongWei - June 21, 2005 01:05 AM (GMT)
good for you Brendan..

uhhmm... I guess this is some "pirated" deck right ? cos i have some so called "USPC" deck as well.. but the quality is.. uhhm... sucks ? (if compare with bike,bee, any USPC deck)
Brendan Low - June 21, 2005 02:31 AM (GMT)
yeah JAWS sucks!!! i dunno if they are fake or not. they dont have the USPC sticker.
I use to use JAWS quite alot when i first began magic. its ok for simple card magic.... but yeah the quality really sux. lol....
now my top three favs are, bikes, tally hos and alladins. :)
