I've just been in touch with the lady at the USPCC who I've been talking to over the past couple of weeks to find out how much more it would cost to publish this deck on tally stock rather than bikes. I have designed an awesome custom rework of the tally box and having the deck on tally stock would add that extra prestige and appeal to the mechanics and deck collectors. Personally, I would love to print onto tallys, so I'll see what costs come back to me.
I await with baited breath, and will post my box design soon...

New Toys :-)
So the other day I ordered a few of the existing custom decks that are available to buy at the moment, and when I got in from work today they were waiting for me all nice and wrapped up ready for me to open like a kid at Christmas time!!
I ordered from the Card Collection at cards4magic.co.uk, a little place I have been buying my decks from since as long as I've been buying things over the internet. I wouldn't go anywhere else, they've always been great.
I ordered a deck of Sentinels; Karnivals; David Blaine Split Spades and black Tallys (the regular deck in black, not the inverted vipers). I also ordered two decks each of blue tally fans and red tally circles - just to treat myself (why not?).
First off, I was way disappointed to discover my Split Spades were inverted! I must have overlooked this detail when I purchased and I hate inverted decks! They just look wrong, and I was really looking forward to checking out the Split Spades as out of all the custom decks they represent the closest thing to a perfect balance between the new and the old: the fashionable and the classic, to me at least. Oh well!
I had a brief look at the Sentinels which I must say handled incredibly well and felt very heavy as a deck. Very nice.
First impressions of the Karnivals were so so, and I've already decided the black tallys aren't half as good as the blue or red decks.
I had to run straight out this evening and didn't get a chance to really check out the artwork and handle the different decks but soon as I do there'll be photos and critiques! Looking forward to getting to grips with these custom artwork decks, they're some pretty cool decks!
