I have a feeling that the price for this deck goes through the roof in a year or two if not sooner.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?
Are lobsters mermaids to scorpions?

I'd love to see some high quality pics of that color-gilding, in the one blurry pic it looks like parts of it have imperfections. Maybe due to handling?
Either way, they look really cool. If anyone here is picking up a batch for us UC members, put me down for 2.
Otherwise it looks like we can buy them online, this from their facebook:

The ombre edge is kind of cool, but it basically renders this a one-way deck. The more interesting thing for me in that picture is the $15.00 price tag on the Crimson and Cobalt MetalLuxe decks. I'd definitely stock up at that price.
I've attached a high-res photo. The decks is really awesome, love the colors, faces and cross fade. The color gilding does make it a bit more difficult to faro, but the deck handles well. Regarding the edge work, they did a great job achieving the crossfade. Must be newer technology to achieve this. Slight imperfections with the gilding, I'm assuming because of the matte finish ink. Edges feel more rough than that of a standard deck of bikes, but after a slightly longer than usual break in period they handle well. I'm happy to see USPCC trying new things!

If you ever decide to not want this deck anymore, I'll gladly take it off your hands

The way I see it, when decks like this are released they're not for everything- not being able to faro is a small price to pay IMO for such a cool gilding effect!

Yikes, that's expensive! Gotta have 'em though.
Actually it's $0.50 less than MSRP (3rd post in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10342#p120316" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
Yup, that's great. But even the MSRP is high in my opinion
