I am lucky enough to set myself rules, not to go after prototypes and uncuts, otherwise I would bid on these beauties like there is no tomorrow. Sorry for your loss.
Hahaha. Lucky, indeed! I can say I've had my fill now, so if I do ever get back into the luxury game, I may well have the same luck as you, lol.

Extremely surprised to see my name get mentioned lol. It's not my fault I'm so familiar with Lotrek decks and their values! I'm just a thorough researcher by nature. I saw these listings and yeah all those uncut sheets, tucks and the prototype deck are complete unknowns so nobody can really say what they're worth. I'm sure a few will be happy to pick up a treasure or two and lighten their bank account in the process
I really do hope all this stuff brings as much joy to others as it has brought me! Money comes and goes. Lotrek stuff this rare, though? Even being able to temporarily own it has been worth the price(s) for me. =)
Sorry to hear you're going through a similar time, man. Hopefully your collection stays safe! I'm still grateful for the few things I obtained from you over time. And, yes, that Grotesk Silver Bronze is just such an astonishing deck. I'm seriously puzzled by why it isn't considered in the same breath as ICONS Reverse -- especially among those who are primarily tuckists! But anyway, we've both already beaten this horse in other threads, lol.

I'll take a look, my friend. Sorry to hear you are in a position to have to part with any of these. I am always so awed by your collection and your taste.
Thanks for the kind words, man; I really appreciate it! It is certainly a bummer, but life ebbs and flows and I discovered a really fun hobby that's full of super-cool people. I'll definitely still collect, but not mainly luxury (I did sign up for Lotrek's Patreon because I really want to support his work still and end up with some decks that I can hopefully keep my hands on). As for his back catalog, I certainly satisfied my curiosity and inner completionist, lol.
