How are you able to see how many have sold?

Like Einststein once said, "spooky action at a distance"

...Nah, he probably knows how many were originally released for sale and is tracking how many are still left.

The default amount is 10,000 decks. Enter in a purchase of 10,000 deck, the website will tell you how many decks are available. Subtract from 10,000.

:lol: I thinks it’s actually more like Schrödinger’s squirrel. Imagine a crazy squirrel in a box with a hoard of poison Lotrek decks…

Hmmm…I’m not sure this method is accurate. I bought 2 decks after you posted that 247 had sold. When I tried this afterward, it said 248 had sold.

Did you forget to take the integral of the sold decks mapping function over the interval of 0 to 10,000? I think you can then do a linear regression of orders and quantity ordered. Where they intersect gives you the remaining decks. Sorry, I forgot that part. :)

Now it says 246 sold using that method - perhaps bounced or cancelled orders cause the fluctuation, or perhaps we are looking for a black cat in a dark room

In the past, I have witnessed it update instantaneously at times and delayed other times. It's not a surefire method but it's the closest we've got.

The last two decks (Golden Rule Silk Edition & Golden Rule Patrons Test Print) were limited to how many were ordered and the final print run ended up being 280, so this feels accurate to me.

Going to have to miss these due to financial choices. But they did look amazing. Hopefully I can get some on resale for a decent price.

Maybe I should just wait and go for Qalif instead?

You can find Qalif now on the secondary market. These will be a completely different deck whose official name we don't know yet. I'm sure you'll have opportunity to purchase a deck close to cost when it's in our hands. Stay tuned.

This will be our first ever Lotrek deck, never had the pleasure of seeing one and we are very curious now. The hot foil techniques interest us and we want to study his deck, you never know if in the future we might try to do something like that!

Did anyone see how many decks the site said were sold before the buying window closed? Just curious to see if it will match up with what we end up seeing.

Last I had checked, it was 256. I'm guessing we'll see a final print run of 280 or less.
