Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Come one, come all!

The time has come for me to sell an ICONS Imperial Reverse on behalf of an anonymous collector.

The price for the deck will be $2,000. The seller has determined this is the price required to feel comfortable selling the deck and based off the most recent sale being close to this amount.

Considering both parties are in the US, it would be preferred that the buyer also be in the US. If you are overseas, feel free to reach out nonetheless. Pics to come.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Once I receive the deck, I will also take a picture of it together with my own to document a situation that I'm not sure has happened since they left Lotrek's hands. It is possible that the seller may reveal themselves once the sale is complete to eliminate concern I might be scalping, but that will be at their discretion. Technically I'm buying from them and then selling without any profit, so they can remain anonymous.

I’m overseas but I’ll get it, if it’s ok with you.
I’ll go rob the bank while I wait for pics.

For some reason, I am quite sad when someone is looking for an opportunity to sell one of the most desirable decks for many, even if it is a comfortable price for him. Definitely if I ever decided to sell my collection, this one would be among the last ones I parted with. But it looks like it won't stay without a house for long - now jasonx73it is already determined. It was faster than I expected)

I did post late into the night for US folk, so I want to keep that in mind in case others are interested and want to have a fair shot. I'm not sure how a decision would be made if it's not first come first served, but I'll brainstorm unless others have ideas. I know Jason is looking for one but others have been looking for years.

While it can be sad especially when empathy kicks in and you imagine parting with your own deck, I imagine there are a variety of life circumstances, shifting priorities, passing on the torch, etc. that can warrant such decisions. We also all have certain decks that are probably in the "never part with" category, which can differ from person to person.

Well, it seems to me that at a price of $ 2000, the queue will not be very long. If, nevertheless, another potential buyer appears from the US, who will be given preference, it will be... regrettable. I don't think banks are easy to rob, so this needs to be taken into account. And what if the guy finds a US shipping address? I'm also not in the US and have had negative experiences even when I found a shipping address in the US specifically for a deal and was refused. It’s a lousy feeling

I share your feelings about being refused and I bet kevork is in a difficult position already cause there’s no easy way out if a choice has to be made. If I could I would take a plane and collect the deck personally

I have a US shipping address anyway, my cousin works in Houston and comes back in Italy for the holidays. I use him regularly for eBay auctions that ship US only and I never had any problem. Although I will feel safer with a worldwide renown carrier instead. But in the end it’s the seller’s decision and we gotta live with that even if in this case it might hurt a lot.

Having a family member in the US would definitely put you in a level playing field with others, and in that case, I'm comfortable with moving forward with a sale. I am asking the seller to confirm the deck is 52 + 3J + ad card. I'll outline the process to take place in due time.

Congrats to Jason, condolences to his wallet)

Well, here I’m not sure whether to condole or congratulate:D

Tell your wife that this is a gift to her)

Whatever you do, don't remind her how much she spends....

A little pit stop before the deck is sent off to the buyer. I thought I'd use the opportunity to take a picture that I'm not sure has been taken before.

Annnd... bdawg just killed me.

Kevork, be careful! Having two in the same place and time can create a paradox in the time-space continuum!

And, yeah, I doubt that's ever happened since the decks left Lotrek's workshop, and I doubt it will happen again any time soon.

Actually, I am fairly sure Specter had two Icon Reverse decks.

Due to Bradius, the sale has been paused until I can get a 3rd ICONS Reverse. Will return for updates.

I'm just kidding. Don't kill me. I appreciate the historical accuracy.

Why didn't you tell me this sooner? They seem to have stuck together and are slowly merging. Oh god...WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Can they merge together and become ICONS Imperial Inverse?

I didn't want to take the chance so I threw an UNO reverse card at it and luckily stopped the implosion. Phew!

You Reversed the Reverse decks?

But... but... that's a double negative!

Ahhhhhh!!!
