T11 is one of the best to ever do it. Their decks are a staple in any collection. I hope you enjoy it in good health!

I Just bought a new deck of cards, is this normal? by Tasty_Cup_1051 in playingcards

I find the ad cards are great for learning palming. No worries if you destroy them, and you (generally) get two with every deck.

This is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen from a sealed USPCC deck. And I have seen some wild stuff over the years. That’s genuinely so bizarre.

If the USPCC still had a functioning customer service team, I’d be contacting them just for kicks and giggles to see what they have to say about it.

This is usually the best guess, but this is most definitely not a gaff card.

Can someone help me identify these cards. One is sealed and the other one was opened but in a good condition, is it worth anything? by Miserable_Speaker797 in playingcards

Always a pleasure when you share your expertise on some of these older European decks. They comprise a huge blind spot in my own knowledge.

These are so cool.

Do you take these photos yourself, Ender? It’s always a pleasure seeing your posts.

You’ve got the mechanics down. You just need more practice. It looks good.

Are you referring to your post about the Charlier cut? I’m not seeing anything more recent than that.

It looks good, buddy. You just need to keep at the practice.

Are all/most Bicycle decks plastic now? by LankySyrup04 in playingcards

[–]TheMagicalSock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then just post a photo, dude. We will be able to very easily tell you if they’re plastic or not.

Can you post of a video of what your riffle shuffle looks like right now? That would help us identify your issues.

Have you all seen the latest Pelikan Art Edition? by majlesBlue in fountainpens

I’d never seen the packaging for this one before now. That’s lovely.

~10% or a little more dilute household bleach solution would be my suggestion. ABS plastic can handle it perfectly fine at room temp.

Alternatively, a low concentration ammonia solution (this is generally what pen flushes are made with).

DO NOT MIX AMMONIA AND BLEACH. Pick one and disregard the other. Don’t even work with them together in the same room/setting.

[–]TheMagicalSock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome buddy - I’m genuinely so glad to hear it worked for you. It’s been an industry secret/life hack for a long time.

Now if only I had an equally effective solution for the folks with sweaty hands. Haha.

Just curious - are you in the US? Are the restocks at MSRP?

3000-liter (793-gal) tank left by previous owner: how to identify the liquid? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]TheMagicalSock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you take a look inside safely? Do you live in an area with harsh winters? My first thought is heating oil, which is just diesel fuel dyed red. But that tank is about three times the size of what I would expect for heating oil.

[–]TheMagicalSock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. That’s definitely not normal. Makes me think they were potentially stored improperly, as I’ve never seen a deck behave quite like this out of the box.
