I wish I could share my journey with this deck. This copy is absolutely pristine. Just like getting it fresh in 2008… incredible. Thank you so much. I don’t think this deck had even been used. The only “wear” is the barely noticeable spider thread single streak through a few cards that came from printing which Llewelyn had known issues with back then. The fact I can even still see that means this deck has barely been shuffled. I feel like I got this brand new it even smells like bookstore.
