This series of decks is made by special arrangement with the EPCC and USPCC. After 20 years of research we believe it is not possible, at this time, to make better cards at USPCC. We predict that this series of decks will become legendary for serious card handlers. And even though these are NOT a limited edition we cannot guarantee that we will be allowed to make them again in the future.
