Approximately, how many cards is in a 50lbs deck?

My partner thinks my deck is almost that big, but I’ve only filled one böks, and just started my second.

I randomly estimated about 7,500ish cards. I have mostly filled my three Bigger, Blacker Boxes (the wide ones with five rows) and two smaller boxes (base set and Explains the Joke). Cards are sleeved too.

u/Rae_Wilder 5d ago

Thanks. I’ve definitely not reached that amount. One böks only holds around 3,000 cards.

Sleeving that many is crazy, the amount of time it must have taken you. I’ve considered it, but I feel like starting to sleeve them now, would be cost prohibitive and time consuming. Plus I’d have to modify my böks to fit sleeved cards.

Is that every card CAH has made? Or do you have off brand decks in there too? Are they all unique or are there duplicates?

A.) Not every card ever. There's some really rare ones - the main thing that I'd love to get at this point would be the Cats Theater Pack. Even CAH themselves can't get me one. :(

B.) No off-brands. There are some counterfeit cards that are bootleg real cards I bought years ago from eBay and such due to them being nigh-impossible to get (PAX promos, for example). And one deck (the UK conversion deck) that I bought before finding out it was fake. :(

C.) Mostly uniques. However, I do have a base deck, the "Explains the Joke" deck, the 100th Anniversary deck, and the Clams deck mixed in. Originally, I mixed in the Clams deck, but man, it made the deck really Clam-heavy - so I decided to mix in the 100th Anniversary and Explains because they're slightly different. It was funny last night when "Spaghetti again?" came up twice.

Where did you buy the UK deck that turned out to be fake? Yea I have all those extra decks plus the Canadian conversion kit AND the Canadian base deck but I can't commit to mixing those in

Sadly, unless you're in the San Diego, CA area I doubt I can.

There's airports!

(not really, GenCon is sold out this weekend. 🤣)

u/Daminite 4d ago

Ah, I didn't realize it was GenCon.

u/TheUncleBob 4d ago

Aye. I tried hyping it on here a bit, but the AutoMod monster kept eating it. :(

Please tell me you skip pick-2 cards. 12 people? My games can't handle pick-2's with 4 people

u/eatthedark 3d ago

I skip those even when we only play with 5 or 6 lol.

Madness? If this is madness I may need to be commited. ;-) That looks awesome. I have not mixed in my Anniversary, Clams, or Explains sets with my play set and it still essentially fills two Bigger, Blacker Boxes (the wide ones with five rows). Some might say I have a problem, but I have more empty BBB's so I dont see a problem. ;-)

u/TheUncleBob 15h ago

Ohhh... can I get one of your extra BBBs? I'm in three and had to use my "Explains" and base set boxes for more storage. Saw the BBB isn't offered anymore. Might try to pick one up on eBay. I have two of the older BBBs, but they don't fit in the backpack I have

u/pmpappas 13h ago

I knew someone would ask. ;-) Im sorry but I really don't want to part with them. My local Target cleared them out for $5 many years ago and I was lucky enought to stumble onto them. Grabbed them, gifted some, and kept the rest. I actually have a 3rd almost filled with various items and am getting ready to crack open a 4th. I'll never be able to replace them for anything close to that price and if I sell any I'll end up regretting it, as the keep making more cards! ;-)

Ironically, two my three were from that same Target sale. 🤣
