I guess we have different opinions of what 'rare' means, I do not doubt you when you say Brown Wynn's are far rarer than the Red's and Blue's. However, there are sellers on Ebay selling Wynn's of all colours for equal prices in very large quantities, these have been consistently sold for quite some time (a few months at least, likely longer).

To me, rare means that it is not available in any significant quantity from any source. If you consider 'rare' to be a low total supply in comparison to the other decks then you would be correct.

With all due respect, can you find out where those particular Brown Wynns are sold? I've just done a search and I did find Brown Wynns, but not the same kind that T11 were selling.

As far as I know there is only one kind of Brown Wynns, there is a link to them in my previous post.

The brown Wynn's that you cited in your previous post are, in fact, not the ones sold by theory11 - as they lack the Wynn logo on the back. (Check out some pictures of the backs to see the difference.) As a result thereof, they differ in feel, finish, and quality - and are completely separate from the ones that were sold here.

The only place to purchase the brown Wynn decks that were featured exclusively on theory11 is from theory11 - which is no longer selling them - and eBay, where they are selling on average for $30 per deck, with some selling as high as $60.90 per deck (when they were only sold for $4.95 here) - which does make them rare in my book and by all definitions of the word.

Cheers,

You are correct, those are not the ones sold by T11 I didn't actually check those very closely.

I believe these are the real Wynns http://cgi.ebay.com/13-Bee-Wynn-Cas...oryZ1438QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Right - and I'm not sure if you noticed, but 12 out of the 13 decks being sold are red and blue Wynn decks. Only 1 out of the 13 decks from the auction is a "real" brown Wynn deck, which is not exactly a significant, large quantity, as you previously mentioned - because, as JR factually stated, they are not as widely available as red and blue ones.

I have seen them in larger quantities, that was the first one I have come across.

I have never disagreed with Jon Raiker about them being rarer than Red or Blue Wynns, I was simply saying that T11 is not the only source of them.

The link above was to prove that they are available, as some people asked for a link. I think that seller also sells Wynns in packs of 3, one of each colour which is the quantity I stated they were available in earlier.

I've seen deals of this nature (Packs of 3, 1 of each colour) available for quite some time from various sellers. I have never claimed they are available for $3.50 in unlimited amounts, I have only said they can be obtained, as the sellers constantly replace any of the sets of Wynns that are bought I stand by my statement that they are available in significant quantities (Significant was perhaps not the best choice of word as it was a big vague, what I mean is you could quite easily pickup 10 Brown Wynns from Ebay sellers).

The browns feel better because they are tech art cards.

The Wynns also come in red and violet tech arts.

Tech arts are specially printed so the backs and faces are centered perfectly. That way the casino can read the cards using mirrors and scanners.

Ribbon spread your tech arts face up. Brown, red, or violet, they all will have the 10 spots, courts, and aces in different positions.

Stricter quality measures = better cards

Give it up squirrel, Jack and John have already mopped the floor with you. Did you know there are more Jerry's Nuggets in the world than their are Brown Wynns? Neither deck is by any means rare, but my guess in a year or two your not going to see too many e-bay auctions in bulk for Brown Wynns. In my personal opinion, the cards feel great. its just a deck of cards, who cares if their rare or not. they sold them cheap, so whats the difference. If they made them expensive and told everyone their super duper rare that would be wrong, because they aren't, but they by no means over-charged for them.

I never said they overcharged for them, i don't care either way.
I didn't start an argument, I made a single comment that wasn't even meant to be serious. Jon Raiker replied, as you can see we had different definitions of the word rare but I accepted his explanation. Other people then decided to make an argument out of it.

This is not an issue I care about in the slightest. There isn't even a problem here and I never really claimed there was. It was a single line comment about a trivial issue. Other people made it into an issue by making loads of posts about it.

I think Bao has an unhealthy infatuation with Rick Astley. I think its fair to say while Wynns of any color aren't "rare", the Brown Wynns are definitely less common than Red/Maroon Wynns or Blue/Purple Wynns. Also, T11 is clearly NOT the only place that has the Brown Wynns. If you want some, look up the sellers Fullboatdealer (highly recommended, he has a good supply) or 4emagic on eBay. There are other eBay sellers, but their stock is more limited. You guys can thank me later.

Funnily, I saw them selling Red and Blue (or violet) Wynns with Jumbo Indexes. Are they real?
