@ghostbuster that deck seems to come up once in a while for crazy money. But I am not sure how much demand there is for it. Yeah it's cool, but I just don't see that being a deck a lot of people would put out crazy money for. But I know it just takes that one person looking for it.
I know, it's just like a novelty deck, but they always go for $1K plus. I remember seeing ads back in the day and thinking wth is Sims doing, it didn't really fit into their lineup.
I just sold a 10-year old Welinder reissue for $320. I had no idea that you could get prices like this for a reissue. I have one more in the basement that's going up soon.
That's true, I cleaned up in under a day on a Vallely reissue I didn't think was going to get its price for months, if ever.
On the other hand, watch out and know your colorways! Bought an "original, vintage" Hosoi on Ebay a while ago that had been painted over with acrylic house paint. When I told the guy he was just like, So? You can resell it for just as much! lol.

this is ebay in the UK.
if you check the roman date on the deck : MCMXXXVII which is 1937 !
It should be MCMLXXXVII right ?
do you think it's a fake or a printing error ?
