Bee Playing Cards No. 92 Club Special.
I can post these to anywhere in Korea or if you are in Seoul we can meet up.

A few packs are unopened.
The rest have been opened but NEVER used.
10 Red
7 Blue

Would like to sell the whole lot but will entertain offers.

75,000 incl postage!

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't playing cards available here? And I know Bee is the best and you're giving a sorta decent price, but anyone who is over here and in need of quality cards probably brought their own. Since I don't do magic anymore or play poker, I brought one novelty pack and I'm pretty sure those'll last me plenty.

I got 2 decks of plastic cards for 1,000 won a deck off someone selling miscellaneous stuff off the street. They work great. Maybe an offer like 25,000 would be more reasonable. 75,000 is too high.

especially when you can get 10 decks online for like 13 or 14 000.

Of roughly comparable quality.

Not as good as Bee of course, but the two decks I threw in my chips case have been used every other week for the last 5 months with ganmes averaging 6 hours.

They still show no signs of wear and tear.

Yeah sorry man, 75 000 is way too high.

Bee cards are worth 5,000 a pack, no problem. Slightly better than Bicycle which sell for 7-8,000 in convenience stores if they have them at all.

Plastic cards might be OK for some, but there are enough semi-serious poker players in Korea that will snap these up. I would, but I'm still getting through the last boxes I bought.

hamlet, if your cars are still in good condition, then I would say that you are lucky, and obviously playing with people who really respect the cards.
I have played with some people like that, but then there are others that will bend and crush them, people who don't know how to shuffle or deal, and once one card is gone, you can only use the deck for spares and even then with lesser cards there might be some discoloration that makes them impossible to use.

I don't need these cards, but I'm tempted to get them anyway, cause they're hard to get over here.

I think he means 75,000 for 17 total

It's about 4,500 per deck

Not bad
