Those are POST-JARDEN, PRE-KENTUCKY. It's not the Kentucky necessarily that sucks, it's the Jarden factor (which includes ALL Kentucky decks, but also SOME Cincinatti decks- like in this case.)
It's NOT that they were waiting to run out of Cincinatti Boxes, because these are NEW boxes, hence the "Jarden paragraph" next to the barcode.
Jarden is SHIT. Good thing I stocked up on old q1 Tally's, and I suggest you guys do the same before their prices skyrocket.
Also, be careful about NORMAL Cincinatti boxes, without the "Jarden Paragraph", but that have BLACK stickers. This only applies to decks that normall had blue stickers, not decks like Black Lions that always came with black stickers.
I recently bought a gross of rider backs that were normal in every sense except for the sticker color. When I opened them, the stock sucked and the Jokers said KENTUCKY. I've seen Tallies, Hoyles and Bikes like this.
BEWARE. It's getting harder and harder to find good stuff, I'm trying to build a lifetime supply for myself (which shouldn't take too many decks considering my age, hahaha).
I have opened each red and blue tallyho circle and fan back. ( The one with black seal normal ohio box with the jarden paragraph ).
ReplyDeletewhat i discover is only the blue circle back feel soft and handle like shit. while the others are as good as the old ones and well centered unlike the blue circle.
Anyway where did you get ur information from?
