  1. Just realize that they are selling the playing cards and the actual lockbox separately that’s kind of a rip off to me. Think it would come out much better if they sold it as a total package. Instead of separately

    • No… the lockbox includes 12 decks, from the description: “Includes 12 Mystery Box Playing Cards wrapped in letterpressed kraft paper. The decks are housed in a handcrafted wood box made of 100 year old reclaimed wood.”

      I’ll reach out to them to confirm, though. However, they are selling decks separately for people that just want those.

      • That’s what I get for not reading all the way. Thanks for doing some research and clarifying the matter for me appreciate it
