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.
Just got an update: “Mystery Box Playing Cards are locked and sealed inside – and a few secrets and surprises laced within.”
That’s what I get for not reading all the way. Thanks for doing some research and clarifying the matter for me appreciate it
