First backup for 2 setups. 

Thanks for the tag @TheOffalo. I’mView attachment 1493056
It's apparently the season for playing card group buys! Been in contact with a vendor in EU to get a decent-size order (30+ setups) of Dal Negro Grand Slam bridge/jumbo decks shipped to me in California.
I plan on placing the order very soon; no waiting until we hit a certain amount of interest. So these cards should arrive before some of the other GBs running. But it is a decent amount of money to front, so I'd love to have some buyers already lined up when they get here.
Price is $24 per "setup" (1 red deck, 1 blue deck) before reshipping.
Comment below with how many setups you'd be interested in. This is not a commitment to buy, but I will be using the order of comments to help determine "dibs" later, since quantities will be limited. (If interest is very high, then I may consider upping my order.)
Update 4/16/2025:
This is our current count, in the order I received the comments

Here's the estimated reshipping costs from me to you, once I receive the cards:
1 Setup: $6
2 Setups: $8
3-4 Setups: $10
5-8 Setups: $12
I'll also be reshipping for @xdan's Fournier EPT/2826 GB as well. These should arrive sooner, but if anyone is in that GB too and want to combine shipping, I can always hold their Dal Negro decks until the Fourniers come in.
Continue to comment below if you're interested. I should be able to accommodate a few more orders!
thanks for the tag @TheOffalo. All good for now with cards but they look awesome!Updated OP with the current count and reshipping costs. Placing order this week, but continue to express interest below. Should be able to accommodate a few more orders!
Tagging LA/OC folks that I may be able to hand-deliver to, to save some money on reshipping: @wonderpuddle @TricycleClub @IllCallOneTime @WhiteMamba1646 @horseshoez @breal_cards @l33tf0b @Johnblue @Mongoose @Venturalvn @Organista1 @kimbless @utgtrash
And some folks who (based on recent posts) were looking for or bought Dal Negro cards recently and may want more: @jamesjkim @Dcarl @Kam
(I'm sure I've missed people, feel free to tag others.)
You'll be second backup after Jonesey!I know I’m late but If anyone backs out I’m in for two setups.
You’ll be 3rd backup!2 Setups for next order. Thanks.
Update: I have a tracking number from the seller and the package has been picked up by the carrier, but no ETA... yet! Will keep y'all posted!
@Jonesey07 @PepperPaul assuming the full order arrives safe and sound, I should be able to accommodate both of you. (@Tonystark137 asked to be removed from backup list, so we should be all set.)
That leaves one setup left... for me! (I hadn't allocated any for myself originally, d'oh.) Fingers crossed everything goes smooth from here on out!
Keep one of my setups out of my order for yourself on me. You have done your fair share of reshipping to me in the past you deserve to at least get a couple of setups out of the putting together this deal.

Wow, thank you both so much! Love this community!Same as Tom, keep one of mine, thank you,

That's epic! Why didn't I see this GB earlierCongrats to everyone who got some - glad they came in so quickly. Hey Offalo if you have any extras, let me know. Otherwise - I'll you on the next one!

Well, I'm not saying that I'll run another GB soon, but I'm not not saying that either!I was mildly surprised that at least 3-4 people who were in this GB, upon receiving their cards, either asked when the next one would be or said they'd be interested in more.
So... very very informally, who might be interested in another GB and for how many setups? I'll estimate the price to be $24/setup again, which may actually be more accurate this time unfortunately, as the seller mentioned PayPal raising their fees or something.
Informally understood. I'd be in for 8-10 setups. I could think about even doing 15 if it helped get the ball rolling on another GB...
What's the shelflife on theseWell, I'm not saying that I'll run another GB soon, but I'm not not saying that either!I was mildly surprised that at least 3-4 people who were in this GB, upon receiving their cards, either asked when the next one would be or said they'd be interested in more.

I did not. I hope you find it though!!!!I have an embarrassing question for those of you who've received your cards already: Did I by chance send any of you an extra "setup" (1 red deck, 1 blue deck) in your shipment?
I just did an inventory this weekend and I am somehow short 1 setup to fulfill the remaining orders that have been waiting for the Fournier GB to arrive (good news, they've arrived). I will take one setup from my own stock to fulfill all the remaining orders, so no one else is short, and I'll keep looking for the missing setup. But if anyone did get one more setup than they ordered, please let me know.
And those of you waiting for the combined shipping, I will be reaching out by PM within the next couple days with the final reshipping cost and to get addresses if I don't have them already.
