You can get Mastermind in Blue I think. Check Penguin.

I have only ever seen them available recently in red.
If you have to have blue, check out http://www.magicbycardmaker.com/
Then email Bernd and inquire what the cost would be to make you one.
I just purchased a couple gaffed cards from him and he does excellent work. Even though he is located in Germany shipping wasn't too expensive and only took a few days.

PS-Neil Lester (Cards by Martin) passed away several years ago.

Sorry to tell you that neither the Mastermind Deck nor the Monte Cristo Deck were manufactured in blue. Red only.
Changing backs of one of the mentioned decks will be a costly affair.

My BLUE Monte Cristo Bicycle deck is a 3S --but its one I bought from Neil Lester....so, they DO exist.

I guess now, I can use it to fool those who only think these decks were made in Red.

Yes, Neil Lester is deceased, and his son had the website up for a long time, with a message that he might continue, but after 6 months to a year, he decided to close down the website. 2009, my how time flies by, it does not seem that long ago.

So I don't know how you got a deck made by a deceased person or his son would not sell any of the products listed on the site. I just did a Google search and there is no listing for his "Cards by Martin" website.

They may exist, but you failed to provide the proof, like a website address.

I do hope you are enjoying your Blue Monte Cristo Bicycle Deck. No one else can seem to locate one.

Bill:

I had been a customer of Neil's for 20+ years.

I never said that I RECENTLY purchased the Blue deck from Neil.

If you want "proof" that I own such a deck - I'll be glad to e-mail you a photo.

True, since the death of Neil, blue-backs aren't currently available from anyone, apparently.

I have a blue one too - but it is not for sale. The factory printed ones were made in red only. The blue 3S one was NOT factory printed; it was made by a small company where Neil - and later me - have our cards printed. This company does not exist any more. So there once was a small batch of blue ones; but no actual ones.

What are the blue ones worth. Is anyone making cards like Neil did.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

This is a heartfelt opportunity to honor Neil Lester, as I was always thrilled to call him on the "phone" to discuss my requirements. Neil was a gem of a card-maker & we will all miss him - so, I will once again say that this kind of card-man comes along rarely & I'm proud to own his work.
