Not sure if this is the right place to post, but does anyone buy Gold Seals by the brick and get a good price?

No, but Penguin's prices are pretty good.

So thru Walton in the US 30 decks are $3.41 ea. Penguin would be $3.75 ea. Same price (ea.) you would pay for 17 decks - min for free shipping. Thru Walton, 17 decks would be $4.72 ea. delivered in US and $6.34 ea. International. Canada and Mexico have a shipping rate that falls between the US and International rates. Walton would be the least expensive route If you are buying three bricks or more for sure (but only by 34 cents a deck) I have never ordered from them before but I do get several decks a year from Penguin. Although I almost exclusively use Phoenix brand, I do use the Gold Bikes on the rare occasions that I use bikes to perform. I keep the Gold bikes in my wishlist on Penguin and often use them as a filler to get my order over $50 and receive free shipping as well as building up my spare Gold Bike stock. My Phoenix cards (which are the same quality as Gold Seal Bikes) only cost $3.00 ea no matter how many you buy and a flat shipping rate of $6.50 US and $4.90 EU. So mine are $3.54 ea. delivered for 1 deck to a brick and it goes down for each deck more (as the shipping does not change even if I buy a gross, which would be $3.04 a deck shipped) Standard bikes are a whole nother story when it comes to price. I have 4 Walmarts within 30 miles (2 that I never really go to) but one of the ones I do go to has single standard decks @ $2 ea. and the other has them @ $1 ea. (I did buy several at $1 ea. for effects like Binary Code 2.0 or other effects where you are absolutely going to destroy several cards (T&R routines, effects with a MCF, arts and craft practice cards and cards I gaff for freinds of mine who still use only bikes...) Big Box Club stores like Sam's and Costco often have inexpensive bricks and half bricks too.

Thanks all, didn't know if there was some unknown distributor that might have them cheaper. Walton tends to be the most expensive, especially with shipping. I've heard good things about Phoenix, but I have a bunch of Bike gaffs, some custom, and I don't want to be switching decks back and forth.

Gold seal Bikes (and blue seal Bikes, Tallys, & Bees) were all made in the old Cincinnati, Ohio facility and have an elevated status among many card users. USPCC seems to have the new plant working well after an inconsistent performance for a few years.
