GTA Uncut Playing Cards - Characters 3DU

[ChengizVlad09]

Release date: Unknown

Highest probability - end of 2006.

Origin Info:

Very little is known about these Uncut Character Sheet of Playing Cards, but according to some sources, around 2200 were "suppose to be released". It is questionable why would anyone ever release uncut-unfinished product, so it could be speculated that they weren't officially released and were put out of production sometime in the process - reasons being unknown, but eventually found their way to the community via 'unofficial' channels - most likely an employee working for a card company who had a contract with Rockstar, got in possession sometime before or after their release was canceled and later on decided to sell them.


Status and Availability:

Extremely hard to find, to say at least. The only two known pieces in circulation were spotted not so long ago on one of the e-commerce sites and they went for a surprisingly low price of 100.00 USD each.

Contents:


Sheet of 52 uncut playing cards and 2 jokers of GTA 3D Universe characters.

Characters:

Kent Paul, Tony Cipriani, JD O'Toole, Giovanni Casa, Mickey Hamfists, Mike"lips"Forelli, Jane Hopper,
Massimo Torrini, Misty,Luigi Goterelli, Vincenzo Cilli, Joey Leone, Maria Latore, Salvatore Leone, Claude,
Big Mitch Baker, Candy Suxx, Aunti Poulet, Steve Scott, Luis Gonzalez, Umberto Robina, Avery Carrington,
Ken Rosenburg, Tommy Vercetti, Sean"Sweet" Johnson, Kendl Johnson, Lance "Ryder" Wilson, Frank Tenpenny,
Wu Zi Mu, Phil Cassidy, Ned Burner, Catalina, Miguel, Ray Machowski, El Burro, Sonny Forelli, Donald Love,
Asuka Kasen, Kenji Kasen, Toshiko Kasen, Ricardo Diaz, Mercedes Cortez, Lance Vance, Colonel Juan Cortez,
Barabara Schtervart, The Truth, T-Bone Mendes, Melvin "Big Smole" Harris, Cesar Vialpando, Ran Fa Li,
Eddie Pulaski, Carl "CJ" Johnson Maccer.

Rating:

Extremely Rare. Could be even Unique.

Considering the fact these cards never made it to being officially released - if true - but managing to get to the community nevertheless, could be the significant factor of being highly valuable and thus highly sought after.

Price:

Given the lack of facts, hard to say, but definitely more than a hundred bucks.

Trivia:

Latest (Trivia) Edit:

Searching through the web, left and right, I've stumbled upon some interesting facts;

First of all, there's a great chance these were actually produced by the United States Playing Card Company - well known for making playing cards. Secondly, in the spheres of collecting numerous memorabilia, playing cards included, it is far from the unusual that some of the produced decks are actually left uncut and sold exactly like that for the sake of collecting, which of course makes them more rare and valuable and as such they are considered a piece of art.

Of course, sometimes it's just the case of 'faulty' sheet of paper that has been put aside due to the unknown reasons behind the malfunctioning press machine or the cutter itself.

Everything else mentioned is not quite excluded, but latest edit could be proven as a more plausible explanation.

It is interesting to note that there are no 'original' characters from GTA: Vice City Stories, other than those appearing in GTA Vice City which are definitely portrayed as Vice City characters - like Gonzalez for example - so it can give us a certain time frame when they were supposedly printed out and released.
With GTA VCS being just around the corner at that time, maybe Rockstar had a change of mind and decided to pull out of the official release without some VCS characters. Just a wild guess.

Notes*

I've saved the auction pictures and asked for permission to use them, but without any response.
I will, however, give credit where credit is due and I really hope pictures owner doesn't mind us using them here.

Further notes: Sadly I've lost complete set of pictures, but I've managed to save some of them for us to see.

Fecha de lanzamiento: Desconocida

Mayor probabilidad - finales de 2006.

Información de origen:

Se sabe muy poco acerca de estas hojas de naipes sin cortar , pero según algunas fuentes,se "suponía que se lanzaríanalrededor de 2200 ". Es cuestionable por qué alguien alguna vez lanzaría un producto sin cortar y sin terminar, por lo que se podría especular que no se lanzaron oficialmente y se pusieron fuera de producción en algún momento del proceso; se desconocen las razones, pero finalmente llegaron a la comunidad a través de ' canales no oficiales: muy probablemente un empleado que trabaja para una compañía de tarjetas que tenía un contrato con Rockstar, tomó posesión en algún momento antes o después de que se cancelara su liberación y luego decidió venderlos.


Estado y disponibilidad:

Extremadamente difícil de encontrar, al menos por decirlo. Las únicas dos piezas conocidas en circulación se descubrieron no hace mucho tiempo en uno de los sitios de comercio electrónico y tenían un precio sorprendentemente bajo de 100,00 USD cada una.

Contenido:


Hoja de 52 naipes sin cortar y 2 comodines de personajes de GTA 3D Universe . Personajes: Kent Paul, Tony Cipriani, JD O'Toole, Giovanni Casa, Mickey Hamfists, Mike "labios" Forelli, Jane Hopper, Massimo Torrini, Misty, Luigi Goterelli, Vincenzo Cilli, Joey Leone, Maria Latore, Salvatore Leone, Claude, Big Mitch Baker, Candy Suxx, Aunti Poulet, Steve Scott, Luis González, Umberto Robina, Avery Carrington,






Ken Rosenburg, Tommy Vercetti, Sean "Sweet" Johnson, Kendl Johnson, Lance "Ryder" Wilson, Frank Tenpenny,
Wu Zi Mu, Phil Cassidy, Ned Burner, Catalina, Miguel, Ray Machowski, El Burro, Sonny Forelli, Donald Love,
Asuka Kasen, Kenji Kasen, Toshiko Kasen, Ricardo Diaz, Mercedes Cortez, Lance Vance, Coronel Juan Cortez,
Barabara Schtervart, The Truth, T-Bone Mendes, Melvin "Big Smole" Harris, Cesar Vialpando, Ran Fa Li,
Eddie Pulaski, Carl "CJ" Johnson Maccer.

Calificación:

Extremadamente raro . Incluso podría ser único .

Teniendo en cuenta el hecho de que estas tarjetas nunca llegaron a ser lanzadas oficialmente- si es cierto - pero lograr llegar a la comunidad, sin embargo, podría ser el factor significativo de ser muy valioso y, por tanto, muy buscado.

Precio:

Dada la falta de datos, es difícil de decir, pero definitivamente más de cien dólares.

Trivia:

Latest (Trivia) Edit:

Buscando en la web, de izquierda a derecha, me he encontrado con algunos datos interesantes;

En primer lugar, existe una gran posibilidad de que estos hayan sido producidos por United States Playing Card Company.- bien conocido por hacer naipes. En segundo lugar, en las esferas de la recopilación de numerosos objetos de interés, incluidos los naipes, está lejos de ser inusual que algunas de las barajas producidas se dejen sin cortar y se vendan exactamente así para coleccionarlas, lo que por supuesto las hace más raras y valiosas. y como tales se consideran una obra de arte.

Por supuesto, a veces es solo el caso de una hoja de papel 'defectuosa' que se ha dejado de lado debido a razones desconocidas detrás de la máquina de prensa que funciona mal o del cortador en sí.

Todo lo demás mencionado no está del todo excluido, pero la última edición podría probarse como una explicación más plausible.

Es interesante notar que no hay personajes ' originales ' de GTA: Vice City Stories, aparte de los que aparecen en GTA Vice City, que definitivamente se representan como personajes de Vice City, como González, por ejemplo, por lo que puede darnos un cierto período de tiempo en el que supuestamente se imprimieron y lanzaron.
Con GTA VCS a la vuelta de la esquina en ese momento, tal vez Rockstar cambió de opinión y decidió retirarse del lanzamiento oficial sin algunos personajes de VCS. Solo una suposición descabellada.

Notas *

Guardé las imágenes de la subasta y pedí permiso para usarlas, pero sin respuesta.
Sin embargo, daré crédito cuando se lo merezca y realmente espero que al propietario de las imágenes no le importe que las usemos aquí.

Notas adicionales:Lamentablemente, he perdido el conjunto completo de imágenes, pero me las arreglé para guardar algunas de ellas para que las veamos.
