Quick answer
The 2012 sealed brick of Fulton's Chinatown is a scarce collectible that continues to appreciate. It's best for serious collectors seeking a rare, authenticated brick, not for casual players or budget buyers.
Why the 2012 brick box matters
This brick holds 12 sealed decks of Fulton's Chinatown from 2012, a release that has steadily gained value. The original blank USPCC brick box, signed by Fulton himself, guarantees authenticity. Only a few remained in the warehouse, making this a genuinely limited opportunity.
Because the brick housing is old (2012 USPCC blank box), it may show minor wear. This is not a flaw but a sign of age and authenticity. Collectors should embrace this as part of the item's history.
Trade-offs to consider
The price reflects scarcity: USD 289 (compared to USD 425 catalog value). This is an investment-grade purchase, not an everyday deck. If you plan to open and use the decks, the brick's sealed value drops significantly.
The brick box itself is plain white and might show storage wear. For display purposes, the decks inside are the main attraction. This brick is best kept sealed to preserve its collectible status.
Decision rules for the 2012 Chinatown brick
- Authenticity check: Look for Fulton's signature on the brick box. This guarantees the brick's origin and adds provenance, which is critical for resale value. Without the signature, verify the brick's history before purchasing.
- Condition expectations: The blank white USPCC brick box from 2012 may show age-related wear or scuffs. This is normal and does not affect the sealed decks inside. Do not expect a pristine box; focus on the sealed decks.
- Investment vs. use: This brick is for long-term holding. Opening any deck reduces the brick's collectible value. If you want to play or handle the cards, buy a single opened deck instead. Keep the brick sealed to maximize future value.
