Fortunately, you can still purchase our fine cards at Waygoose Redux in Bethesda.

We direct its loyal former customers to nearby Copenhaver instead.

The shop is therefore currently liquidating its entire inventory at highly favorable prices. By now little remains of its once impressive stock of Archelaus cards, but the intelligent bargain hunter can acquire the few it has left for just a dollar apiece.

Ron was a remarkable person, full of life and humor, and we are grieved. He was the first retailer to agree to carry our cards, and we are enduringly grateful to him for the support and encouragement.
