Well, over a million of these decks (real and copies) have sold so far, so they're not that rare. Further, the big retail chains haven't started selling them *yet*, so expect *at least* 10 million more to be sold when they begin stocking them next week.

The only "authentic" decks are made by U.S. Playing Card Company; the rest are worthless copies and don't use their copyrighted joker. Finally, the ones that were given to the troops (about 1,200 in total) were made on thin stock and have *square*, not rounded corners. I have no clue if U.S. Playing Card Company is mass producing that exact style, or the "normal" style on thicker stock and with rounded corners.
