Wow, I'm really excited about the recent blog post that gives a first impression on this itemcard-set.
Is the box the same thing that is mentioned in the RotRl-Pathfinder Journal? The box that Eando Kline was after? Seems like...
Will the characteristics of these boxes be revealed in the current AP? Seems like as well...
And can we expect to see a list of the deck before the release? I hope so...
Last questions: Are all of the illustrations done by Vincent again? I really, really like his style! I'm asking this, because Jason did mention the possibility of having different illustrators for future decks in one of the tuesday-chats...

I can't speak for the box, but I can answer the other two questions:
We generally like to leak out the card list a little bit at a time shortly before the release date; I'd expect that to continue.
All of the art continues to be by Vincent Dutrait.

The description for the card deck says it is part of the Pathfinder's Chronicles subscription. However, I don't see it listed anywhere in my list of items to be shipped. Will this deck ship with May's Pathfinder's Chronicles Gazeteer?
D'oh! We removed the Item Card decks from the subscription a while back, but I neglected to remove that bit of text from the description. The deck isn't part of any subscription—you'll need to order it separately.

Oh Noes..... that means I'll land up buying more than just cards if I start shopping ala cart! Curse you Paizo. Maybe I should have my paycheck direct deposited into Paizo's bank account?

Especially with the potions and wands, I'd like to be able to match the items exactly with those that appear in the adventures. Weapons, armor, and the like are easily matched by the illustrations in Pathfinder--at least in the first three in the "CotCT" series that I've received and read--but others are trickier.
Obviously, that'd be spoiler-heavy.
Have others already done some of this sort of work with this set of cards?
They look beautiful.

Can anyone tell me if ANY of the item cards in ANY deck is a spear? I think I have 50 wands, 40 staves and 79 potions...but no spears. :-)

Well...you're not going to like this, Item Pack 1 had one; but it's no longer available. And I have another one from the Elements Of Power deck, which is still available. What I'm waiting for is a Halberd, a couple close ones that substitute fine, but no proper Halberd yet.
...cheers...

Referencing the six adventures, my only-somewhat-reliable memories of reading them through a busy spring and summer, and Gamer Girrl's fantastic consolidated treasure lists for CotCT, I've matched the items depicted in the cards to the following in-game goodies. Note that 14 of the 54 item cards--noted in (parentheses) following the items--aren't yet matched. Input from fellow gamers and especially the designers in correcting mistakes and filling in the gaps is most welcome.
I've coded the items to the adventures in which they appear.

I noticed that the card boxes from other vendors have different photos then the ones sold on this website. Are they the same cards?
They are probably still using the mock-up image that we sent out with the solicitation. We change our own image to the final one about one to two months before the product is released, but many sites don't have the wherewithal to change an image once it is up on their site. I expect that they are referencing the same product.

Thank you, I wanted to make sure I wasn't double ordering the same cards and wanted to make sure I did order the cards if they were different. I bought my cards here with Paizo but I saw the other site had different photos with the same name. Thank you for the quick response, I'm getting my Father's Day order together.
