Are there any plans for a Dark Archive spell deck to be made in the future?

For anyone that is thinking of getting a non-mint copy of this. I thought I would share my thoughts, this is not a true review as I am only going to talk about the non-mint condition.
This like Book of the Dead has no issues I can find on it, despite it saying non-mint. I got vault of treasures new as part of the subscription and it seems to be in the same shape as them. Got 2 other non-mint and those had minor issues on them, so if you are on a budget and want to get this book the non-mint is worth it.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but will there be spell cards for the Dark Archive spells? I use the spell cards to organize a literal "spellbook" for my prepared casters and there are enough DA spells that I'm definitely going to feel the gap. Would love to buy the spell cards for this book like I did for APG and SoM.

They probably need a minimum amount of cards in a set to be worth the printing runs, and there might not be enough spells in Dark Archives. We could get a "grab bag" set that combine Book of the Dead, Dark Archive, and a couple other Core books down the line, when totalling them all would make a more interesting number of cards?
To note:APG was 149 spells.
Secrets of Magic was 205 spells.
Book of the Dead was 4 spells.
Dark Archives was 69 spells.
Treasure Vault was 1 spell.
So right now, that's 74 "other sources" spells. Still only about half of what APG had.

It's a fair point, but missing 69 spells is a rather sizeable chunk of missing cards. You're right though that it's still a small threshold compared to the others... Perhaps Rage of Elements will add enough to give us at least the APG's threshold and a combined deck will become viable? Unfortunately the nature of the spell cards is that without all the spells represented, the cards inherent value is reduced and creates an uneven experience.

Pathfinder Spell Cards : Rage of Elements
Actually, they have their own set of 240 cards. A set of spells big enugh to be worth a full package by itself.They confirmed that there would be about 24 pages of spells, 4 pages for each elements. I would guess about between 80 and 100 new spells. That's smaller than the previous minimum set by the APG, but that box had 225 spell cards, which is actually smaller than the RoE one. So either the spells are bigger and many need to cards to fit, or they have a much wider spread across the traditions (like we get more card duplications because they are in 3 or 4 traditions)...
Hum... Now I have the itch to look at the "other sources" numbers I got here and extrapolate the amount of card it would need based on tradition spread... >_>

I doubt the 9th Case File will get an errata, but there is only a maximum of 32 research points available, so is unable to ever pass the 35 point Research Threshold, making the Truth ending impossible.
I think its fairly obvious fix in that case though, you get all of them, you get enough for the final threshold
It's been almost five years and I think DA is still my favorite RPG book that I've ever purchased. Seriously a masterpiece.
