50 Fathoms is on back order - it was supposed to arrive with the rest, but didn't.
Evernight predates me knowing about the system significantly, and is so far out of print that the store with the 20% discount couldn't find a copy at all.
Evernight came before the whole idea of plot points, which I suspect is why it stopped being printed almost immediately. Still, I'd recommend picking up the .pdf version, as it's a fantastic story and concept.
My biggest problem with Deadlands is that it moved further from it's roots as people became more aware of it. The "cowboys and indians for a bit and then HOLY CRAP!" aspect that defines Deadlands is almost completely ignored in favour of making Cthulu in the wild west. Evernight has a similar concept without the audience already having expectations, and it really plays up the world before knocking it over and messing with the players' heads.
