I know - it even makes you misspell "CARDS"... Never text and drive, you might drop your phone... :))
I fixed the typo, but it will forever be immortalized in the Pretty URL for this page... What a legacy for the next generation... (hee hee hee)

Just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that the page has been updated with Add Ons including Antique Brass collector's coins and pricing for adding decks.
To come: 2x3.5" UV magnets, custom shirts, and custom dice!
I just knew that there was a reason that my goal was as high as it is, and after going back and checking my notes I found that I had already included pricing for those other items. Hopefully this isn't too little too late, but I'll be getting prototypes up within the week.

Additionally, I noticed that the spot cards all have a little circle in the center background. I would remove this - since all the art is monochrome, it's easily confused as an extra pip by someone not paying enough attention.
Consider making a tier for "two and two" - two deck of each of the two designs, or four decks of one if you fail to reach goal... Speaking of which...
You could be setting yourself up for a problem down the road. Let's say you get to your goal and the project is winding down. If it becomes clear based on analytics that you WON'T reach the stretch goal for the second deck, you might find backers who backed based on the assumption that the second deck would be made dropping their pledges to a reduced level. For example, the guy who pledges for the half-brick expecting to get three of each deck might not want to have six of the same deck, and would drop his pledge to the three-deck tier.
Summed up, it could result in reaching your goal, only to drop below it in the latter days of the campaign.
It would have been better to make the second deck strictly an add-on for all the tiers. Then you wouldn't get backers who back based on an assumption potentially putting the project in jeopardy.

Don - All sound advice, as usual. Tomorrow I will be adding in the two-and-two tiers, as well as looking at logistics of the four-of-one. If this launch doesn't make the cut, there will be a relaunch in a few months time while I refine the tiers and artwork.
In the meantime...
Only 13 hours left in the Saint Patty's Day promo for uncut signed sheets! Sheets are 17% off at $25, with 15 available at this price.
Grab them before 12pm EST tomorrow on March 18th.

For those of you who missed it, we discussed a lot of the legal terms and nuances here: http://www.playingcardforum.com/design-development/wiretap-relaunch-coming-august-26-to-ks/ (http://www.playingcardforum.com/design-development/wiretap-relaunch-coming-august-26-to-ks/)
@ Don - Those edits we discussed have not been forgotten, and here's the fixed Obama. Bush is looking much more like himself, but I still have fine-tuning to do.

Obama's neck is WAY too thick - it's like Obama's head is on Clinton's head!
