Hey guys, I'm going to take the project down and look over everything again. The project was a little rushed and simply was not the best work I was capable of. If anyone has any helpful comments, Please inbox me. I cannot improve without your help.

Thanks

I just pledged for the last early bird. These do look nice.

Thanks

Happen to see this. Glad I did as I think I/a friend will enjoy this.  Though whats up with it being in AUD but free shipping in the US? I figured I was going to be considered international. Also you mention choosing the dog tag pledge, the 5th deck would be 0005. But the only one that has the dog tag is the 1 deck.

Sorry, still working out the kinks . I'll get right on it.

I see no problem using the word "anniversary".  Anniversary isn't necessarily positive or negative - it's neutral, indicating simply that something happened a certain number of years ago.  I see it as often referring to things like national tragedies such as the 9/11/2001 attacks as I do for something celebratory such as a wedding.

I do agree, however that "Premium Quality Playing Cards" means as much to me as "The check is in the mail."  Were they certified by some quality review board, or did someone's aunty say they were really nice?  It's meaningless in this context.

I'd be surprised if you didn't include the flag of France on the new tuck - a large amount of the fighting took place in that nation.  You're using the wrong US flag - the 35-star flag you depicted was taken out of commission on July 3, 1865; for the full duration of "The Great War", the flag had 48 stars on it, in a grid 8 stars wide and 6 stars tall.

The box back looks a bit bland as well.  Perhaps you could depict flags of the US/UK/Fr alliance on the front, with the opposition on the back?  Or maybe a map of Europe at the time war broke out as a wraparound?

Now, what do the cards look like - faces and backs?  Who will be your printer?

Well grandma said they looked like good quality and frankly, I trust her judgement  But It's just there because I think it adds to the somewhat vintage look of the tuck case. It isn't supposed to entice people to buy directly. Also, I am still upset about france's involvement in this deck because the way the deck features work, there simply wasn't enough room. The situation with the American that is on one of the cards in the deck does in fact have the correct 48 stars. That tuck case image is an older model.

But thanks for all the tips guys, keep em' coming.

EDIT: I'm trying to show you the entire deck but I'm having trouble converting them from a PDF to something Imgur will accept in high quality.

World War I did start in 1914 but I would not use a World War II picture on the box.  That is a whole other animal and is a bit of an insult. 

Instead use the picture of Big Bertha.  That symbolizes World War I trench warfare.  They used to call it "shell shock"  now it has a calming name called PTSD.
If you made that 101 mistake, we need to see your cards before you launch.  If you lay it all out we can help you.  Are you sure you want to say anniversary? 

"Premium Quality Playing Cards" doesn't mean much in my book...

+1 Russell, I have to say I agree with you 100%

I would add that making that mistake makes me question the amount of research, or lack there of, that went into this. Makes this seem like a rushed project to throw up on KS. JMO

Just a suggestion, but instead of anniversary-maybe
World War I(not one)
100 Years Later

I totally agree. Anniversary sounds a tad to happy for me. If you want a single word noun, perhaps Commemoration or Memorialization may be more suited?

I'm not too sure about the huge "play cards" and the smaller "premium quality playing cards" as well. Firstly, you don't really have to emphasize on the "play cards", and secondly, you don't need to repeat it.

We haven't seen any cards so not much to comment, but you can also take a look at the Bicycle War Series from USPC as well. After all, that deck was produced in reference to the victory in WWI.

I'll post a link to the full deck shortly but yes, as explained in the previous comment, the tuck case is very new. We will definitely be making changes and I will be implementing some of these tweaks. Thanks again guys for your honest opinions, It really helps.

That's man. We recently had to rush and completely re do the tick case. Yeah I'm happy to show you the full deck. - atrocious spelling
