This is just a random lurker's opinion, but I still consider EPCC to be somewhat of the value choice of the 3-4 primary playing card printers. (Maybe I'm way off though, I don't design nor have ever attempted to print a large run of playing cards) This more than anything is what makes me question the high prices (that don't even include shipping), because I definitely like the style and designs. I'm still on the fence about whether I'll be purchasing. $10-12 range I'd def be in, but there are so many choices in the playing card market lately.

New teaser posted on KW facebook this morning. I'm diggin the style a lot; that QoH is very unique
It also appears the deck name has been changed to "The Hive".

Note to Jackson: You could name a KW deck "Dirty Poop Sandwich" and I still purchase it.

I'll throw out an opinion that doesn't matter much (mine  ).

I'd have no qualms purchasing the deck from hopc or kickstarter.
Some people cringe at the thought of kickstarter lately, but out of ~40 decks I've backed only 2 haven't delivered.

The others I've not dealth with, but they definitely have a good repuation.

I spammed the hopc facebook page asking this same question (if this was 2nd print, how to tell the difference, etc.) and never got a response from them. Emmanuel at least had the courtesy to reply saying "It's no secret: the original run sold out. This is a second run."

Still don't know how to differentiate though.

Will any incentive be available to domestic buyers who get in on your next ace celebration pledge level? 

I guess you missed the part about offering his deck, normally rewarded at $15.00, for only $11.00...

No, no... no I didn't. But you can imagine what it'd be like if I did right?

The part I missed was the disservice international buyers apparently received to reward them with the extra deck for free, making them $9 each shipped as opposed to $11 for domestics.

I've been waiting for somebody to make a deck with this theme since I started collecting, but $12 is simply too much for this one.

okay...working on the Polaris designs and need some opinions...

trying to decide whether to go with a border or borderless background for the face cards. do you like the group on the left or the right?

I like the clean look of the borderless courts, but personally I believe the bordered versions on the left match the card backs better.

Also, it's too damn hot for a penguin to be just walkin' around here. That is all.

EDIT: OK I changed my mind, I like the borderless versions with the beveled pips from the bordered.

I went through a gotta-get-em-all phase when first starting to collect decks (hope I'm not the only one  )
Finally have gotten to the point where I want to sell many of my decks and be more selective about future purchases.

Real name is Joey, and all items will be shipped from Kentucky, USA.
My ebay account has 550 (100%) positive feedback.
The user name is busysellers, and I can sell through there if buyer prefers (although at higher cost to recoup ~10-11% ebay fees)

All the prices listed below are per deck, and I am OPEN TO OFFERS for most of these.
I'll charge actual s/h and ship via method buyer prefers. Reply or send me a message if you want a quote.

Taking pictures of each deck seemed too daunting, but I'll try to oblige on request.
Let me know if there are any questions or comments (or if I haven't followed proper forum syntax).

Thanks!

If peeing in your pants is cool, consider me kcaso.

Very sneaky!

Well that was a waste of excitement, I clicked the button within a second of it appearing and what was my price...? $260
Yippee!

It is a interesting system though, I've seen it get as low as $210 but that's still too much $$ for meese.

P.S. The quantity of Seasons reprints I planned to purchase has just risen by a considerable margin. 

This deck is such a piece of art. The kickstarter seems pretty good ($9 each though is kinda pricey) but I don't see why the custom aces are a stretch goal. I understand it is a lot of work, but I feel if you make all custom aces, it may help out your funding. When I think of stretch goals I think of seals, foil boxes, etc. other then that this seems like it will be very successful.

I agree 100% about the aces; I would like to see them included from the get go instead of as a stretch goal.
Regardless, I'm a backer without a doubt.

Do you have any idea when you might consider launching the project?

They said that they printed much less than 2500, yet we can buy each buy a brick of them...

Heck, the way I read it's allowed to purchase multiple bricks just not on the same order.
