1. I think the cards are beautiful!

2. Bridge-sized decks are rather small for my large hands, so I would love to see them in a poker-sized deck.

3. And I placed an order for two decks back on the 22nd. of June.

4. So I am keeping an eye on my mailbox daily for the soon to arrive package!

5. If my wife likes these as much as I believe she will, I'll have to order more; especially if they are released in poker-sized decks!

6. Thank You for creating these!

I really want these decks to succeed this time, so I'll be posting Tweets on Twitter, Facebook and other sites like this one:

And I'm curious about how well other card collectors think messages like this will work towards card deck projects; and how often I should post them.

Can this topic get updated so the current project and its link and images are at the top instead of the older project links and details?
 

Many Thanks for Your Input on This Topic!

I've just looked at EFS, and found them interesting too; but I have to admit that a Fulfillment Service that does NOT have Tubes and other Special Packaging for decks of playing cards is a deal-breaker for me.  Not having these items tells me they have no experience in handling custom playing card needs; and I wouldn't want to take a chance on ruined decks of cards going out to customers!

I will comment on 3.
1. To begin with KWP never answered my emails requesting fulfillment. Ever. Not great at all.
2. Gamblers Warehouse (from a customer point of view) has immaculate standards. Their decks come bubble wrapped  in boxes, bubble wrapped and in a bubble mailer. Then bubble wrapped again. Maybe not that many times but they have the BEST packaging I have ever had the delight of opening. They completely understand playing cards. Highly recommend.
Only bad thing was when I asked for pricing the table was confusing.
3. EFulfillment is the one I am planning on shipping with soon. They have amazing customer service skills and answered EVERY single one of my questions, almost immediately. Including "How was your weekend?" They actually really care. There is no storage fees as they a they assure me all will be shipped the day they come in. They have really good rates and will ship with USPS or EFS or any other method. They customize the fulfillment based on the persons needs. This does mean that tubes (for un-cut sheets) and other special packaging needs to be provided, but this is the only downside I have encountered. I have not shipped my decks yet, but so far I would recommend them.

I recently put my first deck designs, which I had planned for my wife and I (both retired) to do the fulfillment on ourselves, on hold, while I took care of an audio project that is taking me several weeks (months?) to complete, and right in the middle of the audio project (which is all seated, computer-based work), my right lower-back, hip and knee, have all started giving me so much pain that I can barely stand up; let alone pick up and move cases of decks of cards!

So if I had finished my in-process decks first, and had been in the fulfillment phase, I, and everyone waiting for my decks, would be out-of-luck!

Which means I will now have to go with a well-respected fulfillment company when I get back to working on my card designs; rather than take a chance on not being able to complete the fulfillment myself.

And I'm now asking for names, addresses, contact information, and most importantly opinions on the fulfillment companies that are well-known for working with playing card decks, uncut sheets, and other card related items.

I'm already familiar with King's Wild, and have received many well-packed packages shipped from them; but most of the other fulfillment companies I've looked up on the Internet don't seem to focus on card-related fulfillment.

Which is why I'm asking everyone here to share what they know; so when it comes time for my Bicycle-Branded, USPCC decks to be released through Kickstarter, my choice for a fulfillment company will add to the confidence level of those pledging for the decks.

Many Thanks in Advance for any thoughts you can share on this matter, that I now realize will be crucial to my being able to put cards safely into everyone's hands!

I couldn't resist these, especially the Elemental decks with their beautiful backs!

So I'm in for a few decks.

But I had to post the following in the Kickstarter Comments section today:

Hey Edgy Brothers, I'm backing you again, but I'd like for you to change part of your deck descriptions.

There's no such thing as a "Bicycle Unbranded" deck.  Your cards are only Bicycle Branded when you pay the extra fees to use their brand.

If you don't pay to have a Bicycle Branded deck, but you have your cards printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC), then they are just USPCC printed cards; and NOT Bicycle anything.

You might also spell out the card stock your decks will be printed on by the USPCC.

But Please remove the Bicycle reference!

You can call me an Omniverous Swine, but I really like these cards; and they make my wife smile too, so I'll be buying a few decks of these.

I think they are beautifully original, and both fun and funny; so I can easily see these being used by me for card games and themed tricks for young and old alike.

I'm currently pledged on 12 active Kickstarter projects, and waiting for 37 more Kickstarter projects that I have paid for that have not been fulfilled!

Thanks for reminding me just how deep I am into this crazy hobby!

Please don't tell my wife...

I'd really like to own one or more of these beautiful decks, but $25 (to the U.S.) for one deck out of the thousands that will be printed is making me think more than twice on this purchase.
