You can buy the Dreamcatcher on fleaBay.  Negotiate with the seller for possible price drop ($15-$20 off).
Good luck~

I admire people who can draw nice and I appreciate quality works done and delivered.

It is hard to satisfy everyone but I do respect to designs from creator's own idea.  That is how exactly KickStarter works because of majority opinion wins!

Now days quality of American living goods are going downhill because things can be produced cheaper from oversea places.  Just recently I start collecting playing cards and studied about USPCC stop using quality stock paper (UV500?), and my guess it is all about the cost.  The tucks can labeled  "Made in USA" but who actually knows where the raw materials came from.  Trees in China or inks from India maybe?  And now for an average deck price at $11 on KS but still cannot bring back the quality paper.

Your idea is valuable and priceless to me!

I love the back design on the first!
Will you add seals and maybe consider cello-wrap it this time?

Nice looking arts.

I am still a newbie so please excuse me that I don't know what exactly I am looking at.
About the "President Suspenders" deck, I wonder what were the printing methods to put on the faces; because the bodies and the faces seem to have different "finishing".

Yup.... Copy-and-paste on your browser's address filed is a dangerous action because it can contain personal information.

Introduce Yourself / Hello from California
« on: August 01, 2014, 03:10:03 PM »
Hello world!

I am Joseph and I am in San Jose, California.

It was a few months ago when one of my bud gave me a set of “Book of Black Cards” for B’day because we used to play cards during college years.  He knows I love weird toys because of my man-cave project.  I looked at the decks and say “Huh, strange looking Bicycle cards!” 

So I set it aside and forgot about it.  Until about two months ago while doing grocery at Costco, and wife asked me to get some poker cards because cousins were staying over for one weekend.  While I pick up the brick at Costco, the Bicycle logo reminds me about those black color decks from my bud.  Then I went home and dug out the BOBC, and I was wondering about these special Bicycle decks that I don’t see them during any normal day.   After some research time spent on Internet I become hooked on collecting Bicycle branded decks. 

Now I have to say I am obsessed to Bicycle decks.  These custom designed decks are all unique, neat, and with so many behind-the-scenes stories to tell.  I read creators’ notes, watching videos of creation process, and I enjoy to handle the decks without open them.  For some reason I tell myself that I can own pretty decks but I cannot afford to open them….  I think I am sick!

Again, I am new to this forum and just saying hello to everyone.

Joseph
