Jets in the corner sounds like a good idea.  If you make the change, replace it on your Kickstarter ASAP.  You might get a couple more backers.  I guess don't worry about the video.  It has your old back.  Who watches the video anyways?

So here is my question; if I change up the back side much more I think the best thing to do is to throw out the Maiden Back design altogether and go with my own design which I am completely capable of doing, but if I do that, is it better to just drop in the change or reset the whole project?  I'm worried people will cry fowl if I just drop it in saying that they didn't sign on for that.  I'm wondering if I should shut it down and redo the back and tuck case, possibly in black to start with.  What do you guys think? I still think the overall concept of the project is solid and will be successful, but in the end I want to do it right.

@Spottercards - Your pips and Courts are functionable, but your back has a fundamental flaw.  Turn the jet around.  When I see it. I see birds, then some clouds, and something that looks like soft grass that the jet is going to crash into.  If you turn the jet around, you could maybe turn the grass into a swirl of jet gas...  Then I would like your back...


Lets be consistent like your other cards in pic #2....

sprouts1115, I have also not been 100% happy with the F-35 looking like it was about to crash and have been playing with it for some time.  My first attempt at making it look like swirls of jet gas did not come out too good so I tried one with the existing grass and I am 80% happy with it.  I also decided to change the birds in the sky into stars, still thinking about this one.  I wanted to share it with you guys and get your thoughts before I chose to implement it.  Please take a look and tell me what you think.  At this point I am still partial to the "clipart" style of F-35 because I think it makes it stand out even from a distance when you print it out to the size of the actual card.  Other styles have gotten lost in the rest of the card.  I appreciate your input.

I pledged for it, but I'd really like to be able to add on a deck. An early bird 2-deck tier would be fantastic.

I did create an add-on list and prices if you want to add a deck or two though I have kept the prices equal to the non-earlybird setting.  Let me think about the two-deck early bird idea and we will see.

I am struggling with the price on an individual deck, when I started out l compared over 30 of the most successful playing card projects and over 60% of them had a price set at $15.  I understand that there are some really elegant decks out there, but there was enough of what I would consider on par with my project that did just fine at $15.  Part of what makes this stand out is the fact that every single card is custom, not just the royalty.  I want this to be successful, but at the same time worthwhile.  Any thoughts?

I have been working closely with USPCC on this project.  The back I'm using is what is called the 'maiden back' and is not the 'rider back' that is still trademarked.  USPCC supplied me the ai files of the maiden back and said that I was free to use it and I have sent it in to them for approval.  The rider back version has cupid like illustration in the corners and not a woman and the sides are more like spades than hearts.  USPCC also wanted me not use the Bicycle name for some reason with the mention that they are considering reprinting the WWII deck sometime in the future.

As far as the planes themselves, I have done a pretty exhaustive search on what is considered intellectual property and I have not come up with anything that should stop this project.  thanks for your input, I am really excited with the responses I have gotten so far.

I have an incredible new Kickstarter deck of Playing Cards to share with you.  The cards are a modern twist to what are known as Spotter Cards created during WWII for Allied forces to help memorize and identify the silhouettes of aircraft so that they can tell friend from foe.  I have designed playing cards that depict the silhouettes of 52 different fighter planes that are still actively being used throughout the world.  From the F-22 to the MiG, I have done the research and graphics for all 52 cards and created a deck of cards that are amazing!  Please check them out, you can find them at Kickstarter under the name of "Modern Fighter Plane Spotter playing Cards".  Please share this to anyone you think might be interested!  Kickstarter is all about getting the word out and creating a buzz for your project, thank you for your help!
