Funding successful with 704% and 476 backers! Congratulations Cosmo Solano!

I realised I pledged on the 27th February, just as the second print run with black seals was being offered! So, it seems I just missed out on the first run which is a shame, but nevertheless, I'm looking forward to handling these cards. Although, like the Fantastique decks, I don't think I'm going to want to shuffle them!
Oh, Lawd!

Congradulations of Funding, I didn`t pledge because I just didnt feel that it was my kind of deck, But Congratz nontheless.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Thanks everyone for everything!
Very excited right now, what a huge success this was for me!

Between kickstarter and the prior commitments to my distributor and a few other larger distributors I came close to needing a third edition!

Thanks all!

Congratulations on the funding! Let's hope the whole printing process goes smoothly and we could have these decks in our hands in no time!

Well, all looks good on scheduled production, as expected we should ship these in April.
There are no issues and there won't be any changes, in fact all has been approved now for over a week.

Thanks for all the Kudos!

That sounds great, but remember - at this stage, it's all in USPC's hands!  They have a unique knack of finding ways and reasons for delaying some print jobs, particularly if you are an independent operator and not a big company.  Just don't make any promises the USPC won't let you keep!  :))

Yes I know Don, that's exactly why I choose my words carefully!  As I said, so far, everything has gone nicely, including getting on the print Queue as expected. 

And that's also why I make sure everyone knoww I'll keep them updated. Stuff happens and if it does we'll keep an eye on it! 
Over all I know how long some have waited for their decks, and that sometimes uspcc is blamed, but as I've discovered, some of the delays were actually just that, blamed on USPCC even though there were other reasons...

I worked with them years ago, they had the same reputation of being difficult etc, but they were awesome to me then as they have been lately!


Thanks again Don!

Hey everyone... I'm quite a bit less experienced in the world of card collecting than most of you, with the SPECTRUM deck I've gotten many requests for signed decks.  One person asked me to "carefully" open the cellophane, sign the box and put the box back into the cellophane.  I know how much of a pain that is as I do an effect that requires that. 

Is it common to sign ON the cellophane, or remove the cellophane and sign the box?
With several hundred decks to sign it will take FOREVER to remove and replace the box!

Thanks in advance!

Oh just for fun, if you haven't seen it yet, here's a photo my rep at USPCC sent me:

Different people sign differently. D&D signs on cello, Lance does what was requested I you and others sign on the tuck without cello. You are the one doing the signing, so do what you are comfortable with.

I think it would be best to sign on the box not the cello because the cello signing could rub off/ smudge. Also that picture looks awesome! Kinda wishing I would have pledged for one now...

I would sign on the cello because it doesn't rub off and it preserves as much of the value of the deck as possible. Those uncuts look awesome Coz. Grats on the printing!

I personally would sign on the cello. As Nathan stated, it preserves value. Also, I have never had one of my cello signed decks smudge or lose the sig over time

I was told by a few others that there's no issue with the cello smudging as well!

thanks!
BTW there will still be a few uncuts available on my site later, shortly after I get everything shipped etc.
