Seasons Playing Cards - SOLD OUT!

[CBJ]

And before anyone asks.. the price for the collectors sets has not been released.

[Gunshy1]

and pretty much what i got from that was 1st 20$ is awesome! and 2nd REPRINT heck yes! (if they get their money back)

[loldudex2]

It's ashame that there was a mistake, but it doesn't look that noticeable (at least on the computer), and to me it adds more history and story behind the deck. The price is great, and Alex seems like a very nice guy who made sure not one aspect of this deck was left untouched.

I really hope that he will "complete the year" if you know what I mean, with two more Seasons.

[Evan]

It really sucks that there was a misprint. I definitely recommend all of the purple writing in CBJ's post above. I think it shows true dedication that Alex is going to reprint the deck just because of one little mistake. As I've already said, these decks are probably the nicest looking decks I've ever seen and I will definitely be getting some.

My Main worry is whether the site will be able to handle the traffic.
Do we know whether the site will support Paypal for quicker checkout.

It's guna be one hell of a rush!!! 5.11AM wake up once again LOL!

[Collector]

I still have several questions:

1. International shipping costs? I don't believe that Alex doesn't know this information. And I am sure all international customers need this information before release date and time.

2. “While the Primavera Jack of Diamonds itself is fine, the background gradient edges didn't process right.”

From what I see problem is not only with edges. One crown of The Jack of Diamonds is darker than another. I am not a specialist but can someone specify this moment?

3.  “It's unfortunate to have this one blemish ruin what would have been a “perfect set” and to keep our standards of quality we will be reprinting this deck and this time I give you my promise that they’ll be flawless.”

“If we make our money back we’ll reprint this set with our lessons learned from this first round. A second round of  decks would aim to be a bit more affordable as we’ll  drop the foil and embossing processes and run a higher quantity while still keeping the same artwork.”

“…Otherwise if you’re more of a performer, feel free to come back in a couple months for possibly a second set…”

Above-mentioned statements are controversial (and it's a fact don't even try to argue about this). So does it mean that Alex will really reprint this set: a) only if he will make his money back; b) this reprint will have GUARANTEED above-mentioned worth quality of boxes; c) this reprint will have GUARANTEED the same quality of cards?

And finally… am I the only one who thinks that this release still (even with that flawed card) isn't ready for normal sale and 1-2 days delay won't lead to the end of the World but will give a chance to specify some additional questions and avoid further possible curse of Alex? From what I see in the Alex’s statement he needs by itself some extra time to think over this situation for making a right and wise decisions with far-reaching effect.

So does it mean that Alex will really reprint this set: a) only if he will make his money back; b) this reprint will have GUARANTEED above-mentioned worth quality of boxes; c) this reprint will have GUARANTEED the same quality of cards?

The statements aren't controversial to me. Let me give my thoughts on questions a) b) and c).

a) If he only sells 2-bricks of the current run, he won't bother reprintiing them. Does that concern you? It doesn't concern me. He will sell out this run without a problem so it really isn't an issue. This is the best design I've seen in decades and there is no way they don't sell out. Because they aren't a mainstream deck supplier, it make take longer than we expect, but they will go.

b) I don't even understand your question... but the 2nd run boxes will not be of a premium type, in order to make it a deck which is more affordable.

c)The quality of the cards will be the same as the 1st run but the quantity will be higher.

It's all good news unless you just have to have premium boxes. Give me these in plain white boxes and I'll be happy. I just want the cards.

A big problem is that if these start at 25$ a set, with only 1100 sets available, these will probably be sold out in a matter of minutes. I know of very few decks that start at such a price. The price itself may be acceptable, judging by the amount of work put into the deck, but not everyone will be able to get theirs immediately, and many collectors will suffer from the retail price, which, (wait a couple weeks and you'll see I'll be right), will be 2, maybe 3 time higher.

They may or may not sell out that quickly. Certainly there is a lot of interest in them from a couple dozen people on this board, but they may not have the demand that say a Smoke & Mirrors would have, so hopefully they don't sell out right away.

I still dislike the black deck, but I have to say the white version is easily my favorite design in a very long time. Alex clearly put countless hours into this, and it's really nice to see him succeeding as a result.

I mean seriously, you can't look at the white deck and not get excited.

I'll be picking up a set or two in the aftermarket since I'm totally strapped for cash at the moment, what with a $3k computer purchase & car repairs. I'm hoping the prices don't skyrocket too far, but if they do, I still think it's worth it.

I am very impressed with the foil work on the tuck case specifically. I like shiny things.

Obviously people are focused on the cards more than the box but not only are the cards incredible, the boxes are too! They will be seen from a mile away and it's really cool how 2 or more boxes look together.

[loldudex2]

I also am not a huge fan of the black deck, but the red court cards just pop! I love how the gold, red, and white make such a beautiful contrast to the background! I wonder if anyone has the guts to "Sharpie" this deck?

[Robert Butler]

Ok so I know this is in no way fair play but I'm making 4 Seasion Eco clips.  2 for me and two for Alex.  Hmmm yeah those will be fun.

I for one love the black deck! Although that's coming from a cardist's point of view, as I'm sure the white is much more practical for magic.

Either way, one hour left boys!

Doing my squats and Push-Ups getting ready for the release, I am going to pick up a brick.

[vmagic]

So far the website is still not working.

[Evan]

So far the website is still not working.

That seems to be happening to a lot of us. Sometimes when i load the page, it loads correctly but other times, it's just a white screen. I think that once the site goes live, everyone will be able to see the site correctly.

[Gunshy1]

ordering went smoothly for me. any troubles for anybody?

[Eyeball]

I just keep getting a white screen, been refreshing for an hour now...

[LeonJL]

I got my 6 sets.. Had problems when I used my laptop at first, then switched to my ipad and it loaded smoothly.. but the moment I've finished my order, paid, and wanted to just take a second look at the special edition box, i couldn't load it anymore...

[wiepie]

First when I opened the site, it was blank page... then I refresh the page few times its works... and did my orders.

[shutupdangit]

My order went in fine, but their Facebook page is lit up with people saying the site doesn't work.

[Evan]

I had a little trouble with the site being blank but after some patience, I successfully ordered my decks!

[rainking187]

Still blank for me. I still can't believe they apparently didn't consider that things might go wrong if you just put the website up at the last minute.

[Aaron]

No trouble for me at all! Ordered 12 decks! I am very happy I decided to get them Can't wait for them to get to me.
