An update from the man himself... Russell Kercheval.

[/size]DECEMBER UPDATE:Still on track. Over the past month I have completed the designs (see below) worked out a few contracts and have contacted a fulfillment company. Not much in the realm of update-worthy news, mostly behind the scenes technicalities. I am hoping to have the cards in my hands around late January, but with the holidays coming up and the back and forth of final revisions (prototypes and proofs) I am guessing February would be a more realistic timeframe. USPCC/Bicycle is the best company out there for making cards and the little bit of extra time it takes to produce the cards is completely worth the wait. I can't wait to get these cards in your (and my!) hands. SURVEYS:I will send out the surveys a week or so before the cards arrive. An announcement or update will be made on here to let everyone know when to expect them in your email. I am waiting much longer this time to ensure I get your most accurate mailing information. PICS:In lieu of any concrete information, I have produced a few 'behind the scenes' pictures, sort of a quick overview of the design process. Here are a few random cards. Enjoy.[/font]

I'll have a few larger picture to show at a later time.
Again, thanks to all of you for your support and patience! I'll be posting the next update when I get some real news for you! Thanks!

i just saw the post on my email today .. i really lilke the king of clubs but not the queens of heart but still good design

It somehow different from what I thought.
The number's font and the face of the court card somehow feeling strange.
However, I think it's still cool.

This was a very fun update for me to read over! I really enjoyed getting a little update and being able to see a few behind the scenes pictures. It's also nice to be able to see the custom suits. I for one am a fan of the pips and the court cards. (what does everybody else think of them??)

It is a bummer to have to wait until February but it'll be worth it, I'm sure. Just like waiting for the Revision 1 deck the Vortex deck will be/has been.

The overall design is cool, the custom pip shapes are cool, but those numbers and letters seem a little odd to me, like they don't blend with the theme. A "circus" or "playbill" font or something else more Western might have been a less jarring choice.

I really like the design, it reminds me of the old western days, which means it's doing it's job. I can't wait to get them in my hands!

it kind of look like the vintage series 1800 design

The cowboy court card and the america flag box made the difference.

If you do a little research you will find it right on the kickstarter page. I think that the AoS looks pretty good!!

I'm posting a sale for them when I get them - I went in with a silent partner and bought a gross; twelve bricks.

Howdy Pardners!In my last update I said I'd have some real news, and I do! My Bicycle rep emailed me the digital proofs. I've looked them over and didn't find anything wrong. The next step is to have Bicycle print up a one-off physical proof, an actual deck. Once I can see that the colors are perfect and everything lines up correctly I'll give them the go ahead to print up the whole lot for you guys!
She also has told me that USPCC is really busy right now with huge orders already in the works. Apparently they got a few orders from the major retailers over the winter break/new years and it has slowed progress down a bit. We are anticipating a late-February or early-March release for the deck. I just want to get you guys the best deck out there and Bicycle, backed-up as they are, is the best company out there for making cards.
Here is what the uncut sheets will look like, it is also one of my digital proofs! The two top left cards are the Jokers and the bottom right two cards are the gaff/trick cards"

Ohh, and someone asked if all the queens were sleazy bar girls with boobs. Nope, see below!

Those look awesome! I wasn't able to get any at the Kickstarter but I hope to by some of them soon!

@CBJ, where did he post that?

phantom1412 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:13:04 PM »

Hey,

He posted an update on Kickstarter, but I also received an update e-mail.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this deck. More so than any other deck in recent history... Keeping the bicycles on the Jokers is great and the Suicide King with the gun to his head is just fantastic!!!

munro159 · « **Reply #41 on:** January 27, 2012, 12:27:22 AM »

I liked the sleazy bar girl with boobs queen....or wait...maybe I just like sleazy bar girls with boobs!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #42 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:19:37 AM »

This was a nice little update indeed! I'm really looking forward to this one, but we still have quite a wait (which isn't always a bad thing). Hopefully he gets the physical proof and all is well so the we get this deck as soon as possible

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #43 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:19:45 PM »

The physical proof has been ordered. and the digital proofs of the cards/box is amazing looking in full size!

I am truly pleased how this is turning out!

Jin Jian · « **Reply #44 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:25:35 AM »

this is what he wrote in the comment section ... I should probably just start all over, I hope you guys don't mind waiting until July!
Haha, seriously though, I did move some stuff around and resized some elements to give it that non-uniform look. It is a deck from the old west remember!
Thanks for the input everyone!

Either hawjinjian contacted Russell directly, or this is his attempt at humor.

i really see that ..his comment is the last third .. omg am i seeing things

dmbaggs · « **Reply #48 on:** January 29, 2012, 01:56:07 PM »

I found it haha It's a comment he made on his newest update. So it is not in the comments section of the Kickstarter project, but instead in the comments of his latest update on the kickstarter project... did that clear it up? $:-\$

He seems to be joking more than he is being serious. I'm sure he's making some changes, but I don't think it will really push it back that far. Maybe a couple of weeks but not until July.... I hope!

He made some comments on here on the same day and I think he would of mentioned anything serious. So hopefully nothing to worry about!

That was me being a smartass. Nothing is changing.
