That was me being a smartass. Nothing is changing.

Haters gunna hate and nitpickers gunna nitpick.

We're just anxious to get your fine-lookin' Western-stylin' deck, is all...

Update 13!!
Look like the prototype deck is in! Here's what Russell said,

Quote

The deck looks and feels perfect! Bicycle has done a wonderful job matching my on screen designs with a real product. The reds and blues really pop off the cards and the detailing is razor sharp.

This is the prototype and it is missing the CUSTOM SEAL, which I am keeping a secret until I deliver them to you. Also, a few eagle eyed people might notice the box is not embossed, not to worry, the final product will be!

I went ahead and have given the OK to print the deck. It shouldn't be too much longer now, but in the mean time here are a few pics of the deck to wet your appetites. I'll have better photos when I get to my studio on Monday.

Check out the pictures...

What do y'all think?

What I think is that it leaves me speechless! Nice job Russel!

Did you back for any? And like many people will say, there is going to be many resellers! I think Don is reselling these (although it might be the Revision 1s, I can't remember).

@brown_baggs, no I didn't back the project but that doesn't mean I don't like this deck. I will try to get some later if possible. (I got no idea of how KS works until I backed the Tendril deck)

They're beautiful Russell!

I love the stain spot on the tuck box corner.

thanks, Randy

What a fantastic looking deck... In all respects... Any idea when we'll be able to purchase these on your site?

dmbaggs · « **Reply #58 on:** February 10, 2012, 07:57:18 PM »

I have to say that I'm super excited for the custom seal! Not many decks these days have those. It's a nice little bonus

can't wait to get my hands on the one! So sexy

Evan · « **Reply #59 on:** February 10, 2012, 07:58:40 PM »

That looks like the nicest vintage looking deck. Beats the 1800 decks from E!
Very nice job!

phantom1412 · « **Reply #60 on:** February 10, 2012, 08:33:44 PM »

I can wait to get these too.
Also, does anyone have info about the dices?

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #61 on:** February 10, 2012, 10:10:31 PM »

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments!

Things seem to be picking up steam on the production, I hope to have them 'soon'. The prototype is perfect, I can't believe how great the colors have turned out. I really hope everyone likes the seal I have designed (I am keeping it a secret), anyone who collects old cards will love it! Unfortunately the proto does not have embossing, USPCC outsources that.

I'm going to take some better pictures once I get to my studio either Sunday or Monday.

jmrock · « **Reply #62 on:** February 10, 2012, 10:19:16 PM »

I think I see a Tax Stamp Style Seal in the future... Wow... That would just set this deck off right...

K · « **Reply #63 on:** February 11, 2012, 12:34:28 AM »

oh god I love typewriters!!! :-X :-X :-X haha just kidding, I love the vintage card look, the colours used, the customed court cards, basically everything!!! (I still love typewriters!!) I missed out on the kickstarter though, was new then..

hope they're out before the revision 1s get sold out!!! hate shipping costs!!!!

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #64 on:** February 11, 2012, 01:20:42 AM »

actually our shipping isn't bad

we ship 1-2 decks for only $3.00
we ship the 'buy 7 get 1' for only $5.35
and the 12 deck brick is only $11.35

we charge approximately what USPS does... we change for 'S' & not 'H'.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #65 on:** February 11, 2012, 05:27:48 AM »

That's not bad shipping at all!! It almost makes me want to snag a couple more from the website haha

@magicaddictz it does smash the series 1800 deck! Although there are some major differences between the two. That was just a "vintage" looking deck and this one is both that and western themed.

You are correct, sir! I have an order in for a gross of these for resale. I have a silent partner who fronted the cash; he gets his initial investment back, then we split profit 50/50.

I'm holding off on posting the sale until I'm actually holding the cards in my hands.

If I get international buyers, I'll figure out the costs using various methods from the USPS and let you choose which you want. My personal favorite is Priority Mail International, since you get a good mix of speed and affordability.

I will also have an UNCUT SHEET for sale!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #67 on:** February 11, 2012, 06:24:46 AM »

Dang sounds like you got it all figured out!

I'm have to hit you up for that uncut! Depends on the price though.

When the time comes, it'll be negotiable. Soon, very soon...

The uncut was sort of a bonus - if I can sell the cards at about the MSRP, my partner and I'll do OK on this deal.

---Shameless Self Promotion---

We are giving away 5 sleeves for the 12 pack bricks on Facebook right now. All you have to do is 'like' the photo and be our friend. The box looks like an old crate with branding. There will be more pictures released throughout the week.

I am only having 20 of these sleeves made up:
5 to give away on Facebook (this week)
5 to sell with 12 decks of Americana cards
5 to random Kickstarter backers
and the last 5 will be given away at random times/places.

Check it out by clicking the Facebook link in my signature.

jmrock · « **Reply #71 on:** March 09, 2012, 11:57:07 AM »

Sounds great, but when are those who missed kickstarter going to be able to order the decks? I don't do Facebook, so am I S.O.L.... Thanks, J.Rock

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #72 on:** March 09, 2012, 12:12:46 PM »

We'll be selling the decks (and a couple sleeves) on our site when they come in from USPCCC/Bicycle.

if we order a brick of amerciana can we get the sleeves?

It doesn't sound like you will be able to do that. I think they will only be selling the sleeves.
