USPCC  kickstarter document

USPCC has a "kickstarter document"?  Looks like you found it online - where?

I've spoken with Bill Kalush, the head of the Conjuring Arts Research Center.  According to him, that's what they tell the small customers.  When you're making several decks with them, they're willing to work with you to create something different - such as his finish on the Bee Erdnase 216.

Now, the really big question is - why are you posting this here?  This is about the Bicycle UC deck.  Are you trying to tell us something, because if so, I think you're short a few sentences there...  :))

"Only 2,500 of these decks will be made and only 1200 will be made available on Kickstarter."

Will the rest be sold elsewhere? If so, what is the advantage of preordering via Kickstarter, as opposed to purchasing them after the preorder is concluded? Will there be a price difference or something?

I think the direct sales + Kickstarter the number of decks has to be very close to 2500.

The other decks are sold (pre-order) to the members of UnitedCardists. Its cheaper but has less rewards (like the free grid deck etc.)

Hey Everyone,

We added a bonus item to the UC Deck today. Any 12 Deck order will come with a FREE Midnight Cards Custom Brick Box (including past PayPal Pre-Orders). They are the same print-quality and thickness as the ORNATE and BC Luxury Boxes and are also hand-signed.

On a side note - I shutdown the Midnight Cards' Store on April 1st, so none of the custom boxes will be available ala carte any longer.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2049050533/bicycle-unitedcardistscom-playing-cards?ref=search

Thanks, Randy

A message from Mike (bmpokerworld)
"I just wanted to take 5 minutes and give everyone an update. The cards came in late this afternoon. We have approximately 163 orders that were placed through the forum. All 163 orders, minus a few that we have an address problem with, will ship tomorrow. All the shipping labels have been printed and about 100 orders have been packed. Everyone has received a tracking number. If you didn't get it, please check your spam folder. In any event, I will not be able to provide tracking numbers to anyone that has missed placed them or didn't get them for some reason, until Monday.

BTW, the decks look amazing!!!

Thanks!"

Sweet! Thanks Angel Magic.

My package is coming either today or Monday. I'm mostly curious to see how the green foil looks on the Tuck insides. The Imperial Deck will have gold foil on the Tuck inside, so it will be good to see the results in advance!

Thanks, Randy

I've just received this deck the past few days, and they are absolutely amazing. There's so much detail put into the tuck box and the cards look amazing.

Dude, that's not a shoe, it's a freakin' aircraft carrier!  :))

They are actually pretty nice. Lightweight and cushioned.

Don, I'm impressed! Instead of the normal "boat" reference, you used aircraft carrier! I haven't heard that one before, very good!.

Yep, size 15. I wear running shoes simply because they are so lightweight. If your foot is this big, heavy shoes will have you worn out by the end of the day!

Those are no boats - way too small...  Those are SHIPS.  :))

I get where you're coming from on the heavier footwear.  That happens when I've been wearing my work boots for a long enough time.  Just a size 10, though - more of a destroyer compared to yours...

But back on topic - I got my deck and I was pretty impressed with the narrowness of the margin (USPC must've had a field day getting those done right) and the foil in the tucks is a very nice touch.  If they were a bit more reflective and a different color, the tucks could make excellent shiners...  :))  But that's a topic for the Magical Cardistry Bonanza...

My youngest daughter (11) isn't impressed with a lot of the cards that I purchase (and I buy a LOT). She absolutely loves these!
