Goal is $6,000.
$6 per deck early bird.
Early bird two is $8 per deck.
Regular is $11 per deck.

International is confused.  Here are the words in the early bird reward: "One (1) E8 Garden Deck of Playing Cards w/ free US Shipping. Order additional decks for $6 per deck w/ free shipping in the US (International orders add $3 per deck).    Add $5 to ship outside the US"  So maybe International is supposed to add $3 per deck for each additional deck *plus* pay $5 shipping.  Or maybe it's just a mistake and it's really just $5 extra.  Or maybe $3 extra.  The graphic (shown above) just mentions $3 shipping for International.  Either way, 11 people have pledged at that level so Kickstarter won't let him correct the error.  The error is repeated in early bird two and regular, but at least no one has pledged there.

The project creator says all the artwork is complete, which means (if you look closely at the uncut) all four kings are the same graphic as each other--no distinction among the suits.  Same with the queens (one graphic) and the Jacks (one graphic).  So a total of 8 graphics in the deck: 4 aces, 3 courts and 1 joker.  Plus the card back.

And here's me hoping it was the creator of the Truth Garden decks looking for a little help in launching the white 04 deck! I realize I misread the title, but it was still pretty disappointing!!

Looking at this deck makes me want cauliflower cheese.

I hereby propose that at the end of the year we have a contest to name the Worst Deck of the year.  (I don't think this will be the winning deck; at least the Photoshopping is interesting.)  Who's with me?

Some would think you've run out of creative ways to illustrate how distasteful you find this deck, now who's being lazy. :P 

I think the pledge image is creative ($6 for seedlings).  I wasn't really sure if I was getting a deck of cards, or an eggplant with stems growing out of each end...(I'm hoping for the eggplant).

Well, I might have done something better, had I known the BBcode for vegetable-vomit icons...  I could try these, if they were one icon combined...

Broccoli and artichokes? Really? REALLY?

I'd like to comment further, but I am so utterly stunned at the moment...

Dear Lord, SIXTY-TWO backers?

Had I read all of the back of the tuck box I would have understood that it was created by a "visionary creative services house".  In China they call those Opium Dens.  :P  I don't hate that they have nice veg images on the cards, I hate that it bores me to the point that I want to stick an asparagus in my eye.  That and I will continue to state that vegetables only connect to a plant on one end, if you making a realistic image of veg deck, don't GMO the thing!

Two things:

1. Why are the jokers jack'o'lanterns?

2. Why is the uncut sheet in a weird order?

Apart from that, as much as I love vegetables, I don't think I want to look at them in this much detail unless they're in a damn sexy looking stew.
