For a design website, they're not outrageously expensive.  Nice.

It's possible they don't really know how the first run increased in value, after they sell out in a few days - i'm sure they'll have an idea.

These are the Part 2 decks - he may have accounted for the popularity and ordered a larger print run.  Plus it's not like Touch of Modern is charging MSRP on this, either.

Yup, I know it's the part 2 decks. Part 2 decks don't have an increased 'value' as they're not yet available.

I was referring more to the fact that if Jackson knew the demand based on the results of Part 1, he might have used some of his funds to increase the size of the print runs for Part 2, thus making the decks a little more common and putting less pressure on the aftermarket price to rise as high as it did for Part 1.

I believe that it's a credit for referrals to the TOM site. There was a "Invite friends earn $" section on the TOM home page. $25 credit when 10 friends sign up through your personal link. Other higher and lower levels as well.

Don is accurate (as usual) about the pricing on Touch of Modern. I was a little less skiddish and more flexible with capital after the first project and was able to buy more decks of the part II decks. That is the explanation of the drop in the retail of the decks price.

22USD for a Reserve Note/Silver Cert on the Touch of Modern website.

It's worth noting they only ship to the US and Canada, and it's a pre-order also.
They can ship to a mail forwarding service. I did that last time when I bought Seasons and Artisans from them.

You should bust that guy's chops - the one that's already selling it on eBay.  Ship to him last or something!  Make him sweat!  :))

I hate when people sell things they don't even have in their possession yet.  Anything could happen before the seller takes possession that would prevent the item from being shipped to the buyer.  Often they don't even list it as a pre-sale.

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
Jackson,
I cannot get over how much I love that black Reserve Note, I could not be more jealous I won't have one. They aren't even out yet. Pre-jealousy.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

The seller is listed as "punkrok0007". I wonder if they reused that for their Kickstarter screen name? It would be hilarious if that was true.

As per eBay, the seller must clearly list it as a pre sale. Unfortunately eBay can't catch everything and always know what's a pre sale and wants not. I don't see a problem with it as long as they follow the rules set by eBay. The person should not be penalized by receiving items late. They bought the product like everyone else. If the decks arrive damaged and they can't fulfill the commitment to buy, the seller should simply issue a refund. Rarely does that happen.

Yeah, I get all of that, but the idea of someone selling an item they don't even yet possess has a sleazy feel to it in my mind.  Certainly the seller is taking a risk in the event the item does arrive later than planned - last I checked, that doesn't usually add up to positive feedback.

The blacks are beautiful. I can't wait to get mine in! I wish that I had the full sedt box and the single deck box, but it's hard for me to put money towards extra add-ons when that money could go towards an extra deck or two! I guess that I'm just really, really obsessed with the decks themselves! I've backed over 70 decks on KS, but just this year pledged for my first non-deck item, but it was far too gorgeous to resist. I still wish that I had gotten a few more of the decks too.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem!! :-)

I was able to pledge for 1 LE. It was tough to do at $40. I almost backed out of it a couple times. Glad I didn't. Unfortunately I will never see the black cards in hand. Don't plan to open it.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Got all of my decks for Fed 52 part 2  and everything was perfect.  Great packaging also. And those coins look awesome. I did not realize how beautiful they were until I had them in hand.  Good Job Jackson

Still haven't received my wooden case. I believe he said they'd all be out by the end of the year. Not too tore up about it though, with all the other shipping problems he's been having.

Sorry you haven't received you case yet. I have those personally and will be shipping those out very soon. I was in a small accident and have been incapacitated for the past few days.

God damn, Jackson has produced some of the most beautiful artwork I've ever seen on a deck of cards.
