Also, how did Dan and Dave get away with not mentioning the USPCC anywhere on their smoke and mirrors?

I never realized that!

This is an irritating and funny thing internally due to the fact that our Legal crap changes all the time.
So the rule for now is that on non- Bicycle branded custom stuff you can put "Distributed By (whoever)" so you don't have to mention USPCC. But if you don't put "Distributed By (whoever)" then you need to have the "Manufactured by USPCC"
Make sense?

I honestly think this may be our first playing card project to fail on Kickstarter.

Are you kidding me? To me, this deck is about a thousand times better than the Occupy Wall Street playing cards: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yeslab/deck-the-1-occupywallstreet-playing-cards?ref=live

I mean no offence to anyone, but in my opinion that is one terrible deck.

That deck is not meant for our community~ if you look carefully you can tell that there has actually been a lot of work put into that deck in terms of research and arrangement. This is just taking a template and drawing a few rectangles here and there. The cardistry community expects ALOT better. The politcal community - not so much.

Thanks to 52Cartes for the info

I don't want to be harsh but it's no fun seeing this be the first failed Kickstarter deck project. If they took more than a few weeks to make the deck it seems it could be much more successful.

And on top of that, with all the other Kickstarter campaigns running right now.. it's probably a bad time to start their campaign

I agree. It's a horrible time to launch a kickstarter. With a few already running and the many new releases I'm guessing this one will get brushed aside. I know I won't be funding because of the other kickstarters/decks coming soon.

In my opinion they should have waited a few months to launch the kickstarter and worked on refining and editing the design. Would have worked wonders im guessing

I thought that it was mandatory for boxes to have "Air Cushion Finish" on them, no matter what the finish is.
"Air Cushion Finish" is mandatory if it's a Bicycle branded deck.

No it is not. Mine said Magic Finish.

This Crimson Gate deck is ugly! I would never use the deck if I had it.... i'll pass on this one

SeanWhelan · « **Reply #36 on:** November 17, 2011, 06:12:44 PM »

If this deck succeeds on kickstarter and my Galvanic deck doesn't...then we have a problem.

I agree 100% with everyone post, the designer did seem like he rushed everything.

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #37 on:** November 17, 2011, 06:33:22 PM »

classic face = doesn't want to spend $600 for custom faces. It works out to be $0.12 per deck on a 5,000 run.

Custom AoS + standard AoS = using one of the ad cards as the custom AoS to save money.

SeanWhelan · « **Reply #38 on:** November 17, 2011, 06:43:06 PM »

Theres already a lot of decks being produced that focus around red, death, crimson etc etc.
If the designer broke away from this it might be successful.

Just my 2 cents

It only cost $600 for custom faces?

No, it depends entirely on your cards. The max charge is $800, and it depends how many cards you want to customize. $800 is a lot of money in the long run, considering it is taxed like everything else.

yeah thats true. what is the cost for custom numbering and pips?

I believe customizing the face of any card is in that quote - but I can't be sure since I basically called USPCC and said "whatever the price is for 100% custom faces, I'll do it. Is there any way we can do it for under $1000?" The response I received was "The maximum we would ever charge for custom faces is $800" so I took it.

Again, prices vary deck to deck and month to month.

Oh okay thanks! I had always wondered what the cost was for customizing. Good to know

phantom1412 · « **Reply #49 on:** November 18, 2011, 08:52:05 PM »

I'll pass on this too.

So, I think decks keeping releasing this way, only the good looking one will be successful.
We don't have enough money to buy all. So the more they release, the more picky we will be.
