Almost to the 27,ooo.oo mark for the latest stretch goal.  A little under 200.oo needed.  If you were going to pledge this, don't forget, you only have 46 hours!  Help push it to the next stretch goal!  #Aquila #Kardify #3ofClubs

I recommend not using the letter "o" or "O" as a substitute for a zero.  On the bizarre chance anyone chose to use the number as a search parameter it would never turn up unless they knew exactly how you "spelled" it.  :))

That embossing looks awesome. The middle picture almost looks like another layer on top of the tuck. The print alignment looks spot on.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Really awesome looking decks!

I'm kicking myself for having been out of funds during the KS campaign, and during the pre-order time.

... and so unless the LPCC has a few for sale on their website in the near future, I'll be seeing only sky-high prices on eBay!
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Odds are the decks are not all spoken for already.  Most projects have some amount left over.

Awesome!!

In that case, I'll be able to score a few a few, now that I've sold off some of my USPCC decks :D

Just a quick update, all rewards will be out by Wednesday  :D

We have a few with address issues, but outside of that, pretty much smooth sailing!

I like to hunt and see if I can discover it on my own first. If I fail, I'll definitely be asking for the key.  ;)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

I asked for the key, but as it turns out they fail the riffle test.

I've seen perhaps two designs that didn't fail the riffle test.  One was a Madison deck, I think the Dealers - there was so much pattern and the markings were tiny.  The other is the Bicycle Series 1800 - the aged, weathered look completely conceals the markings because EVERYTHING is changing from card to card...

You saw Sharps with the riffle?
I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

Don, the Madison Dealers definitely do fail the riffle test -- if they didn't, it would have taken my 9 year old cousin a lot longer than 7 or 8 seconds to spot the markings.

The only deck with a "readable" back design that I know of which truly passes the riffle test is the Sharps.

Going back to the Aquilla deck, even if it doesn't pass the riffle test, it's still really cool back design!

It could have been a different deck - he has so many with similar names I can't keep them straight.
