Bicycle Bronze Age Deck now added to the Coat of Arms & Dark Ages (KS)

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

The past day and half has been amazing!  What an incredible start to the relaunch.  Everyone has been so supportive and positive about the relaunch.  We have hit $8,111 with 200 plus backers.  We are half way to the $16,000 goal.  Thanks everyone!  Lets hit the goal and start working on some stretch goals!  I have a few more stretch goal plans in the works that I will release once we hit the initial goal of $16,000.

As a reminder the Dark Ages Limited Edition Deck will be limited to only 1,000 decks.  They have been going really fast!

Lets continue to spread the word about the project with family and friend.  I cant say this enough, Thank you to all of the backers and supporters of this project!  I cant do it without each and everyone of you!

Thanks,

Justin

I really like this recolor on the card faces, I prefer it over the black edition. Would be nice to see the full card back though. Going to be a little rough hitting that stretch given the design of the campaign. I am very hopeful it happens. Any projection on how many I can add if you hit the stretch?

Aren't these printed by EPCC or am I confused?

There's no way on Earth EPCC will be printing Bicycle-branded decks unless Hell freezes over first.

The Bicycle decks MUST be a USPC print job.  The unbranded decks could be any printer, but judging from what's been said, I'm inclined to think he's planned on using USPC all along.

Yea Don, it makes no sense at all. I was pretty sure he stated he'll have them printed by EPCC on his kickstarter page. Just checked and yea it clearly states in big bold letters "Custom deck of playing cards inspired by Coat of Arms. Featuring Coat of Arms Deck and Dark Ages Special Edition Decks printed by EPCC." I don't understand why have two decks printed by EPCC then the third printed by USPCC, if that's the case. I was in the middle of a break earlier during a poker game didn't have much time to post clearly haha.

Justin, would you mind clarifying what you have planned? At the moment this is about as a clear as mud.

Hey Guys,  Sorry for any confusion.  Coat of Arms and Dark Ages Deck will be printed by EPCC  and if I hit my stretch goal the bronze deck will be printed by USPCC with the Bicycle Brand.  Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know. Glad you like the bronze deck as well!

Fes - I am having the main two cards printed by EPCC because they are an excellent manufacture will a high quality product and excellent tuck cases and the min order of each deck can be 1,000.  With the min order lower I was able to lower my campaign goal and lower the price on my dark ages deck.  I know there are some people that would like a Bicycle deck printed by USPCC and I have had some request so as a stretch goal I will be able to offer the Bicycle Bronze deck!

[Fess]

Ahh okay, thanks Justin that helps. I know there are a lot of people who don't care for one or the other. I'm pretty easy, I like USPCC and I like EPCC LPCC too they all make great decks. 

With USPCC minimal order being 2.5k seems like a lot of waste just to get a bicycle branded deck out, when you've said 1.5k for sale on the bronze. That's an interesting and expensive decision to make. What will you be doing with the remaining decks? I think it's safe to assume the vast majority of them will make it through shipping without damage.

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

Hey Fes, Here is the back design as you request! 

[Fess]

Thanks for the image Justin. Really like the recolor a lot. I think they're going to be impressive on the table.

Here is one of my favorite cards from the deck!

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

I had a few questions on how I was able to offer my Bicycle Branded Bronze Age Deck at such a low goal.  Well since it is official I can talk about it!

Bicycle is printing 1,000 deck runs!

I was asked not to say anything until it was official and I just got the word I can let it be known that Bicycle is printing 1,000 deck runs.

 that is the explanation on how I can offer the Bicycle Branded Deck at a low Goal!

Go pledge for your decks now!  Only 11 days left!  Thanks for all of the support!

Thanks to all of your support the other exciting news it I hit my goal on Kickstarter!  The decks will be printed!

I cant say it enough thanks for everyone's support!

I can vouch for this.  Now does EPCC and MPC have an edge?  Think about it.

[Fess]

It's great to see the deck unlocked Justin and congratulations on reaching funding. That's my favorite of the three deck colors. Also very interesting news you've brought us from USPCC. 1,000 deck print run is something to talk about.

I was wondering if the Bronze Age deck tuck will have any foil or embossing on it.

I am glad you like the Bronze Deck and I am excited to have been able to unlock it!  With the Bronze Age Deck I would like to add some special features to the deck but I will have to see where we end up on the funding total, if there is room in the budget I will make the deck as cool as possible!   

Thanks for your support!

I've spoken with some people about this.  The primary reason they're doing the shorter runs is that they want to be competitive with EPCC and LPCC.  MPC is still not there yet on the quality, at least not that I've seen - which admittedly is very little.  The consensus I've heard is that they're great for prototyping but the quality's not on par with these other publishers.

My Update I posted on Kickstarter

Hey Everyone!  This has been a great week!  Along with surpassing the goal we released the Bicycle Brand Bronze Age Deck!  And NOW ,since we hit $17,000, we have unlocked the Poker Chip Sets Stretch goal!
That's right, the poker chip sets have been unlocked!
Below is a longer update than usual but I have lots of great info to share!  Keep reading! 
You can now purchase the 100, 300, or 500 ceramic poker chip set.  The chips come in a unique, hand crafted wooden box engraved with the Coat of Arms Ace of Spades. The poker chips sets also include 1 Coat of Arms Deck and 1 Bicycle Branded Bronze Age Deck.  The poker chips are ceramic just like the poker chips you will find in Vegas!  The poker chip sets are perfect for your home games!  Imagine easily stacking your ceramic chips in front of you as you rake in that big pot!  (as many poker players knows the "basic plastic chips" are hard to stack and don't feel the best when you are shuffling your chips)  The poker chips colors are also inspired by the "standard Vegas colors".  Casinos go by a standard color scheme:  green chips = $25, Orange Chips = $50, Black Chips = $100, Purple Chips = $500, and Yellow Chips = $1000. 
Another thing I am excited to share is when you order a poker chip set you can customize which color combo you would like in increments of 20 chips per color.  For example you can customize a 200 chip set :  100 green chips, 80 black chips and 20 yellow chips.  Or go with my home game combo which includes chips in each color and instructions for the perfect home game.  My home game blind structure and chip count is perfect for the family or for  those serious home games and tournaments! 
Only 8 days left in the campaign so pick up a poker set now!  New poker set rewards have been added on the right of the campaign page or you can add them as an Add-On to your current reward. 

Thank you very much for all of the support!  I am so excited that this project is a success.  Let's keep sharing and spreading the word.  There is still the gaffe card stretch goal and pick a poster stretch goal left.  I know we can get there with your help!
Thank you,
Justin

Hello,

I just want to address any concerns with the new development of the 1,000 run from Bicycle. Yes they informed me that they are not moving forward with the 1,000 release. That being said, They are not moving forward with any new decks until their preliminary trial is over. They are still honoring the agreement I had with them. This does not change anything for my current kickstarter project. The Bicycle Bronze Age Deck will still be printed at a minimum of 1,000.

Here is the snap shot of the email I received.

Thank you!
