Do you know the size of the print run?

[Rose]

I REALLY like architecture, but can we see more of the deck before we have to sign up for the membership?

[BiggerDee]

One would think that "Architecture" would be different types than just the pagoda on the card shown, but then the Oriental design theme on the tuck may indicate otherwise. I understand that's the theme of their background but at fist glance, all that I think is "Hey, it's a pagoda deck". Waiting to see more...

[PurpleIce]

 This deck is already out in the market. I already saw a USPC Supplier in Singapore selling this deck.
But he was selling at about $15usd....so i was like...nope. Hopefully Club 808 will release them through their website.

Yeah, I just noticed that. Maybe they should rename it to Asian Architecture.

Are the faces standard? I wonder...

I should know as they had an opened deck. But the guy was trying to hard sell so badly that i didnt even dare touch it. He was literally breathing down my neck trying to get me to hold the deck.

I might risk my life and go there again....or we could always get someone to post some pics.

Please don't risk your life, you are too valuable! Someone post some pics so PurpleIce does not need to risk his life in that crazy land of Singapore!

Sorry, but I can't live with this anymore. What does that "Ambassador" mean? Thanks.

Googled it... Hope this helps...
An Ambassador in this context is "a person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity."
"he is a good ambassador for the industry"
synonyms:   campaigner, representative, promoter, champion, supporter, backer, booster
"a great ambassador for the sport"

I think the question was why Rose has this image:

Rose is an official PCF Ambassador, in addition to being the moderator of the sub-board dedicated to the 2014 PCF Awards.

There are still openings in the Embassy if you're interested!

CJB did mention that this wasn't originally distributed in the US, which is why it's a sort of a big deal that it's being offered.  I could not find images for it online.

My apologies.  I should have clarified that I was being a smart ass due to the last sentence of his statement which was obviously a jab at Rose.  Not every post has to be 100% on topic.  Their is such a thing as being cordial and conversational.  Rose is a great representative for this forum.

Without emoticons or direct statements, smartassery doesn't usually translate well into post-ese. 

And YES, there are still OPENINGS if some of you fine members wants to be an Ambassador.  That WASN'T smartassery.  That was blatant recruitment!

My question was about Rose’s badge. I couldn’t imagine that I had to go to “Feedback + Support" branch to find out that Looked for some explanations in this branch of the forum, didn’t find anything, and decided to ask.
Thank you, all, for your answers. They all were useful and amicable.

Still can’t say anything about the deck

[Don Boyer]

The deck seems a bit bizarre, at least what little of it I can see here.  Is it safe to guess that the faces are all USPC standard?  They're trying to take what looks like a rather pedestrian deck and hype it up to be some big prize for being the fastest clicker on Black Friday.

Does anyone have an open deck of these so we can examine them more fully?

I can take a pass on this one, easily.

Welcome Collector and thanks for the link!

Do I really need to write "off topic" every time I go "off topic"? Because I go "off topic" a lot, and if I have to type "off Topic" every time I go "off topic" well that could take a while...

... Welcome Collector and thanks for the link!..

Thanks. I must say, that it’s a little bit strange to be welcomed on this forum these days. While completing the recent Lee’s survey, I couldn’t remember the date of my registration on this forum. I thought 2012. I checked. Nope, it was October, 2011  . So, I have to think that I’ve been absent for a long time

This is off-topic for off-topic of off-topic for a special topic

Concerning the deck... well, you know.

[Don Boyer]

Keep this up, you two, and I'll get you some TOPICal ointment...

(Seriously - please rein it in.  Thanks.) 

[John B.]

I am not a big fan of one way backs, but I kinda like this one. If the outside is an indicator of the inside, I feel the artwork could look nice.
