Nice, I also missed the Scarlett Tally Ho's but will try and pick a couple up on ebay for extortionate prices. Anyone got any idea when the scarlets are expected to be released?

This was the KS Update posted by Jackson a few days ago:

Hello everyone, I'm excited to announce that the Scarlett Tally Hos should be finished and complete ready to ship this week. Barring some unforeseen production hickup we should be on track to fulfill the Scarlett Tally Hos in April as originally estimated. Once I receive the decks, which should be later this week, there will be some quality control to take care of. Until then get ready guys these decks are awesome, and you are going to love them.

A recolor deck? Guess we will see if the people that are so aggressively against recolor projects will make allowances for a KW deck.

Rob Wright · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2015, 09:50:48 PM »

Not a recolor.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #7 on:** April 16, 2015, 10:27:23 AM »

I very much like what I'm seeing here. The design's a little elaborate, but I'm still very interested. I'm hoping that this one isn't a highly-limited edition.

Justin O. · « **Reply #8 on:** April 16, 2015, 01:36:57 PM »

Glad to see the backs got a little more retreatment than the QoH, but it still feels like a recolor to me. Small changes (small aesthetically, not physically) to an existing design doesn't say 'new deck' to me. regardless it is still an attractive design in green. I wonder if he will to the same exceptionally limited release he did for Scarlett..?

Fess · « **Reply #9 on:** April 17, 2015, 12:57:32 AM »

I'm digging on the green and purples showing up on decks now. I appreciate the flavor and I'll be a backer for these. That's all I know haha.

It might not. The Scarlett didn't. He held a "crowdfunding/pre-sale" on his own site.

EDIT: correction - it was on KS. But that's what he did for the first TH deck he made. I knew he did it before. He also did that for the Hive deck, at least the first edition.

I think you're thinking of the 1st Tally-Ho that Jackson did (Blue and Yellow)

This Saturday... Bad choice of day from the buyer's perspective - people have to pay rent/mortgages at the start of the month!

Doesn't matter, though - I see this as being a big seller, whatever level Jackson chooses for pricing. What I REALLY would love to see is a new Tally Ho back with USPC standard faces that's in regular production - but I probably stand a better chance of seeing the inside of the Forbidden City.

Fess · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2015, 03:00:42 AM »

When it ends is more important than when it starts in terms of paying bills I think. It won't matter either way to some people, like myself, who are attached and attracted to/by the Tally-Ho branding. This is a must have for me and I'm pretty excited about it haha.

I agree it would be nice to see a new Tally-Ho in regular production. Tally-Ho circle backs are easily my top choice of regular production decks, nothing else comes close.

If the timing in the month makes any difference to a person, that person is already spending far too much money on playing cards.

I came very close to not backing when I saw that price tag. In the end, I chose two Limiteds and two Displays. $20 a pack for the limited is HIGH. Yes, he's only making 700 of those, but in all variations, there will probably be about 2,000 decks made and every single box contains the exact same cards.

Here's a couple more ways to look at these decks. First, somehow Jackson got USPCC to make gild a fairly small number of decks, and is probably paying a lot for those, and reselling them for a reasonable amount. At least compared to Uusi's gilded decks.

Second, the limited deck is $20 because of the tuck, not the cards. Honestly, the Scarlett has the most gorgeous tuck I've seen, and I'm sure it cost a bunch.

Third, backing for either the gilded or limited decks is the ticket that lets you buy a lot of display decks at $7 a pop, or $70 for a brick, which is very, very reasonable.

I think this is a great formula for both collectors and folks who actually want to play with the decks, and I hope there's more Tally Ho campaigns coming sometime down the road.

Making the display decks unlimited in the pledge is a great idea...I think it would be better if they were just called standard.

It's like calling it a display deck lessens the perceptive value of it, but if you call it standard, it may lessen the perceptive value of the LE.

Anyways, I went straight for the 2x gild tier and was one of the 20 lucky enough to get it.

As of now there's only about 60 LE decks left, btw

I think JR had changed the tuck for the display deck. I checked the display deck tuck and couldn't see any printing of "Display Deck"

Now that's a good thing.. I think

Oh do you think there gonna be another Tally Ho from JR?

And if any body is thinking of cancelling their pledge for the legacy deck please tell me !!

Thank you

The price tag certainly is higher on these, but with the low print-run, all those different metallic inks (three I think?), special numbered seals, gilding and so on, he's paying through the nose himself.

I'm in for a few just as with the Scarletts. And I tend to stick to my "no deck for more than $10" rule pretty strictly. That's how much I enjoy these decks.

The big change on the Emerald display tuck from the Scarlett is that the Emerald has Tally-Ho branding where the previous deck said Scarlett.
