Jackson Robinson seems to be working on a lot of decks lately.

Do you think he has someone or a team working for him as well?

Jackson's been working on "a lot of decks" since he's emerged onto the scene. This is nothing new.

Yes, he (Kings Wild) has produced other artists decks in addition to his own design's. It's not a team in the traditional sense. I don't believe he's employing artists full time. If I remember correctly, he had some administrative and fulfillment (team) help.

Last I heard, he left the fulfillment business and relocated back to Texas. Or at least I think it was Texas - he's moved a lot since Fed52.

For me, the bigger questions are:
1) Is this deck Jackson's or one of his other artists'?
2) Is this deck on commission, similar to the decks he did for USPC, or is it an independent project?

The only deck the decks that have the Kings Wild brand on it that I didn't design myself are the Hives, Brendan Hong is the artist responsible for those. I simply facilitated the production.

The crazy 8s are one of my own designs and are not a commission piece or for USPCC corporate. They are a concept and style I have been throwing around for over a year now, and I'm just shaking the dust off.

Well, hey - the tuck box has us interested! Can you show us more?

After having focused on a few other projects in between, it's high time for the Crazy 8's.

From the Kings Wild Facebook page:
"Crazy 8's Playing cards live on Kickstarter Saturday January 16th at 12:00pm central time."

This looks like it could be a fun little deck!

It's always the way - I wanted two limited edition decks, but no rewards remain for two limited edition decks, despite 156 of them still being available as individual decks... Marcus, any help here?

I have a 2x2 tier but in retrospect am only looking to add one to my collection and won't likely be opening either. If you want to PM me Don we can work out a time I can drop and you can get it?

We'll look over the tiers later today and will most likely be turning some of the 1x tiers into 2x tiers.

Glad you did - I got a pledge in for two and two.

PrincessTrouble · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2016, 10:25:05 AM »

Note that my original post is inaccurate as these are no longer Bicycled branded. Both decks printing with EPCC. Looking forward to it!

Justin O. · Quote from: touya on September 15, 2019, 03:53:04 AM

I rather prefer the original design when it was shown as a Bicycle deck, not the branding mind you, but I like the overall design more. Great deck regardless.

Cardfool · « **Reply #20 on:** January 18, 2016, 04:49:20 PM »

I agree that the Bicycle Branded deck looked nice, but am actually very happy that Jackson decided to switch it up and use EPCC

HankMan · « **Reply #21 on:** January 18, 2016, 06:25:29 PM »

I wonder if there is any specific reason for Jackson to switch from Bicycle brand to EPCC.

He's worked with EPCC before - he did the Liberty deck for Gambler's Warehouse with EPCC as printer. They do good work and are usually more affordable as well as offering lower minimums on print run size. Anything less than 2,500 decks isn't worth doing for USPC, while Expert bottoms out at 1,000.
