  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Two pieces of advice:

1) Don't sell any deck as "collectible."  Collectors determine a deck's collectibility - when retailers do this, it's seen as a desperate attempt to sell more decks.  "Limited edition" and "rare" are other terms to avoid.  Simply announce how many you plan to make and let the collectors decide how collectible they think it is.

2) I notice you've thanked a lot of card-community boards, sites, etc.  I pointed out some of the design flaws with your deck - some collectors will forgive them, some won't.  The thing of it is, though, that your deck will have broader appeal with the art community, the history community, etc., because they won't see the flaws, and may in fact consider them part of the "strengths" of the design (different community, different standards).  You need to spread your campaign wider.  If you depend only on collectors, you're more likely to struggle to hit your goal and your stretch goals.

Interesting deck, I think I'd like to see some renders or photos of the number cards before I decide to pledge or not on this. These will have to appeal to the collector side of me due to the full bleed courts. I would never use them for anything other than solitaire personally. I don't have a problem with that at the moment, later in the year for some reason I get more nit picky about one way backs and art decks. It's still august though, hahaha.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Did I miss where it says who the printer is?
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

Remember that printer I made a big fuss about, the one with the California mailing address that has its presses located in Kyiv, Ukraine?  That's the one...  It's at the bottom of the page in the "Risks and challenges" section, and not mentioned by name, but how many other playing card printers can there be in Kyiv, really?

Hello!

I'm in negotiations with USPCC, EPCC/LPCC and makeplayingcards.com now. Doing our best to create quality deck, but need some estimations.

Thanks for support!

Sounds like something that should have been done BEFORE you launched...

I might just add that I think the characters here are colorful and fun, dynamic courts. I think the tuck case and back should've been also, colorful. (I'm not a big fan of the style though..)

And, I see these characters are the same as in a card game they had on KS 2 months ago, World of Mythology (funded). Whoever backed that game might also want this deck (now also funded, I see)

At least try to offer something constructive.

NPCC? I don't know that I am familiar, what have they printed?

The only thing that comes to mind right off is that skulls deck on KS last year, Defunctorum.

I've offered an opinion of their website in another topic on their revival of the Asylum deck.  Their plan to make two decks was bizarre beyond belief.  Their website is amateurish and has quoted material stolen and not credited from another web page.  I wouldn't trust these guys with my deck design as far as I could throw a Heidelberg press...

I am not too sure about NPCC.

Back for more

MPC continues to push what they can do. I've enjoyed that about my MPC decks. Sure they're not the same as some of the other manufacturer's but I think they absolutely are coming into their own and offering a quality product. Laser cut edges aren't the best for faro shuffle etc, but they're a nice edge and hold up pretty well to some abuse. I agree MPC is not a bad choice at all.
