[Lotrek]

Hey all,

Today 25 October at 5:00pm EDT, during my "Grotesk Macabre KS campaign I'm relaesing  "BLACK MASS": A deck (the first of its kind?) printed with Red and Gold shiny metallic inks on Black stock with air-pocket embossing. Tuck case with black foil on a sturdy black stock.

I grabbed one, just couldn't resist seeing what this first pass at a black stock deck ends up like. They are certainly pricey, so I don't imagine they will be an instantaneous sell out. A year ago we might have seen that happen but lots of collector are more picky these days.

I think the price and limit also has something to do with it. These are expensive decks right out of the gate. I'm very interested in checking out the black stock too. My gut feeling is they should be pretty good, I don't think Lotrek would make an attempt at these without having faith in the stock. Time will tell of course.

I'm guessing today's sales for the Black Mass have been around 265-275ish decks. Not bad at all. Still will be quite a few decks remaining for a while so no one should feel left out and will have a nice opportunity to get in and grab one or two.

Great job Lotrek - these look fantastic!

I would consider the price and limit of this deck comparable to gilded decks. I like gilded decks as much as the next collector but they're getting a bit too standard for me. I liked them b/c they were an added bonus to amazing decks but they've lost their allure with every creator/project doing them. Black stock is different and I would like to see more in the future. I just hope it doesn't become like gilded decks.

It's not simply pickiness - it's that there's so many projects running now.  The variety of available decks is greater, but most people's incomes haven't kept pace!  They do look great, but I'm in agreement that the price will keep them from vanishing too quickly - but as a first-ever black-stock deck, vanish they will.

Don't worry, some of us are thinking of ways to make gilded decks and special editions even more special. Why gild a deck if you are just going to seal it up in a normal box?
