Jetsetter Playing Cards: Premier Edition (Live on KS)

[Paul Ruccio]

Wheels up! I launched the Premier Edition of Jetsetter Playing Cards earlier today on Kickstarter. As of right now, the project is 54% funded with 103 backers. If you have any questions, I'd be glad answer any that you may have.

Love the new treatment on the Jetsetter brand, already backed and can't wait to watch the project... soar? eh..? Ehhh....?

Any chance we can add on orig Jetsetters?

I believe that Paul sold out of the original Jetsetter deck last month, so unfortunately, you will probably have to get it from a reseller

Happy to oblige http://jpplayingcards.co.uk/jetsetter-playing-cards

I gotta say, the Jetsetter brand is probably one of my favorite working decks on the market right now. The homage to airline decks really appeals to me, and makes them immediately familiar, even feel vintage without feeling overdone. There are too many T11esque, overly-ornate, busy/filigreed designs that are beautiful as collection pieces but not great for practical users like cardists or magicians in my opinion

Unfortunately, the first addition sold out in December. But...

JP Playing Cards is an "approved" and recommended reseller.

Thank you, Justin. Looking forward to these decks landing in your hands!

With the popularity of your design, consider a second edition of the original design as a stretch goal, or the new design in the old color.  I get the impression that your deck will be more popular this time around!

I love the idea of a second color edition of the original deck as a stretch goal. I'm a big fan of Tiffany's Blue for the record... hint hint

Well, that's not exactly what I said, but if that's what you want...

I suggested a stretch goal of either:
* second printing of original design/green color, or
* second color of new design, using the original deck's green color

You suggested:
* original design in the new blue color.

It would be a little less popular, printing two very similar deck designs in the same color for a KS project, I'd think.

[Paul Ruccio]

I would absolutely love to add a second color to the mix. If this color does well, I do have a second one planned that could be added but it would probably end up being more of a limited version. But most importantly, I want to focus on this deck then assess adding a second. The project is doing well though so we'll see!

In case you are interested, I increased the availability of the brick tier that includes the brick-sized display case. It's one of the FIRST CLASS tiers. Feel free to take a gander here: http://kck.st/1RHzXVB

Hey everyone,

The Premier Edition in Altitude Blue is doing superb. The project has reached goal and currently climbing steadily towards $10k. I appreciate the support thus far. Many of you have played a part in the development of the Premier Edition and I appreciate it. If you haven’t visited the project page recently, here’s some brief reads from the instrument panel:

- $9,194 – 115% funded
- 214 backers
- 11 days left

If you’re a magician, I’ll be (hopefully) releasing a small tier in the coming days for those magicians looking to come aboard. So, be on the look out.

Again, thanks for the continued support. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Check out the project here: http://kck.st/1RHzXVB

Cant wait to see what you have in store

Just added custom classic wedge stripper decks to the campaign. Personally cut by Steph Lac of Slim Card | Gaffs & Magic. Pretty excited about these.

[Paul Ruccio]

Here's your final boarding call... about five hours left to back the Premier Edition in Altitude Blue on Kickstarter. I must say, nothing is worse than running to the gate only to see the airplane pushing back from the jetway. So, please prepare to board and proceed to Kickstarter immediately, or click here: http://kck.st/1RHzXVB

Hey all,

I wanted to take a moment to swing by and provide a couple updates.

First, I'd like to thank everyone for their amazing support during my campaign. It doesn't go unnoticed.

Next, the process is moving along. Just completed the digital proofing phase. So, if you missed out on the campaign, the decks will be hitting production in no time and they'll be available to the general public... hopefully before schedule.

Also, I have released the next Jetsetter Playing Cards tee shirt. In fact, there's been enough pre-orders for it to get printed. If you're interested in adding a new tee shirt to your summer rotation, feel free to check them out here: https://cottonbureau.com/products/jetsetter-playing-cards

The shirts are available in four colors and in men's and women's sizes.

Again, thank you for all the support and help to get another deck funded.

If you're not a backer of the Premier Edition in Altitude Blue, here's some photos of the physical proofs from the Expert Playing Card Company. Let me know what you think!

[Paul Ruccio]

In addition to the photos posted above, here's four more photos of the physical proofs. And... let me know what you think!

[Don Boyer]

Let me know when they're on BackerKit - I missed out on the KS.

Unfortunately, I'm not using BackerKit... but I'll message you once production is en route.

[Paul Ruccio]

Wanted to pass along a brief update. Production has been completed. I received a couple sample decks that were pulled from the production run. I'm really impressed. These actually exceeded my own expectations. See attached for a few photos.

[Jason Haynes]

I really like the concept. Sorry I missed the project, but congrats on the successful campaign.

Thank you! I appreciate that. No worries on missing the project. If you still wanted to pickup a couple decks, they'll be available end of August or early September. I'll shoot you a message with options if you're interested.

[Paul Ruccio]

Brief update. Production has reached Chicago and will be en route to the fulfillment center in a few days. Once everything reaches the fulfillment center, some decks need to be repositioned to Jetsetter Playing Cards headquarters to fulfill the First Class rewards then official fulfillment will commence one week after those depart.

Stay tuned for more details!

[Paul Ruccio]

Hey everyone! So far, all First Class and Standard rewards have been shipped for this project. I'm just waiting on the completion of a few custom rewards so I may close the door on fulfillment process. Custom rewards include the skateboard wall displays, "Anything Is Possible" bottles, and gaffed decks.

I have a batch of decks available before I receive the balance from the fulfillment center.

Additionally, I had a deck display stand produced for my office but since I loved it so much, I decided to release them to the public. The deck display stand is created using 100% genuine aircraft parts - very fitting for the deck.
