Re: Encarded's Zenith - Coming April

Just grabbed two, don't see a need for more. Order No. 1170

Paul, as an FYI - I entered my expiration date wrong and it told me I had entered the wrong security code.

Re: Encarded's Zenith - Coming April

I missed it as well, but I appreciate the thought Paul. As far as low no. decks, it is really cool when you get one low numbered, my Deco set is 2/100, I think I have an Aurum that was like 96 or something out of __. So much cooler then the 509 and 514 out of 1000 my reserve note decks. Those were a...

Re: Sherlock Holmes - Moriarty Edition Reprint - Playing Car

I am curious why the full new deck instead of just printing replacements for the misprinted cards? The Altruism Snow Owls had an issue with one of their queens and sent an envelope with a re-printed queen to anyone who purchased the deck. Just an issue of minimum print runs, shipping costs or other ...

Re: The Independence - by Jackson Robinson - KS TODAY!

I know this goes against the flow but I voted for the standard Queen (C). While I love the tall ships I think that's another deck Jackson could unleash his passion on. Trying to shoehorn it into this deck on a court just doesn't make sense to me. An ace- yes- that would work because they are typica...

Re: EMPIRE Playing Cards - Built to Conquer now live on KS

Received mine a few days ago, great looking deck. My only complaint is that the lack of borders on the court indices means the deck is effectively marked which limits use.

Re: Civil Unrest Custom Playing Cards by USPCC now Relaunche

I think it is the center spoke, repeating bomb pattern around the globes, the corners and the placement of the accent swirls (iirc there is a better name for these, it isn't coming to mind) that all evoke T11's Propaganda. I also don't think the grenades are the best corner image. The bomber imagery...

Re: CUSTOM Vs STANDARD

I like custom.

However, I also like decks that are usable, which means color theme and the faces need to be a little closer to the standard courts (for example - Seasons).

Re: Federal 52 Part 2 - A NEW Bicycle Playing Card Deck now

I think it is a bit high at $40, but I like what Jackson has done with the cards as a whole and I am willing to trust that this will be a special deck. White Gold Aurum was $30 and I think worth it at that price point and was and is still a very unique deck. Federal 52 P2 funded with over 1k backers...

Re: Bicycle Deck Of Amazing Adventurers - Kickstarter Comple

I picked up a few of these on Kickstarter. The back design is really not "knock your socks off," the box is just screaming for embelishments (for example some embossing), and the images on the card are a bit on the smaller side. The TMG logo on the back side of the box is a bit gaudy as we...

Re: 'Deco' - from Encarded

I like the fact that Encarded's other decks didn't give in to Bicycle branding. In this case I think it works, and makes the decks more recognizable, especially with the aim of them being usable custom poker decks. You could replace the Bicycle with "ENCARDED" in the DECO font if you want ...

When I read the update this morning I expected there to be some grumbling here. I don't mind the change, I am not particularly in love with the bicycle branding. The new "features," embossing, foil, metallic inks are good enough reason for me to ditch the bicycle premium. Not sure I like t...

Completely agree with most of the sentiments expressed here.
