Re: [KS] Bicycle Imperium Playing Cards Deck

When I heard, I was a little bummed about that info -- not sufficiently put out to comment on the KS page, but I was looking forward to seeing the contrast b/w these two printers on a virtually identical set of decks.

Re: Bicycle J Crew Collector Sets

You never know what will be the method of finding something rare that you're after... This one time, I found a limited, sold-out-at-source card accessory (it was a limited edition deck box), mentioned in a YouTube video. Anyhow, I got in touch with the guy who put up the video and asked him about it...

Another vote against 3 here.

In agreement with Tom -- I think -- I prefer no standard pip, or option 2 if you must.

Re: FACTIONS - Fantasy Themed Playing Card Deck

I like your custom pips -- one of the main things is that they be sufficiently distinct from one another and I think you've got that covered pretty well. I think if you are going to go with them, you should have the confidence to put them in the usual index location -- the standards, if they are req...

Re: VISA Deck from House of Playing Cards now live on KS

Some strange value claims in the campaign: The $100 brick tier asserts that it's a "$175 value." It includes 12 of the blue decks, valued elsewhere on the page at $10 each + one of the white decks, which are sold as add-ons for $25. That looks like a $145 "value" if you accept th...

Re: Divine Art Playing Cards Limited Edition -- Live on KS

Some may feel different, but I think if K/S backers have preferential pricing *and* get shipped first, what steps you take selling pre-orders are all up to you!

Re: FACTIONS - Fantasy Themed Playing Card Deck

These look great!! I would be wary, though, of unique elements on the card faces that run all the way to the card edge -- these have a tendency to be visible in the side of the deck, effectively "marking the cards." Some of the faces seem to have unique background elements that might cause...

Re: [SELL] Bicycle B'z 4 colors set / sealed / from Japan

Honestly, it looks like you as much as your "rival eBayer" are trying to bid these up.

One or two prior sales doesn't define a market in these. Also, prices don't always go up.

Re: YOGA playing cards

It definitely looks great as either a full-bleed or super-thin border! One thing I wonder though is whether all the the court figures will be side-facing? Besides breaking up a (potential) visual monotony of exclusively profile views, traditional deck design suggests distinctions between suits and r...

There's a puzzle (or several!) involved with the deck.

Anyone wanting these PM me.
I will buy a brick when/if the count (including me) gets to 8 decks.
I think a single will be $20 with 1st class tracked remailing w/in USA.

I really like these courts and the back is... OK.

At $25 the brick shipping makes a deck price $17 -- not bad. I'd be in for a single -- or willing to be the buyer/distributor if we get a quorum.
