B.E: Refined Bicycle Playing Cards by USPCC (KS) -Relaunched

[Gareth]

No not vjose. Seriously though, the guy is now posting updates just about the comments regarding this.

Is there any "proof" in the update? (Backers only - Not a backer).

The argument seems to be that is they don't need different plates, they can just re-print the decks using differing colours. However from my understanding - which could be wrong - the black cards are going to be 99*% black printing on a white stock, whereas the white cards will be 1*% black printing on the same white stock... or am I completely incorrect and USPCC prints White ink on black stock for black decks?

If I am right regarding the colours/stock they are at least going to need different plates for the 'K" part of CMYK... which invalidates his proposition.

I know they can print different colours from the same plates - after all we ended up with the purple White Lions a few years ago which was supposedly the decks printed whilst they swapped from red to blue ink (or vice versa) in the middle of the print run.

Your intuition on this was right Victor, this is turning out to be scam. Creator has gone off the grid and seems he has removed his real FB account and added a fake one instead.

Yep, I backed to help this guy out but looks like he's done a runner with my money.

Stayed away from this one easy.....I hope no one gets screwed by this guy but it doesn't look very good. I think for any first project from anyone, we should try and do more research if possible, and help each ther avoid fraudsters. Let's see how this one turns out

I thought I backed this one. I guess I luckily backed out of my pledge.

Well I tried to warn people but few seem to listen, time and time again. I also warned the creator he was wrong about how many he needed to print but he wouldn't listen and apparently never cared. Oh well, glad I got out.

Same here. I remember regretting cancelling because I liked the art but now I am glad I ran short on cash.
