$29 is still a lot for international folks, since we don't have USD.

I'm just shocked that there are still decks available. I thought they'd be gone in less than an hour.

Maybe because they are $29 per deck?

That's why I didnt want one.

There were also six hundred and six available with a six deck limit. The cool thing is that there will be decks for everyone who wants to have one. They're certainly worth while in my opinion, if for nothing else than to check out Black Stock. When mine arrive I'll be slinging them around on the table with my pals, really looking forward to that. Black Mass have me very curious and more than a little excited. :D

Just so I'll understand, the numbers and courts will be shiny/metallic more than usual? I'm also more curious than anything too.

I never expected them to go in a couple of hours. Actually I'm shocked that half of the decks disappeared in a few hours while I thought it would take 1-2 days.

As always, I'm preparing something very cool regarding the Black mass. Stay tuned. ;-) The metallic inks I'm using are very shiny but there is always more you can do for the people who support you, right?

If the project hits the $29K mark, a "small" change will happen: The "BLACK MASS" edition will be divided and will be printed in two versions: GOLD and SILVER. Gold edition will have Gold and red metallic inks, while silver edition will have silver and red metallic inks. The total of the decks produced will still be 606 and each backer will be able to determine what combination s/he wants. You can have all gold, all silver or mixed. You will be asked in the survey about that. The tucks will both have black foil on black stock but there will also be a silver or gold metallic ink indication (maybe on the lid? - work in progress) to tell whether it's a silver or gold deck inside. With 8 days to go and the counter already @$28K, I think we can take it for granted... This way, at no extra cost, you my awesome old and new backers will be possessing something twice as rare.
Now the people that only got 1 deck will need to get another. Glad I got 2 to start with. :ugdance:

Lotrek - Carful your Club and Spade pip look to similar. If you made the badge under the suit look like a club too. Right now it looks like a spade. It might help when peeking in the hole. You have to know what your hole cards are in an instant.

@ Sprouts (Pip Police):

You have a point there. I'll try to make them stand out more although the idea is the pips to be based on the same general scheme.
Thanks!

Since BM will be in two different colors, will they all still be numbered together up to 606 or each color will be numbered up to 303? Numbers never mattered to me.
