This is what I like to see more of with LE decks. That effort and care has been invested to make it stand out as a truly unique and prized possession. Lotrek is doing a fantastic job with the signature series and it's just to die for.

Nice work JR.

JacksonRobinson wrote:The tuck case you see featured with the Limited Edition is my own tuck case. I designed the die for it and developed its construction. The card stock of the tuck case is also custom in the fact that it has visible fibers made into the paper much like currency, something I wish I would have had for the Fed series. You will only see this tuck case used by Kings Wild Project.

Special Note: The Edition numbers of the Limited Edition decks will be printed uniquely on every tuck case.

CURRENT PLEDGE LEVEL LAST UPDATED: 42 MINUTES AGO
$51,859 86% OF GOAL
TRENDING* TOWARD $2,126,219 - 3543% OF GOAL

* TRENDS ARE NOT PROJECTIONS.

Disclaimer or not have you EVER seen a card release with a 'trending toward north of 2M well before it's FIRST day ending?!?!

That's a good point.

I'm glad (on Jackson's behalf, and for the sake of this deck) that this is receiving a positive reaction. It mirrors my own, and I was worried people would riot against it. I'm sure some will though, eventually. But like we've learned before; you can't please everybody.

Yashi wrote:That was brutal. I haven't pledged because of I missed on the one and two of everything. I thought there would be more pledge levels to go around. Oh well. All is fair in love and war. Hopefully I'll be able to snag a SL22 tier down the road.
