Re: New Sherlock Holmes Deck by Jackson Robinson

2 examples: - The 10% over or under. On Necronomicon I ordered 1,500 Limited Foil decks, they sent 1,000 so I lost 500. Definitely not a 10% under. - Printing Plates. On The Grid we had contracted them to release the printing plates they use for production runs and USPCC decided to change the rule ...

Re: New Sherlock Holmes Deck by Jackson Robinson

just FYI, USPC is ALWAYS changing the rules and such only go by what current policies are from them not what the threads say i've noticed more times than not that info that is being reported is inaccurate. 100% true.

Re: Bicycle 'Federal 52' - Shipping!

I was expecting 25 bucks from him but 50 dollars geez. They are cheaper on ebay. They were cheaper. Jackson putting out this price caused the eBay sellers to raise theirs. I don't think that's necessarily true. From what I have seen, the decks were on ebay at least a month ago and the kings wild si...

Re: The problem with Kickstarter

I guess people don't have thousands saved up or laying around. If someone did have full funding, I can understand not investing all your money. If a deck takes $12,000-$15,000 to make, I can see putting in half and then backers can make the rest. A $8,000 fund goal for cards isn't nothing. So when ...

Kickstarter doesn't allow projects to promise that the proceeds will go to charitable foundations. And they have a raffle. thought you could not do that.

From their "Divine" project comments...
