I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the way Alex approached this in the sense that lots of creators do limited drops. Same thing happens with most collectibles. It's just disheartening as a collector to have to compete against bots and those whose only appreciation lies in how much ...

It'll be nice to see these showing up on eBay any moment now at 5x the price.

Well under a minute. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to bail from this hobby. I don't have the time to compete against bots.

Did you ever receive these? I've seen similar things in the comments about "upgrading" shipping but I'm curious if it's worth it. If they're expecting shipping prices to go down, it's going to be a long wait...

I think his work is predominantly airbrush. This is an ancient/potato quality video but gives you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF24H0Am7uo

Just to follow up on this with a happy ending, I reached out to Lorenzo, and he was able to find a replacement to send out. I am really surprised, and that is incredible customer service.

Yeah I don't hold out much hope, but I'll reach out to Lorenzo just in case. I guess I wasn't alone on this: http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php ... 65#p206119

Looks like a really similar issue.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I finally opened up my Keymaster Ultimate this evening, and I noticed that the gilding has a couple of issues. The first is at the bottom of 3-4 cards, the gilding seems to have chipped/flaked away leaving a bare spot. The other, much more minor issue, is where ...

I've really enjoyed this set of decks, and I was looking forward to seeing the gilded versions, but I may have to pass given the cost. I could almost justify the $50/deck if the tucks were a bit nicer, and I do realize there's a custom case and all, but as it is, seems like a bit too much of a markup.

I'm kinda hoping this isn't a trend that takes off: doing multiple limited-run gilded variants per deck. I just dropped all of them from my pledge when I saw the second round come out. Nope. Interesting tuck, so maybe I'll just pick up a standard to check it out.

If anyone is looking for gilded decks for this one, I just cancelled my pledge. While I like the decks/colors, there's too many variants and I kinda stopped caring. I also don't have time to chase multiple limited drops on KS campaigns, and Riffle Shuffle seems to be making this the norm. Can't wait...

I got excited about this and opened the one I got from the Summer Mystery decks. No gilding for me.

There was a 'super limited' (2500) release yesterday of a Limited Black Edition Collectors Deck that was supposed to go live on KS at noon EST but the platform broke so people couldn't add it. At some point hours later in the afternoon, the problem was fixed, but it seems like only those who were de...

These look truly amazing, Alex, and I'm always impressed with the level of innovation and creativity you bring to your work. I especially like that dark blue one - beautiful. Now I guess I'll have to see if I'm fast enough to actually get one...

I managed to get one of each this time around, but I really dislike having to do this. I made a reference in another thread commenting on how I used to think people waiting in line outside for a new sneaker drop or whatever were idiots, yet here I am twitchily hitting refresh hoping to be able to ge...

Nice catch. I collect mostly gilded decks, so just picked these up to supplement my KS pledge. I'm a bit surprised they weren't part of the KS campaign itself though. These campaigns where I either have to keep changing pledges as levels change, sit and wait for X time for something that will fill/s...

These look beautiful as always, Montenzi. Backed a set, and thank you for keeping the campaign simple.

This is great @PipChick - thanks so much for putting it all together!

One addition that I ran into is Trip On Magic is having a pretty big BF sale as well: https://www.triponmagic.com/product-tag/on-sale/

What, nothing from Seasons this year to destroy my wallet like last year?

I think you may be thinking too small with the card cellar. Go for a Card Tower, complete with Card Angel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laSHHjxrSLk

@shermjack - If you figure something out, I'll be the first in line

While most of my decks live in the darkness of boxes, I do have some that live on shelves, mostly in carat cases. The shelves don't get a lot of direct sun, but there's a bit in the mornings, and I'm starting to think about UV damage over time. Has anyone done anything to protect their displayed dec...

I see the resale/flip market is alive and well. Current bid at $305: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303749536482

Missed being able to grab one due to the Shopify issues, but looks like I won't be getting one if this is what they're going for...

BTW, what's up with the 52+ Joker website? I just tried accessing it and it instantly threw me to some BS website that my Anti-Virus judged as highly risky to open. I couldn't access it with mobile either, same thing. Did they got hacked or what's going on here? I sent over an email to them when I ...

I don't believe the gilded purple ones are shipping yet, just the regular purple ones. People are asking obscene prices for the pink gilded ones, not sure if the purple will follow suit.

I liked the Watcher (Owl) and Fox decks, and would have considered picking this one up except for the text. Why did they feel the need to plaster SHARK on it? I know what it is. The others didn't say OWL or COKED-UP LOW-POLY FOX and I could figure it out. I agree that Riffle Shuffle designs are supe...

Just received mine, and I have to admit I was surprised at the micro attack helicopters that flew out of the packaging to harass me. I managed to disarm the deck within a few minutes (please, no PMs for the code) but now that I've broken the seal, apparently some sort of curse has been placed upon m...

Funny,. I was about to post that I'm looking for one too, but I have the feeling that l'm going to be out of luck. Damask Red is my current favorite deck (though I've not received Crypt yet) but there's something about the gold and blue combination that speaks to me. Opened is fine with me btw - I'm...

I like the overall aesthetics of the cards and the SCP theme is fun, but I'm a bit concerned about: - First time creator - Insanely low goal ($200?) - No indication of printer/stock I'm guessing these are going to be pretty underwhelming from a quality perspective, but I'm still considering picking ...

I just received some decks that I bought from Dentyne, and I have to say from start to finish he was amazing to work with. Really nice guy, great communication, and a box packed so well that I'm pretty sure he could have thrown it here via catapult (or trebuchet if you prefer) and the decks would ha...

You really need to give that copper deck more attention. My opinion is that deck is nicer than the gold. Really nice. I completely agree. The green patina / copper combination is really attractive, while I'm not nearly as interested in the gold. Now I have to figure out if I want to shell out for t...

These look very nice - I'm also a big fan of Lorenzo's art. I'm just hoping he takes his time on it because my wallet needs a break.
