Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell

All this teasing! :drool: I wonder what the rationale was behind having the Ls in "WILL not be confined" to look like that. I wasn't sure if it was an error on the tuck but I noticed it was on the photos of the campaign too. I would guess it was one to preserve graphical symmetry. There a...

Re: P52 Deck of the Year awards

OK, I’ll ask the obvious question; were votes limited to 1 cast per category per P52 member? Several of the results are now suspiciously indicative of ballot stuffing.

Re: Kickstarter: Cotta's Almanac Transformation Playing Cards (1811) - Reproduction Deck #6

I prefer the visibility of the darker text on the standard tuckboxes, so no way would I pay $300 for that gilded set just to get it in the custom Carat Case. I backed the campaign all along for both tiers and scored the Early Bird special with 2 standard and one gilded deck ($27 shipped)—so I’ll hav...

Re: Dominion by Jody Eklund (aka blackinkbranded)

Regarding stickers and sticker residue, the best and safest thing to use is a product called Un-Du, available on Amazon and Walmart, among others. It works wonders and doesn’t leave an odor behind like Goo Gone does. I strongly recommend just getting the big 32 oz bottle (about $30) since the dinky ...

Re: Early 20th Century Cyclists-Bicycle Posters - KS

PLEASE change the name. “Skills of Bike” is terrible. Just terrible. I believe you already know the tuck box is uninspired and mismatched with the style and artwork of the cards, and you appear to be fine with that, but the name you chose is pure nonsense.

Re: Double Eagle by Kingswildproject

It’s important to note that we still have no idea how many of these decks were produced; 1000?, 2000?, 5000?
So these may show up in abundance later, or this may have been the one and only public release we’re ever going to see.
It would be nice to know.
