The holo in the deluxe decks seems unnecessary, and not how the individual cards were designed You echo my thoughts exactly. Same. I’m definitely backing the deck one way or another but curious to know how the holo versions are being done. If the designers were involved in constructing the foil lay...

I know this didn't get a lot of traction but I will have the extras available on my website tomorrow for pre-order with shipping in mid- to late-July. I have included a few images of the final gilded decks as I only had prototypes for the campaign. www.curioplayingcards.com Your minis are always am...

and 6 months later here we are. Glad I ultimately didn't spring for more than one deck Thanks for posting these. I didn’t end up backing but, as a fan of Bivas and Ritu, I was torn and hence curious to know how they turned out. I don’t have a particular problem with people using renders instead of ...

I have to buy 4 decks to get the standard lunch box and 8 decks to get the limited edition lunch box (& gilded deck). I wish they sold them in the same set as the kickstarter... Same. I love the lunchbox and would have gladly gone for the KS standard set plus box if it was an option. But having...

I am pretty certain that Jonathon is one of the good guys BUT his whole idea of leaving Internationals out of the KS campaign and choosing Legends is doing him AND US no favours :evil: When you look at how out of date Legends website is, you have to wonder how anybody would choose them to partner u...

Mine arrived today in Oz. I got one of the Luxury Edition. Still forming a view of the cards themselves (giving it a couple of days) but gotta say, the Studio Pression tuckbox and sleeve are superb. So much fine print detail and intricate foil inside and out. Plus it just feels really solid. Not sur...

It is the end of next week here and still nothing on Legends Their homepage is not inspiring as the top rotating banner features Very Peri - The 2022 Color of the Year It would be good to get a revised date - especially if it’s gonna be a while. Dont want to miss out but don’t want to have to keep ...

At this point, its just a matter of trust I suppose. The evidence presented by that Reddit post is compelling (especially the part where the campaign description was changed). But I don't think there's a way of conclusively proving anything one way or another. It's on Reddit after all, posted by so...

That’s great news. I was another person who held off on the other versions, anticipating this one. The illustrations we saw were amazing.

Agree with most of the feedback already provided. Especially the suggestion to reduce the funding goal by sticking with the colour deck (it looks like that was the one folks were mainly getting) and potentially consider a cheaper printer. I love Macbeth and have several Shakespeare-themed decks but ...

You can shop their partners, yahoo and mercari etc - or enter the url of anything for sale in japan and they buy it for you and then store everything in a warehouse where you let shipments build up so you can combine the shipping from there. Thanks so much for posting this. Really helpful. Junaida’...

I was super excited for this deck since receiving the teaser postcard in RX Almanac. I adore the theme and the artwork. Not being in the US, I was disappointed to see the Kickstarter is US/Canada only - but then relieved to see it see it will be available internationally through Legends. Curious why...

For me, Herman is the model of a good creator. Innovative elements, interesting themes, well-executed with great attention to detail. An artstyle that is distinct but doesn’t feel samey from deck to deck. And, best of all, well-constructed campaigns that run smoothly and aren’t over-hyped or overloa...

Never heard that pseudonym! Adam Moore's personal site lists theory11's Ellen and National decks as his work, as well as lots of packaging for magic tricks. I'd be very very surprised if this is somehow a different Adam Moore :lol: Thanks. Didnt know he did Ellen (and Magic packaging too). Must be ...

I wonder if this is the same Adam Moore who illustrated the National deck for Theory 11 some years back (under the pseudonym Harold Apples). The style isn’t very similar but T11 do seem to like to go back to proven designers.

Thank you for your mini-review! One small correction - this deck is not a limited edition, but the number of decks we offered this time was limited due to possible customs issues, shipping costs, etc. As I mentioned before, it was not about making money but about making them available for collector...

Received my Treasury deck yesterday.

I love it. Those aces especially. Also pleased at how well they handled - a bonus considering it was a mystery printer.

Posted a couple of pics / comments on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/playingcards/s/cxkAlKy3Ad

I also don’t understand what’s not to like. At minimum it will be fascinating to see what they come up with. Lorenzo is amazing and has a distinctive world-building style but perhaps folks need to refresh their memories on Jackson’s incredible body of work including some stunning decks. https://docs...

Wow. This looks amazing.

If you still need beta testers, count me in.

THANK YOU, this is the best news in this thread :ugthink: That is great news. As you mentioned on that other thread It would be extremely difficult to recapture all that data from scratch. We are living through a new Golden Age of playing card design, production and collecting. The data has archiva...

If there is a demand, I will send you one of mine.

I was quick on the draw for a change and managed to pick up one of the NZ ones from your store. I’m all good. Thanks.

I have 5 unopened decks here and will list 3 of them. If there is a demand, I will send you one of mine. I'll also have one unopened Kin-dza-dza, but it will not be listed. Let me know if you need both. Thanks Very kind, thank you. I’ll shoot for one of the listed ones - but that certainly takes th...

Given the low available quantity, I'm worried I'll be at work and miss these. Is there a way for us here to reserve one copy of each? I'll reserve 3 of each and list 22 Treasury decks and 7 Kin-dza-dza decks. Yes, we only have 10 of Kin-dza-dza in USA. The price is $19.95 and $14.95 + shipping This...

Are there any notable archival collections of modern playing cards? Yale's Cary Collection seems to have mostly (only?) older stuff, and I have no idea what may be in USPCC's supposedly-in-storage collection I’d be curious to know this too. I take comfort that there seems to be a lot of modern coll...

There’s no right or wrong way to collect but I remember a comment someone made once that said (paraphrasing): ‘there’s a pretty decent chance that when you’re dead and gone, your treasured deck collection will be thoughtlessly boxed up and tossed into land fill or the back of a mouldy basement. Life...

Beautiful deck. I like it even more after seeing the whole campaign. The sole splash of colour on the joker is a wonderful touch. Answering my own question from earlier, it looks like the artist is @TwilightDecks. My only peeve is that I would have happily paid a premium for a single gilded deck (or...

Max from Max Playing Cards did an interesting article/interview which provides some info on how the original scam occurred, and how the new deck came to fruition. https://www.maxplayingcards.com/en/2015/05/01/the-dark-side-of-kickstarter-a-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-back-to-asylum-deep-interview...

Based on the pics so far, I really love these.

Lovely understated tuckbox design, cool back which I imagine makes a great fan. I think the court art is sweet (keen to see more of them though) and the floral pips are gorgeous.

Anyone know who the artist is?

These look pretty cool to me. It’s a bit hard to tell from the grid images provided, but definitely keen to see more. The animal headed courts on some of the decks and the classical sculpture bits on others makes me curious about the titles and if there is a connecting theme between them. I don’t ge...

This looks like a really helpful list.

Pretty sure I’ve gone into the Buyers Guide section of the forum hoping to find a list like this before. Might be worth posting it there also.
