Putting on my web developer hat: the best way to migrate a site like this is to get access to all the files & source code -- stuff you can't get by scraping the visible web pages. The biggest value item would be the underlying database/data store information. Unfortunately the hosting service pr...

Hi all, Thanks again to everyone who's supported this project so far. We're funded but still hoping to hit stretch goals to enable tuck box embossing and uncut sheets. If anyone's interested in backing the Eccentrics Playing Cards, now's a good time since there are just 2 days left. Cheers, Rob P.S....

Same. Looking forward to these. The feathered fan looks so good.

I'm pleased to announce that the Eccentrics Playing Cards campaign is now live on Kickstarter. Two decks of fine pop-art playing cards with custom artwork on every card. Every pip is unique! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/radixart/eccentrics-playing-cards https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/radi...

Thanks for the nice feedback so far, everyone. On to the next step...

Sounds great. Best of luck with the campaign!

I'm a big Dave Stevens & Rocketeer fan (collected all the original comics) so I'll definitely pledge something. I agree that the tuck could be a little fancier. But the "Expirimental" typo on the Limited Edition Box makes me hesitate to get that tier. Maybe they'll fix that before prin...

The decks are coming along nicely, thanks! Upon the advice of some other deck designers, I had some prototype decks made with MPC. Definitely worth doing! The first deck (Eccentrics Dark) arrived and looks mostly great, but there are a few tweaks I'll make based on seeing them in person (like fixing...

I really like the clean court designs. Just added my pledge. It's inching closer to being funded!

Looking forward to this as well!

Congrats on a very successful campaign, Gio! Glad I got my order in while there are still some left.

A quick question about the card back: here's an example of the current card back design for one of the decks. https://radixart.io/assets/images/epc/frame_55_sm.jpg I like it but it's a one-way design. Is that a deal-breaker for most collectors? I wonder if I should redesign this to be symmetrical an...

I was just wondering if there were any Kuniyoshi decks out there too. This one looks like it's well done.

Thanks -- fixed it!

Hi shunterino,

Currently the card backs are one-way, but I'm considering redoing them to add some symmetry and make for a better fan. I'll post in the other thread about it.

And yes, Portfolio52 is great! I have most of my collection listed in my profile now. Still a few to add.

I really like this design and the way the various elements break out from the frame. Enjoyed the time-lapse video on Patreon too!

Really liking that purple card back variant! That Ace design is striking too.

Maybe to avoid duplication, all posts about the Eccentrics deck should now be in the drafting board thread :?: https://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?t=23763 Thanks Honeybee. Good idea! Very impressive to have the will power/retraint to only go for 100 decks in 15 years. Looking forward to see mo...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I might try MPC for some prototype decks first and see how those turn out. Then I'm considering a Kickstarter campaign to see if there's enough interest to justify a WJPCC order, since their minimum is 300 and their reputation seems great. By the way, I got a response th...

Thanks! Great info. That fits some of the research I've been doing too. It sounds like I'll want to commit to the printer, stock and finish up front based on an achievable minimum order quantity. I will probably try out MPC for some prototype decks, since they don't have a minimum, and maybe go for ...

Since this is the Custom Decks channel I figure I should post some artwork too! One unique feature of these decks is that every pip is different on every card. I really wanted to make the number cards as interesting as the courts. In addition all the symbols and shapes, even the court characters, ar...

Hi all, I'm an artist and I've been using software code to create artwork for a couple decades now. (This is hand-coded stuff, not AI.) I've released a number of art collections on Art Blocks and other digital art platforms. A couple years ago I designed two decks of cards using these techniques. I'...

This campaign confused me too. The artwork is the same as the Heroes of the Nations project from 2017. The standard decks seem exactly the same as before too, but they've added two "luxury" versions with foiled edges. Even the stretch goals are cut-and-pasted from the old project and refer...

Thanks! When I designed them I wanted to make sure that even the number cards would be unique. In fact every pip on every number card is different, for example: https://radixart.io/assets/images/epc/frame_4_sm.jpg Now the challenge is figuring out the best printer, card stock, finish, and so on to m...

Hi all, I've been collecting playing cards since I first stumbled across the Theory 11 website about 15 years ago. Only about 100 decks so far, but I try to be selective. :) I see that many of you are designers or vendors that I'm familiar with, or fellow collectors, so I feel lucky to have found th...
