Greetings All! Two important things… First we would like to thank all our backers here at UC for helping to make our Leonardo Masterworks Kickstarter a wonderful success. With our Kickstarter campaign, our dealers and distributors, our retail wholesaler, and our aftermarket store all coming onboard,...

We are now entering the last hours of our Leonardo Masterworks Kickstarter campaign and would like to acknowledge our wonderful backers here at UC for their support! Thank you! Also, our Art Playing Cards Annual Sale is still going on at our webshop here. Everything is 25% off until the end of the y...

Willing to make a custom item, that's pretty awesome and good customer service in my book. Yes, basically anything we can do to customise an order we do. A large proportion of our backers come back for our next project, the personal connection means everything to us as creators. Thank you for your ...

I like cards about artists, composers, scientists. Would like to get one of the black pedestal stands. If I buy a rhombus polyhedral can you make a custom one with a space cut out for that and not the coin? thankx. Yes, I could have our woodsmith make that for you, as all the Bog Oak work - the Ped...

Yes, the seal will be the same design, but in silver. The entire Silver stage is mirrored, meaning that the horse will be facing the opposite direction, so the Gold Stage and Silver Stage face each other on our Bog Oak Pedestal.

The best solution to a seal that will not have to be broken to open the deck is to put the seal at the bottom of the deck, like TGW and Stockholm17 did for The Parlour black limited deck. Of course, they still cellophane the outside of the deck and Cartamundi cellophanes the cards inside the tuck b...

Most people here know how I feel about seals. This on ebooks pretty cool and I appreciate the innovation if the 3d embossing. However, isnt the 3d effect going to pretty much be ruined when you bend it over a corner? And I would still hate to have to cut through it just to open the deck. Leonardo’s...

Yes, that could be a cool add-on and/or a special gift for our backers… just the front part of the seal, turned into a square stamp, we could have a sheet of 16 of them, and also put them on our shipping packages. stampIdea-01.jpg stamps2.jpg >>> hey SJ -> I will post a working sketch of the stamp t...

I had an interesting conversation with one of our partners - who is manufacturing our custom stamp seal for Leonardo Masterworks. We were discussing the exact steps needed to begin the production. Embossed-Seal-05.jpg This is the most ambitious stamp we've ever designed. It’s custom perforated. Ink ...

it’s interesting… we often get private messages from past backers on KS thanking us for reaching out to them as they love collecting playing cards but “life” was interfering…. the office… the kids…school… etc… and our email or update caught their attention, and they back our new project. also gmail ...

Promotion is tough - personally I hate advertisements of any sort but I'm content enough to not be too bothered by any card projects that end up in my email or IG, you never know who's seeing it for the first time :uggrin: About half of our backers for a new campaign are previous patrons, and reach...

FOUR updates on a prior KS and three direct emails about your new campaign is real far far too many. You just earned me unsubbing from your mail list and your KS updates. Really need to watch it, you went into spam territory. Thank you for your message. We are sorry to see you go, and apologize for...

oooooh I likes the silver one! thanx, will order one of these vaults and write you. Will the price be the same? Yes, the price for the Bog Oak Vault will be the same with your choice of the gold, silver, or black Battle Horse. I will share a new add-on here later - after we present it on an update ...

Does this come in Silver also? I'm more of a silver person than a gold.. :) If you write me a PM on Kickstarter when you order your Bog Oak Vault, then I will make a note of it. The Battle Horse is 24K gold plated bronzed steel, and is 3D printed. There are two alternative silver finished available...

The Bog Oak Vault is more interesting and a much better value... Part of the high value of our Bog Oak Vault is simply the inherent expense and rarity of the wood itself. Not only is age-certified bog wood difficult to regularly source, it is all very time consuming and expensive to prepare from th...

Bog-Oak-Vault-Inside-02-UC.jpg We have had some backers asking for a view of the inside of our Bog Oak Vault . Our exceedingly rare  Bog Oak Vault  is handmade in Europe. The Leonardo inspired hexagonal case is precision made throughout. A 24K gold plated bronzed steel Battle Horse  is artfully emb...

If I understand this campaign, it not about producing the Leonardo decks (two decks from a previous printing are included though), but is really about producing stands based off of Leonardo's horse design. I like the design and is different than other playing card display pieces I have seen. Given ...

Hello there, Thank you for the kind words and support. I had a question about the metal Stages for Leonardo Masterworks in a PM on Kickstarter, and I thought it will be of interest here on UC. The question is “Why are the metal stage and paper tuck fused together?” The simple answer is that it’s not...

Well, you certainly make some excellent points, which I agree with, but what to do? Backers order Uncut Sheets from us, and USPCC demands a minimum order. But at least from our side, they really are more difficult to handle and ship than cards. But I do wish that they would be less expensive, though...

An interesting discussion about Uncuts, and some very well made points. Please keep in mind that these thoughts below are from a creator’s perspective (just one creator) and are certainly not claiming to be representative. Uncuts are way too expensive! Probably true, but there is a minimum order fro...

We had an interesting message on Kickstarter from a person new to the world of cards about Uncut Sheets that I thought I would share: Question: I have just started collecting playing cards, it’s such a fascinating world! One of the things I was wondering is whether I should collect an uncut sheet wi...

Dear Räpylätassu Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. I am honoured that one of our decks is in your top 150 deck list, as you are a Legendary member here! 1001 Nights is my daughter Soleil's project, and together we are Art Playing Cards. I am so proud of her and her work. We are both very gra...

Hey Everyone who is interested in actual conversation, Thanks to all the new backers who said hello on Kickstarter! Some of you we know very well from our previous Glitch, Leonardo, and 1001 Nights campaigns, and it’s just like seeing an old friend… and so many interesting questions! So this from J....

Hello Friends! We’ve had a lot of interesting questions from UC backers the last days about our project MERLIN • Illuminations, and I have been answering them individually over PM… when one superbacker suggested that these questions and answers would be of interest generally to our forum. So let’s d...

Thank you all for your opinions, they are sincerely appreciated. Anyone who would like to return their Edition Platinum decks, please PM me here on UC and we’ll arrange a full refund. To those of you who are delighted with their Leonardo Playing Cards, thank you so much, I’m pleased that you find be...

Dear ecNate, I’m truly sorry you hated the Leonardo Sunday Times, although from my correspondence I believe you are the only person to do so. So many backers, certainly in the hundreds, have reached out to tell me how much they loved and enjoyed it, and appreciated the way I ran both the campaign an...

Hello Monte Carlo Joe, The final decisions about how to produce all three Editions were made over the course of many long consultations with Lawrence at Legends. We had one goal in mind, to make the finest First Edition Collection we could, with the resources available. Yes, you are correct that eac...

Hello! First of all, thank you badpete69 for all help and support. As you might know, Leonardo was my first (!) playing card project. The Kickstarter campaign was a tremendous success, well beyond everyone’s expectations. And for that I would like to thank all the Leonardo backers here on UC. Editio...

The Leonardo campaign is in it’s very last hours... What an amazing journey! I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank all of you here on UC for your great support, critiques and questions! And to those many UCardists who said hello on KS, a very heartfelt and special thanks to you... some of my...

thank you so very much! Your ideas are truly appreciated. Scribbles were tried and discarded - no pun intended :-) along with many other ideas. The floating suits motif was clearly the best in the end. From the positive comments I’ve received, it’s a winner. Both sides of the deck are rich and compl...
