I made my comment about you because I wonder why you would even need to make a such a displeasure comment to Lorenzo, the backers or the followers on UC. You should consider keeping your displeasure to yourself. Did you expect Lorenzo to send the finished decks back or have the ship turn around and fix the issue?
I don't feel like my comment was that out of hand. I didn't accuse him of making a mistake or screwing up, I didn't say anything rude or out of hand. I didn't say it made me like the deck less or ask for a refund. I never said it made the deck less valuable, I didn't even criticize the factory for making a mistake, I just asked if they were going to do anything about it, expressed that productions errors like this are an issue to me, without speaking for anyone but me, and when I did on the forum I even expressed that that group was a minority, and asked if in his experience he had had any luck in removing the second sticker. I feel like my reaction was reasonable.
No one is probably displeased more about the double seals than Lorenzo himself, so I'm sure he's going to understand if there may be some others who are displeased as well. Whether you agree with Justin O or not, he's entitled to his displeasure, and a candid place like UC is a perfectly appropriate place to voice your opinion (as long as its not done offensively, and Justin O clearly wasn't). I'm going to wait and hold judgement on these seals until I get my decks and see them for myself. If the second seal is squarely on top of the first, then I won't have any problems with it. But if the top seal is really offset from the bottom and it's very obvious, then I'll probably be "displeased" myself because this deck is so awesome that I want it to be as perfect as possible.
I'm starting to be pretty concerned about EPCC/LPCC's ability to produce error-free tucks. If a designer uses premium stock and incorporates all the bells and whistles, then the tuck is the single most expensive element in the production of a custom deck of cards. But more and more frequently I'm seeing issues with tucks not sized correctly and being too tight, or tuck flaps that flake and fray, and now incorrectly applied deck seals. And, they don't seem to be too cooperative in fixing the issues, either.
