Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards KS
OK Let me get this straight.. $100 for a MPC deck holy Kraken Batman. Dylan Prescott? Is he supposed to be world reknown?. Dylan come on down, we would love to have you on. If you pledge for 3, the decks come to $43 a pop by the way
Not even the rare MPC prototypes (limited to 10 decks) from some of our best artists do not even go for that

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Yeah, I am not too interested. However, he already is nearly 2x the goal amount. Good luck to him. I wish he had gone with USPCC and brought the price to a realistic level. Ah well. Small release and exposure it is.

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
2x the goal... Of $500. Thank goodness for KS or this person may NEVER have found a spare $500. I've said it before and I'll say it again- KS should not allow campaigns like this.Bradius wrote:Yeah, I am not too interested. However, he already is nearly 2x the goal amount. Good luck to him.

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
The artwork is good, but they used "cardistry" in their name, so I won't even bother looking over the campaign.

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Hello, I wanted to join in the discussion to answer some questions. The price of the cards can be seen as steep, but they are the 1st edition (signed) and each sale will go towards funding more of my playing card creations. The low funding goal was simply because Kickstarter has not had as many people on it as of late, then I would fund the rest of the expenses with my own funds. As for USPCC, it would be a dream for me to make a set of cards with them, but I do not have the exposure yet to fulfill a minimum 1000 deck print. Thank you all for checking out the deck and good luck collecting!

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
This is funny...nice design thoughI decided to make the goal $500 because there have not been many people on Kickstarter this month, but I still wanted to make these cards a reality. That is why I decided to set the goal low and pay the rest of the expenses with my own funds. Lastly, I would love to join the forum at united cardists and will talk to everyone there soon. Thanks again, Pierre.
Woah the price..:insert drake meme: (i know 100 decks cost alot but its mpc)

Sweet f^&*ing Christ... I decided to take a look after those comments. Who the hell is pledging for these at this price!?

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
KardKraken, thanks for your input/clarification on this campaign. I still think you could fold the 1st Edition as a limited signed prototype tier and part of a larger campaign that would have a more reasonable option and printing through someone like USPCC. This is a good design and deserves to be done as a top notch printer.
That said, I guess the way you are going about it, this will also get you to the same place as it sounds like you will use the profits from this campaign to help fund a regular run through someone like USPCC. As long as you don't add any bells and whistles with your 2nd Edition, you should be able to keep the costs down. You can always add stretch goals that will only be added with more funding.
I am glad it looks like your campaign is doing well, and look forward to your 2nd Edition campaign.

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Cool campaign. Very fresh and colorful. 9 days to go - not so good. With USPCC printing, $5000 goal, and 3 weeks campaign it will be funded for sure. Just IMHO - remove "Cardistry" from the name. The art is good itself. Most "Cardistry" decks are ugly, your deck is very nice. All the best!
Would be cool to see a "tropical water" color on the back for your second edition.

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Maybe I can't do math anymore.
I believe the campaign says that only 100 decks will be printed.
Yet 105 are available as pledges.....
I do like the art, but not the marketing strategy. I think a creator builds to a $100 deck, not swinging for the stars out of the gate.
Anyway, I've spent to much time on this already. Good luck with your campaign

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Got mine yesterday, to be honest , this feels like 5$ deck rather than 50$.
I wouldn't say it's pure garbage, cuz the court is not bad
But 50$? DEFINITELY NOT WORTH OF MY MONEY
And about this tuck box, I feel like I'm being cheated
" We decide to keep one aspect of the cards a surprise for backs. The deck case will be unveiled to the handful of selected people to get these beautiful decks"
So that's the surprise hes giving me, I paid 50 for this deck and cant even get a decent tuck box. Don't mention he didn't even seal the deck.
I won't back any of his project again, and I suggest no one should, most disappointing deck I got so far.
The end

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
I gotta say, that is one fugly-@ss lookin' tuck... I love how he not only needed to include 2 banners to proclaim it as the 1st edition, but also felt compelled to excessively cover the tuck with "1st"s everywhere...
In all seriousness though, I feel for you dude - I think it's fair to say that we've all been disappointed by decks at one point or another and felt the bitter sting of buyers remorse for purchases made, but seeing that deck there really makes me cringe hard - I'm so, so sorry

Re: Art of Cardistry - 1st Edition KardKraken Playing Cards
Not saying I got burned, but I bought one of this guy's early campaigns. 2 decks $20 @ inc shipping to Australia isn't too bad -- for a design I'd say is a little better than this, but campaigns subsequent to the one I backed and their rampant escalation in price for cards I thought were nice but not great convinced me to be wary of any future projects. Feeling vindicated.
