Looks like these will be funded within just a few more minutes.

The 2x of each edition had only 25 slots available, and they were snapped up within three or so minutes. Yikes!

Looks like Jackson has hit another home run with these.

Very nice cards, especially the platinum variant, but $15 shipping for a single deck is too much for me.

Yeah, I had a hard time getting it to load. It was about 12:03 before I was able to get the campaign to show up and several were already sold out. I got what I wanted though. Still some individual cabinet sets available and full card sets. Still, it was a fast sale as expected.

$60 for the two standards shipped is just too rich for my budget, unfortunately.

Sorry we couldn't make it work this time around.

At first, I thought you meant $60 (for shipping alone) and I started sweating that KS had a bug.

Got there in time and got what I wanted but the top tier sold out in a minute or so. Looks like it is going to be funded imminently. Congrats Jackson - well done, sir.

I recall that USPS have upped their prices from 1 Jan this year. The shipping is indeed becoming more and more expensive.

Ya! It's like an ANTI-Christmas present on January 1st as USPS always ups their rates.

I'm wondering, Jackson, if you were to take some of your "1 of everything" and convert those to half as many "2 of anything" tiers if that wouldn't get some very quick traction.

Just a thought.

I'm not sure I'm clear. At this point, all of the limited tiers are gone except the one Collector's set.

I was slow to post my message, and by the time I did, the "1 of each" must have sold out. When I started putting the post together, there were still fifty or so left of those.

D'oh!

It's not that I type slowly. It's that I'm so easily distracted. Hold on... my kids are heading back out to sled some more....

Yeah, you sneeze and his stuff is sold out. Congrats on fast funding of a hefty $35k funding goal. Not many card designers can sell that quickly. My bank account is going to take a hit.

For international backers, you are probably going to have to look into freight forwarding to consoldate your card orders and make one shipment from the US to you to save some shipping costs. That is getting insane. I want to say I shipped a brick for like $32 a few months ago to Europe.

I am not sure the record, but this one had a fairly high $35k goal. Alex Chen had a very fast sale on his Elixer sets. I guess we could go back to that discussion to see how it did. I think House of the Rising Spades also had a fast start, but it kept going as time went on.

Not sure what the all time record is but the later decks in the Planets series were fully funded in about 3 or 4 minutes.

This is a month long campaign? It is going to get slow really fast with only a few Legacy sets left and the standard decks. I wonder if Jackson has any other additions to the campaign. Otherwise, there is just the month long wait for the financial hit.

Jackson, hope you don't mind me reposting and spreading the word. Let me know if you want to keep the marketing to your page

I'll probably offer older deck during backerkit. Offering older decks during a Kickstarter is against Kickstarter's guidelines. I'd also rather not pay the 10% fee.

Jackson: Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as complaining about your rates specifically. I really appreciate your transparency on everything and I don't think you're overcharging in any department. I simply wanted to state that I (sadly) won't be backing because I simply can't justify $60 for two decks in my current financial situation. If I had the funds, I'd not only be in but also a KW shorts subscriber. Maybe, hopefully, in the not-so-distant future though...

I loaded in at 1158 on my phone. By the time I scrolled down selected tier and checked out, I think I was around number 30 or 40. Can't find my backer number on mobile.

I went for a single gilded copper deck. I love copper.
