"LESS" by Lotrek

Unread post by Decknowledgy »

From email notification:
Lotrek wrote:In summer 2018 we did a small print run mainly to test the use of UV inks on two-color pearlescent stock.
We also played around with the varnish a bit, experimenting with new materials. These sheets remained in the printer's facility and were forgotten until recently, when we finally decided to cut them. Surprise! The coating that was almost accidentally created has a great slip, far better than any other we've produced so far. It will be the base for all our future coating formulas and a great milestone in the way to the "perfect one".

These decks will go on sale tomorrow
June 4 at 10:00am EDT
http://www.oathplayingcards.com

200 copies, hand numbered.
Maximum 2 decks per person allowed.

Thank you,
Lotrek

I love that it's limited to two per person. Gives folks more of a chance than otherwise, lol.

Yeah, I mean you are buying LESS playing cards. You aren't lying. Your telling the truth, from a certain point of view (here is where you better dodge the frying pan). :lol:

However, Lotrek, it would be nice if you would tell us at least how much we need lined up for tomorrow. You know, so we know how much LESS money we will have.

Yet another punch for my beaten up wallet...

Thank you very much Lotrek.

For $25 this is a no-brainer for me. Just take my money please.

Lotrek is a lot about experimentation in design and materials. As a lot of his decks, this has both. I know you tend to go for the pinnacle of those efforts. You can say some works like Golden Oath are such achievements. But it is also true what he can do now is significantly better than what he did then, and that is a very good thing. I am enjoying the journey. I’m IN!

Down to 77 left in just 5 minutes. Looks like most went in for 2 as this is "less" expensive than Lotrek's regular decks which has "more" frills. :lol:

Edit: 52 left in just 10 minutes. A very big thank you, Lotrek, for setting this at a time which is relatively friendly to most of the world.
