I ask this question in the most sincere way possible but why does most everyone here seem to hate white borders? I've seen threads here where people really loath them. And believe me- I'm the king of letting insignificant things bother me but seriously- why white borders?MagikFingerz wrote:I like it too, but what I DON'T LIKE is how nice the back design looks on the box and then seeing it on the cards with big fat white borders.

I am a flourisher as well as magician and any trick I can possibly think of which requires an inverted card would be better with a normal/ thick bordered deck. I suppose the argument for fanning could be made but that's about all I can think of. I mostly collect cards now for overall design too... I was just curious.badpete69 wrote:Vasta I am no expert but for card handlers and magicians it is preferred to have very thin borders...Personally I only collect the deck for its art/box and overall look so I do not really mind but we have plenty of cardists on these forums
That's correct!MJF wrote:Yeah, it's not white borders that people hate, from what I've read, it's THICK white borders. They prefer the borders as thin as possible...
In most cases, this is accurate. But actually, I don't really care much for them being white either when the back doesn't fit having white borders, which this one doesn't. In my own opinion, of course.MJF wrote:Yeah, it's not white borders that people hate, from what I've read, it's THICK white borders. They prefer the borders as thin as possible...
I see what you mean, but as a cardist I would rather every deck had thin borders than thick borders given the choice.vasta41 wrote:I guess the way I look at it is if every deck had thin borders, my collection would be boring. Variety is the spice of life! MagikFingerz- I agree with you when you say the white border on this deck looks out of place. And there are some decks in my collection that I wish were a little different in subtle ways. But over all, I'm happy with the way all my different cards look on display. And if I need a deck with thin borders for fanning or thick for tricks, luckily I have 400+ decks to choose from!

Wow, that was diplomatic of us! If this discussion were on the discourse, I feel like one of us would be banned by now. I was going to say something, though I'd better not. But if you're bored, PM me for something fun to dovasta41 wrote: Hey- to each his own
I kid, I kid
Same here. Those do look a bit thick. When I was doing my work with Bicycle they pushed back our art maybe 9-10 times due to our borders being thin. It took us forever to get to some kind of agreement. Though I am surprised to find out that many KS's haven't even talked to Bicycle when they start, maybe these guys ran into the same thing. The rep we talked to seemed to have their foot in the sand when it came to borders.MagikFingerz wrote:I like it too, but what I DON'T LIKE is how nice the back design looks on the box and then seeing it on the cards with big fat white borders.

Might get one on from Mike or someone else who brings them in, and it wouldn't surprise me if they're cheaper then.
If he gave you similar prices to what we're getting, I understand completelyBMPokerworld wrote:MagikFingerz wrote:Yeah, I like the deck but there is no way I will support prices like these. Not to mention the shipping.

We probably won't be able to work anything out with Erik on this deck. I tried working things out with his first deck and I could not, so i don't see it happening this time.
Thanks!
Add in that Grid 2.0 has the kickass UV ink, and you can clearly see who is ripping people off.cosmicsecret wrote:Just for the record :

My thoughts exactly. Well said.alric wrote:This pricing is so off, its a big PASS for me. The deck ain't that good! I hope it doesn't get funded so these people realize what the real market value for playing cards, even excellent ones, truely is. Every time a project like this gets funded, it just enables others to jack up prices.
With a goal of only $5,000... they can't help but get funded.alric wrote:This pricing is so off, its a big PASS for me. The deck ain't that good!
