The homepage is a bit off indeed, but I use the desktop site on my mobile, so it's ok.

You mean for more sold out items... :D

That Back designlooks awesome, btw. Depending on the price, definetly in for one ... or two.

Ye, the squares are to small for the text, otherwise it's looking like web and good to navigate.

Badpete has been my nickname for the past 30 years plus with my friends. Plus Pete is just Pierre in english

Anyway there is a long story of me being number 1 pledger on so many KS projects which all started with Dale Mathis first KS project. For $1 I ended up getting about $1200 of stuff...

OK back to the mad Greek Fable.... Are we ready to go snatch one of those 111 test decks?

Brad here. Bradius was a gaming name from Caesar III days. I am Brad on Kickstarter, but there are two Brad’s in Kickstarter that are big card collectors. On eBay we have even different user names (at this point I get confused myself). Mine uses googol, but is a much larger expression number than googol. I think it actually is the largest number with a name. I had that name before there was a Google, which drives me crazy because it is Googol, not Google.

Yes, Pierre is legendary as the fastest pledger. You get a gold star if you can beat him to something he wants.

Yes, I am ready to try to get one of those 111 decks. I hope.

I'm working nights for the next 3. This pair of decks - should I be able to snag one - will be nice compensation for the 35 degree nights and rain. I just gotta be quick on the draw.

While we're talking usernames: I'm portcullis pretty much everywhere, but it's certainly true for here and Kickstarter.

Further to my last - Lotrek - if you were to set you release time somewhere between 8am-11am Eastern Daylight, I'm pretty sure I could stay awake long enough.

So as I understand it right, there are more "original" decks, but just 111 "test" decks? Or will there be 111 sets in Total? (Ofc 111 sets anyway but more "non test" decks?)
Thank you for letting us now! :ucstar:

There will be more “regular” decks (450 based on Lotrek’s post above). You may even be able to buy them during this sale. Luckily I still have my gold fillings as a ready source of cash. So I’m good.

What would you guys speculate for the pricing? Are we thinking Sanctus pricing at $80 for an official deck, or will this clear $100?

Amen to that. It is very nice to know exactly when. Super excited to see what all the fuss is about :ugdance:

I am thinking $20 for the pair including shipping, but then maybe that is the magic mushrooms talking. :lol:

Last time I was off on the estimate, so I will keep my fingers quiet this time. Fillings ready to come out if needed. Dentist is on standby.

This one interests me. Definitely filling removal level, but not quite at the kidney extraction point. Sorry Lotrek.

I was close in my mind. I was thinking $120 including shipping for the pair and $80 for the final edition. Yep, that is a Lotrek deck. So, Lotrek pack up my usual brick with custom brick case. :lol: (my kidney says "Nope") [MURRAY] [MURRAY]

Nah, I am in for a test/final set and another final edition hopefully. $210 - ouch. Best go to the dentist. My tooth hurts.

Black decks were all the rage for a while, and then they faded in popularity, primarily due to the black ink chipping and wearing out along the corners and edges. Obviously a black stock cures this problem, but as wondered about a few times already on this thread, is there any type of finish on this deck? I know, I know, most people who buy this deck are NEVER going to actually play with them, but for those who actually use cards for their intended purposes, I'd like to know if they handle well or not. I already don't have any expectations for handling on par for what's required of cardistry, or even magic, but can these be at least be easy to shuffle and deal so that they're pleasant enough to use for several rounds of poker? The close ups of the cards seem to indicate they have a smooth finish with no calendaring whatsoever, which would equate to a clumpy mess within a few hands. Hopefully we can get an answer before the cards become available.
