If I remember correctly, the Unbranded Black Reserve Note deck was one of the rarer decks in the Fed 52 Kickstarter campaign and commanded exorbitant prices on the aftermarket. You might easily dismiss it as a color swap reprint, but it's not likely an easy pass for many of us.Decknowledgy wrote: Personally, easy pass for me for color swap reprint and steep price jump for gilding + LIMITED quantity per time slot factor.
Just not long ago, the Red edition Black Reserve Note was released, IG then was saturated with reseller posts, and now there's still some with ridiculous prices listed on eBay. And still, international subscribers are not welcomed to the party as the delayed shipping program is not eligible for decks other than the monthly subscriptions. Plus, the expected high custom charges as usual when physical prices this steep is tacked onto the parcel to avoid commiting US federal offense for KW. So yeah, no thanks for my overseas status.PrincessTrouble wrote:If I remember correctly, the Unbranded Black Reserve Note deck was one of the rarer decks in the Fed 52 Kickstarter campaign and commanded exorbitant prices on the aftermarket.

I've checked with Nick before, and I'm using the program now, but he told me that the program is only for subscription decks. So these individual releases don't count and will be sent right after purchase, unless the policy changed again.Strag wrote:Delayed shipping is and has been available for all international shipments for a couple months now.
Just use code delayed-shipping when checking out.

I've been using it for 2 months now and used it on my order from earlier this morning.

No, the card as just as you saw, just cards, red tone swapped with green. Only the tuck box is different from the original white, but still a color swap from the red edition. The involvement of foil only happened on the tuck box. The difference between the STD and the GILDED cards, of course, is only the gilding, with a $20 jump. The $20 price difference between the GREEN gilding and the BLACK gilding though, is totally out of my range of reasoning... perhaps because the green foil on the tuck swapped with black foil? Oh, of course, 50 is <<<<<<<<<< 250. Still mindboggling for the pricing.sms69x wrote:$40?? Is this deck (hot or cold) foiled in anyway?? Otherwise can't understand how could this be this expensive... Well JR knows how to milk his cow...
Yeah, Unbranded Black Reserve Note is still one of my all time favourites, so it will be a hard pass, but I'm not willing to please JR's ego by paying this stupid amount of money for a recolored deck!
There will be two other time slots open for subscribers, so the deals that show "Sold Out" is just temporary for the first launch but seemingly effective for pumping later sales.

The problem with federal 52 v2 is way bigger than that. The letterpress edition is a fxking joketheCapraAegagrus wrote:Flat-out disappointing.
None of the original Federal 52 series should've been reprinted in any way. I already condemned the "Federal 52 V2" decks way back when.
One more example that theCapraAegagrus dishes it out to JR too when he disagrees with his actions.Flat-out disappointing.

$40 was the original Kickstarter price for the Black Reserve Note deck. How is offering this recolored reprint at the original price so offensive to some?sms69x wrote:$40??

Some will always complain about the prices unless they get something gifted.PrincessTrouble wrote:$40 was the original Kickstarter price for the Black Reserve Note deck. How is offering this recolored reprint at the original price so offensive to some?
I am honestly scared of seeing how ridiculously people are willing to pay in the after market for the black gilded and how much people will be selling them for.. It's egregious how people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for just a stack of paper really and how much resellers want to jack up the prices. But as Harvonsgard mentioned, the market is what it is..Harvonsgard wrote: Don't worry, I bet JR is doing his math homework quite well.
Is he milking, definetly. Is it wrong, of course not. I'd rather see $80 (of course minus production costs and everything) going towards the creator than seeing these deck retail for $40 and then popping up on eBay for $100. It sure won't stop people to put up the black gilded ones on eBay for $200 to $300, but who could blame them if some folks are willing to pay these prices.
The market is what it is.
This. The price on the 900-run deck doesn't bother me. I think that both of the gilded versions are really dumb, though.PrincessTrouble wrote:$40 was the original Kickstarter price for the Black Reserve Note deck.

Well, putting it that way, I think it would make sense, but since then we have come a long way, and now we know that it is possible to have a limited production run of 500 deck with cold foil on the faces and back for about $20 - $25 USD (Hello Tiki V2 BLACK ULTRA edition). Not saying that at the time JR took advantage on the backers and punished them by asking such a high price, but nowadays this is a very high price for a deck that has nothing more than a fantastic artwork...PrincessTrouble wrote:$40 was the original Kickstarter price for the Black Reserve Note deck.
