Original BlackCat Playing Cards live on KS

Unread post by hsbc »



I'll probably be in the minority but I like these a lot - clean design, Cartamundi (and I'm a cat person :lol: ) They also have uncut sheets for only €17 which in my experience is very cheap :shock:

I managed to grab an early bird! $8 shipped for a Cartamundi deck to me is a no-brainer :D

I think I would have been more enthusiastic about this deck if the Skateboard deck hadn't already been produced.

One the other hand: Tier 1 printer, I actually like the back, and overall I think the theme is cool. It looks like they're trying to start their own skate brand-- and even though I don't skate anymore (too many injuries)-- I like the idea and their campaign.

More power to them, it also does not look like they're at risk of not funding.

The brick box artwork is really nice, but I am not a fan of the back design.

"Designed for skaters"? What?

It is a quirky deck but I am not sure whether all the other merchandise is there to support the deck sales or the other way around.

Magic Tapp,

I think they're trying to start a skateboarding brand. This is typically how it is done, release a small product line all at once: shoes, hoodies, beanies, maybe a deck or trucks/bushings. With cardistry being popular among the same age demographic as skateboarding, I think it shows that they're aware of their demographic.
"Designed for skaters"? What?
Their mascot and overall design choices remind me of circa early 1990s Vans. It checks out.

need help on this from any backer.
the creator is no more responding therefore we need help with someone who can make a post on the main comment section.
we shipped to half the backers as that is the list the project creator sent us & paid for shipping but there are backers who have not yet received their rewards.
We are happy to ship their rewards if they can email a proof of kickstarter backing & pay just the fulfillment fee to receive their rewards as we have the decks to fulfill.

Well... some would argue they still are...
Jokes aside, I'm glad they arrived at your place and kudos for gamblers.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
