That's what I was quoted by them directly, so I'd be shocked if they were misconstruing their pricing to a potential customer.
They don't like sharing quotes, but I know for sure that they don't have a standard set of quotes. When my representative was fired from the company, they sent me a new quote that was much higher than what I had before, assuming I was either new or perhaps naive. After that, I stopped using them. But next time, I will mention your info and ask them to provide the same prices.

That last quote was not a joke, but no, thanks :D

P.S. I still believe your quote is unreal.

This does seem a bit low but I don't have much doubt. About 2 years ago I was quoted approximately 3.50 a deck for 1500 copies from legends. It was also for foiled backs and I believe 2 foils and embossing on tuck... been a minute so I may be off by a bit.

I would have expected Ze Yang to know about montenzi's project - they must be much bigger/busier than I realized

To close this case (for my own peace of mind), I requested a new quote. :shock: This time, they gave me prices that are more or less in line with what I had before. I don't know what quote they gave you, but the average price based on 8 positions (4 * with foil and 4 * without foil) is 2.5 times higher. Most likely, they gave you prices for decks printed on Chinese blue core paper. It's not the worst option, by the way.

Thanks for reaching out to them. I'm very glad I was wrong about this project being abandoned.

Welp, 4 months have gone by and no updates in that time. Someone in the campaign comments mentioned they reached out to WJPC and they said an order hasn't been placed yet and that they had been trying to get a hold of the project creator. Looking sketchy again.

Marvelous Decks is a brand to be cautious about imho. Kellar has a track record of not so great communication.
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.

Well I certainly won't be backing another of their decks in the future if there are any.

I feel bad for Srdjan Vidakovic, having his art tied up with another shady creator after what happened with Vanda's STORIES. At least that project finally did get fulfilled!

Yes, it would be a shame if this project doesn't see the light of day

Just sent them a message in KS and IG. I'm starting to feel like I just want my funds back. I doubt they'll answer though.

And yet another 2 months of silence. They haven't even logged in since June. This one ain't happening. It's going on my unfortunately growing "lost causes" list.

Card collecting can be expensive...especially if you pledge money for decks of cards and get nothing in return but silence!
