Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
Fingers crossed for the Grail. I'm thinking that at some point we can just start adding our Grail pledge money and that will get it over 46k.

Well, it's a good thing we're going to reach the Grail anyway without you... I'd have to send the walrus on a sviatch hunt otherwise...MagikFingerz wrote:I don't trust myself to remember to correct my pledge IF the Grail stretch goal is not reachedth4mo wrote:You haven't added your Grail pledge money yet???MagikFingerz wrote:Fingers crossed for the Grail.

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
So glad that this funded!! In celebration I'll be adding on my pledge for a grail uncut, and if we don't meet that, I'll go for an art print instead. But I just may add on all of those anyways... ARGH! The choices!!! Not that it's a bad thing, it's just that desire doesn't necessarily equal funds available.
But damn I love this deck!

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
Rick is rapidly closing in on the Grail decks, should be within the next 24 hours at most, probably less (see the OP for the graphics).

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
I've never pledged as much for a kickstarter project as I have just now done for this project.
Rick, you've done some awesome work here. I can't wait to get my hands on the art book. The coin. And, of course, both the FE and Grail version of the cards. Ohhhhh, yessss.

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
Same here, usually I'm pretty low on the scale, 2 maybe 3 per deck but this one blows all my previous pledges out of the water. Going all in so to say, fair amount of decks, uncuts, coin. Right now I'm debating on an art print. That Queen of Clubs keeps seducing me with them eyes.rousselle wrote:I've never pledged as much for a kickstarter project as I have just now done for this project.

I'm in the same situation and after mulling it over decided to keep my Earlybird 6 pledge (not going to up to a brick) but I saw in the comments of the latest update that you can add on a grail deck for 17 NZD so long as you also message Rick since the production # of the grails is limited. So for $3 more than the Mixed Six pledge level, you can get 7 decks, 4 FE's & 3 Grails. At least that's what I get with my fuzzy math, waiting for confirmation from Rick.Eoghann wrote:Same situation.

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
I also admit this project is the most I've pledged for yet. Good thing is there was new tier levels, I canceled then re-pledged using a new credit card (since it's been possible that hackers on KS or wherever could've got people's info but they didn't).

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS
Yep, thought about that, but I've got an AmEx card connected to KS, and they immediately call if anything even slightly suspicious happens, especially if it originates overseas. I've had one person try to buy clothes from the Spiegle catalog for "general delivery" at the local post office under a false name. They were in a county in deep South Carolina where I had used my credit card the previous day while driving, filling up with gas. 2nd AmEx card went about the same, I think I'm on #5 now?

Gonna need a second opinion on this, but does anyone else think that the limited grail edition is......nothing much?

McSpazzy pretty much hit the spot, but I don't think anyone minds color variations as long as there aren't 8 of them spread out over 2-3 years

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS - Funded!
It was a great campaign - and I cant wait to get hold of them 
Would totally have added on for a Grail tie (or cravat since we're talking origins here lol) - I feel this is the way forward!

For future reference everyone, if any KS project is not used in USD, you can use Google to see the equivalent value.
I looked at my bank statement and it shows the USD amount.

Re: Origins Playing Cards KS - Funded!
Keep in mind though that will just give you an approximation of how much it is. What Google tells you the rate is will be different than the amount your bank gets and even different from the rate you will get and finally charged to you. Exchange rates are in a constant state of flux and the rate you get depends on a million and one different factors. Mind you, I didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn last night, I'm an FX trader.
