Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
The fact that they haven't bothered making two-way backs of these, which should be pretty easy to do, makes it seem like another "lack of effort" project. Not to mention the "standard" faces, and faded decks was probably the first "theme" to be done to death (maybe second after black decks). Add in the non-USPCC/EPCC printer, and the equation doesn't balance out in their favor. I doubt they'll even reach their relatively low $5k goal.
Curiously - it has "french stock" but ships from the US

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
I was just saying to myself, there are a couple really nice distressed decks still available in the marketplace that have 2 way backs, standard faces and ARE printed at USPC....and cheaper. I do like the Joker illistration.

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
Although not Bicycle standard, those jokers ARE stock ones. Very common in Europe, at least.Sparkz wrote:I was just saying to myself, there are a couple really nice distressed decks still available in the marketplace that have 2 way backs, standard faces and ARE printed at USPC....and cheaper.

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
Those are typical Cartamundi jokers.
I'm afraid these don't hold a candle to 1800 series. Those are by far my favorite "found in my grandpa's attic" kind of design.

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
Not to mention that the AoS is classic Bee minus the hive and text. Someone's going to be getting a cease & desist order, pretty sure. I got a note from Don asking if I had noticed and maybe had anything to do with it, I suppose because I commented there (and pledged a little).

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
I like a lot 4 index! Sadly there is no decks with 4 index with Air-cushion finish, becouse i am left handaed and lefty deck is ugly. Ace of spade is ripped off and jokers too. Not enough Customatization on court cards. The backs look cheap but like the threasure back. Faded decks looks okay, but not printed on uspcc? The price is high for such project and ships from us.. :/

Re: Relic Playing Cards Collection (KS)
Sadly I made this order before I was a member of this board or else I'd of likely of never done so....
If you were a fool (like myself) and paid these folks for these cards to come to fruition, you're hosed.
I asked for status on this as their web page is no longer vaiid and this is the reply I received.
Luckily used my credit card so will start the process to get my money back that way, but due to this, I think I'm going to chalk this up as a sign to rethink my purchasing.
Hi Backers
We had submitted the order but due to a misprinted run and a manufacturer disagreement, we will no longer be able to have the cards printed. According to the manufacturer we will not be getting a full refund therefore we have to fork out some of the funds out of our own pocket, we appreciate all your support and we apologize for this inconvenience. We will be sending out refunds to you as soon as we can. We will keep you informed about the progress.
Thank you
Keith
