Yeah, do we get to specify in the survey or something at the end?

Yes, probably the survey at the end. Remember, Lorenzo doesn't use Backerkit, or PledgeManager. He may, however, contact you personally (or as a group) to verify which version you want.

Customer: What's wrong with my PC? Me: Sir, it looks like you have an ID..10..T error.
LOL! I always like to use the "PICNIC" error, myself. I guess it's just a matter of style points, but the "Problem In Chair, Not In Computer" always worked for me!

That being said, today's Gran Riserva" decks went like chicken strips, and the project just had it's best day since the first 5 minutes, when it did over $4000, now just short of $41,500. If we keep on pushing and pulling, this pair of decks will set a new standard for 2nd timers on KS: likely $50,000+ and we're still just getting Lorenzo watned up!

Since he wasn't even known to playing card collectors barely 6 months ago, that's quite an accomplishment - and I'm proud to have helped in every way I could. By the end of the day tomorrow, he'll also pass that magical 1000 backers for a single project threshold where only a few have ever gone before, especially playing card decks. Lorenzo just got a fresh wind and we're also talking about "Deck #3" to be launched soon enough (with Lorenzo, soon is never soon enough!), so keep your eyes open! It won't be long before he shows his cards one more time! Talking about an instant hit: Lorenzo Gaggiotti went from an unknown artist to a playing card rock star in under a year. That's impressive, and it's witness to the fact that instead of living off his reputation, Lorenzo has taken every single bit of advice and not just implemented it, he's improved it, used it for new directions outside of the original intent and made other aspects better as well. I have to soon take a few days off from the most fun I've had in many years: really pushing these decks and artists that I love so much: that will be a sad day, but it will also be the day that we launch CL, and personally I just can't wait!

Don't forget the ever popular PEBKAC.... Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair....

Lorenzo couldn't fail in IMHO. Awesome art. Great campaigns with fairly priced rewards and always giving that little extra that makes folks glad they pledged. Being involved with the collecting community here at UC and listening to advice.

Update (lucky) #13 is out, Noctis tuck case finally sees the light of day (pun intended). Fitting that it comes at midnight here in Europe, though. A little hard to see on a computer screen, but if you zoom in, the detail is AMAZING!!! Somebody needs to ask Lorenzo to have a few extra uncut tuck cases printed for sale...hey Mike!

Lorenzo, beautiful, as always! Lux and Noctis both.

A few projects have done uncut tuck sheets now, first one was Jackson's independence deck iirc. I'd probably pick one up for this project if they were offered. How else are we to properly admire the interior tuck printing?

Black, the new "Black".

I like that it's not just a re-colour, the Noctis tuck looks more classier.

well that makes my decision on which deck i want as my gran riserva - the noctis obviously :lol:

The Lux Tuck actually looks almost dull in comparison to the detail on the Noctis, but the Lux is stunning anyway, but the Noctis is almost mindblowing :ugdance:

Yeah, the gold foil really puts it over the top. I'd put this side by side with Jackson's unbranded Black Reserve Note. Simply stunning!

I've sent the files to EPCC to ask if the embossing and the foiling is doable with those thin lines... just to be sure 100%

Yeah, I'm getting the Noctis for my Gran Riserva, too. I agree about the Lux. Stunning, of course, but the Noctis seems better.

I stand truly in awe of the beauty of this tuck. The gold accents are incredible. If those gold accents could be added to the card backs on the top, center and bottom symbols I think I would need a new pair of underwear...... :oops:

I've been thinking about adding a few more bricks for that reason. Resale will be incredible by the end of the year. :drool: :drool: :drool:
