SWTWC Part 5: Venexiana Gold - SOLD OUT - 17 hours!

[Cbkimble]

can we request a specific number at purchase time? Not saying we'll get that one, just a request.

[montecarlojoe]

The only thing you can enter into the purchase form is your username - which is an absolute must.

I imagine to keep it fair that they will be numbered in the order bought - but maybe Mike will be open to special requests? I'll leave that up to the big man to decide

Won't be long now...

Nope, but PM me and I'll discuss the possibility of letting you have a HIGHER number than you draw by luck (order of sale).

Joe - #35 is first, #37 is whoever gets the checkout done 2nd, and so forth. There will be a few even numbers in there if UC members buy all 90 decks available, since that range is only 80 numbers (all odd numbers >= 35). I can't really screw around with the time it takes to try to give everybody a pick and chose thing. That's why I thought that all the odd numbers worked best to start with: otherwise he's only have numbers 115+ left to sell on KS. I know that's pretty darned "fair" to all of us, but it's not really fair to "them" (nor him).

Yes, I'm pretty certain that is correct, because I know for Lorenzo on CET in Stockholm it will be at 06.01, just like it would be if I were in Koebenhavn.

[Sher]

Just curious, how long is the KS campaign? Standard 30 days?

[Yashi]

So the rest will be sold on KS? That's going to go against their policy though so best tread carefully. Anyway, if someone could put that countdown timer thing for 27-June @ 12:01AM EDT, it would be much appreciated.

I'm doing a KS mainly for the fun of it and because my site accepts only paypal for now. The campaign will last maximum 7 days, probably only 5.

[Ben Taylor]

When you refund a paypal payment, they don't take any fees. There are only fees involved if you send it back as a separate payment.

I say kill that black boarder. Make it White, Gold, then Black then Gold then black and so on. Be carful with the tuck box. I notice you don't have any room for error. You might want to fold over a little more black or color like he did. But if you notice on his right fold. Part of his book may show in the front during processing...

[Bikefanatic]

As long as I get a deck, it doesn't matter which # I end up with.

[Lotrek]

I forgot to say that the stock is 330gsm French casino stock. As for the finish, it will be smooth and the cards will handle nicely. Not like USPCC of course but pretty good for a game.

[chach]

So like just less than 3 hours, right?

[Bikefanatic]

I had to re-read when the link will be available. This feels like when you stand in a long line in front of a store waiting to get something at midnight.

[Mike Ratledge]

Well, you never know. I might just open it up a little early so the true UC users get the best serial numbers, eh?

Another whole hour and change? Maybe not - let's see what happend at 11:01 - maybe I've got my clock set to Atlantic time or something? I've been in Nova Scotia before, stuff happens, ya know?

When it DOES happen, it will appear at the BOTTOM of the Original Post up at the top of this page...

[badpete69]

Could not resist to buy one even if i get one free. done 1 hour early btw

[Cbkimble]

The link doesn't work in google chrome for mobile.

[badpete69]

better get to a computer quick hehe. Try typing it manually in the url box unitecardists.com/ucorders.php

[Cbkimble]

I got it. Luckily, the boat internet actually has a decent signal.

[bamabenz]

I'm in. I feel like a Sooner!

[snsdmonkey]

Glad I checked early. Hope I get a lowish number

[cherrynukacola]

This feels like a good first post: Yessssssssssss! Got one!

[volantangel]

Let the hounds out !

[SuicideKing]

Oh yessss!

[Dentyne]

Awesome, I didn't even read this at first. Noticed the post had changed and was like, "Wait, I thought he said it would kick me back to the index page if unavailable." Thanks Mike!

[Mike Ratledge]

OK, "early voting" is in, and here are you lucky early bird's serial numbers:

The winners of the contest (Sher & magikfingerz) and all of the moderators get a special exclusive "United Cardists Premier Elite" edition with numbers 1 up to 12 (one saved for UC2014 DotY contest):

USPE #1: Sher << Exactly right in the contest!
USPE #2: magicfingerz << SO close, in fact he ended up being right because what was planned (both sides foiled) could not be done - yet - and there is gold metallic ink on the courts

UCPE #3: CBJ
UCPE #4: volantangel
UCPE #5: montecarlojoe
UCPE #6: badpete69
UCPE #7: Eoghann
UCPE #8: Strag
UCPE #9: dazzleguts
UCPE #10 & #11: Walrus and Sharpie, not necessarily in that order

And the odd numbered decks being sold here - those 90 special early sale decks at a 10% discount only for UC members (and it seems we have a few new members today!): Note that there weren't enough odd-numbered decks to make 90 total, and those that are below 35 were reserved for sale at full price. I do have a few even-numbered decks, but those will only show up when if I sell more than 80 decks.

Congratulations on having THE Holy Grail of Playing Card Collectors: fully foiled edge-to-edge backs!

Lotrek tells me that these will ship between 8-July and 10-July and that the process has drained him. I know everyone thinks that it is not that difficult if one knows what you are doing, but rest assured, he has earned every single dime of these funds, and him even offering the membership here a 10% discount is beyond the call of duty. I know for a fact that these decks will be worth far more than we are paying for them before they even ship, so if you want a second copy you can buy them starting on Monday or Tuesday at the regular price ($100) - full fair - from the UnitedCardists KS account which will be the last time you find Lotrek, Lorenzo or myself (and quite a few others) hanging out "over there"...

[volantangel]

Well those are some new names there in the list ! Come join us for discussions !

[Cbkimble]

I was thinking the same thing. Havent seen several of those names before. Always more fun with more folks involved.

[DWulf]

I'm one of the new ones. Just got into card collecting, although I'm not really 'collecting' per se since I plan to use most of the decks I get. I just love the variety available. Outside of JR's Independence LE, this is the first deck that I plan to keep sealed since I missed the Gran Riserva. I've been lurking for a little while, since I found out about UC from some KS campaigns.
