Bacon Playing Cards by Vända - Update

[vasta41]

As cool as I thought it would be for the cards to smell like bacon I guess you're right- it's better to have non-bacon scented cards than an overpowering, funky smell stinking up my collection.

[davegk]

yes, and the smell of the samples was very very strong!

@davegk - I been watching you for a while. I really liked your Vanda deck. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/go ... d/comments


Your Bacon deck is functional, but to commercial.

So you have almost some failed Kickstarters and are printing 1000 decks of Bacon Playing Cards. I'm just curious how much is 1000 decks from the EPCC? Have to agree 1000 is becoming the new number of the "LE$deck"...

[sprouts1115]

So does anyone know how much 1000 decks are from the EPCC?

@davegk - I do feel if your going to do something you need to do it quick. I'm sure CPC is going to relaunch soon with a smaller goal with their Bicycle Bacon Lovers Playing Cards.

They reached $4500. When they lower the goal they will get it....

It's official: Bacon Playing Cards will be available in November.

The deck is on the USPCC finishing schedule for next week and will be in my hands by mid-November. Available for purchase expected date is around Nov 15th and these will be limited to 1000 decks. I was fortunate to order this deck during the brief window when USPCC was offering 1000 deck minimums. Orders will be delivered in time for the holidays so you can include bacon decks on your gift list, if you'd like

500 decks will be made available in advance to people on the priority invite list. You can sign up here: http://www.baconcards.com
The remaining 500 decks will be available on the vandacards.com website shortly thereafter to the general public.

Note to admin: please change thread title to "Vanda Bacon deck shipping in November"

Thanks,
David

@davegk - That's great, but you need to show me some proof before I give you my money. This is like an ice bucket challenge you got 24hr. Jamm Pakd Cards has proof. It seems like USPCC gave him the ok because he had a Kickstarter going. http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=6725.25

No worries, Sprouts...these decks won't be on sale until I have them in my hands (and there will be photos of the actual decks to see)

[sprouts1115]

@davegk - Quick response thank you, but no proof leads me to believe you did a 2500 deck run not 1000. I'm going to call you on it. I don't think USPCC did that for you. Please, davegk make me look like an asshole. Meet me in THUNDERDOME!! I dare ya...

[davegk]

oh, right...

well, I'm not sure how strong any proof I can offer would be given that I could easily forge email images or documents, but I've attached the actual invoice which shows the deck count as 1100 (the extra 100 is to account for possible underrun and replacement of decks with printing errors or excessive damage during shipping).

Does that suffice?

No offense intended here Sprouts, but he doesn't need to make you look like an asshole. You're doing a good enough job of that on your own.

Wish I could "thank" you more than once for that one...

I don't eat bacon. I don't much like bacon to be honest. lol, I'm warming up to this deck though. Looking at the courts, pretty funny. I like the suicide king. Silly little piggy. AofC Even pigs like bacon. That's a fact.

Congrats on getting this deck produced. I was a big fan of it when it was on Kickstarter. For my decks I always enjoy watching the fexex tracking. For me the shipment gets here the next day since I'm only in PA. I'm sure glad I don't live in CA... the wait would be killing me.

Hi, seems like this is on a funding platform which would be shipped December? I thought this has already arrived?

[davegk]

Yes, the decks are already here and will be shipping this week. The December date was to cover international orders that may take a few weeks to be delivered.

[ashe]

How can we order more than 2 decks ? Is the postage cumulative?

[davegk]

You will be able to order more than 2 decks directly through the vandacards.com website tomorrow.

[davegk]

All orders placed through Vanda Labs will ship out tomorrow and should arrive as soon as tuesday.

Bacon Playing Cards are now available on the http://www.vandacards.com website and you can order more than 2 decks (as well as add other Vanda decks to the same order).

There are exactly 14 uncut sheets available (only 25 were printed and some were damaged in transit).

[ashe]

[davegk]
