I agree and used to consider that a negative but now I look at it this way- it helps make it an easy pass for me.

It doesn't matter to me too much since I have to wait for european resellers to get them anyway.MagikFingerz wrote:I have nothing against color variations per se.

I would imagine so. Given this thing is already past 10K though, it doesn't look like it. Easy pass for me on these, never been a fan of the Fontaines. Doubt I ever will. I didn't drink the kool-aid.volantangel wrote:Seriously dont these fanboys get sick of this boring design ?
Where do you find these fanboys? I hear they are unscrupulous card deck buyers.volantangel wrote:Seriously dont these fanboys get sick of this boring design ?
I appreciate the designs you've created so far and I think the success you've had with your decks until now is well deserved. What I don't really get is how the success of Zach's Fontaine decks is really hurting anyone. The people who buy his decks know exactly what to expect and they buy it because they probably liked the last two versions. I don't really see any other reason to buy something than because either you want to try it out or you know what you get and you want it. I think that the majority of the people who complain about his success are not really in his target group anyways. Not every deck of cards nowadays is made to be collected. About the recolored versions he's doing: I don't see how this is hurting anyone either. Nobody forces anyone to buy a recolored version of a deck they didn't really like in the first place. But it seems like enough people actually appreciate the recolors and if they do, then they buy it, receive it and they're happy because they received exactly what they paid for.Encarded wrote:Call me old and curmudgeony if you want, but in the three years I've worked in this market the discernment of collectors has tanked and it's all about "completion syndrome" and not about art or history.
I can't really say if I like Zach or not. I never met him in person but I've heard from people who met him that he's supposed to be a lot different (positively) in person than how he comes off in his videos, but again, I can't judge since I've never actually talked to him.volantangel wrote:Well i dont think its just about the design, correct me if im wrong. The blue fontaines campaign came months late with almost no communication inbetween, 15000 were printed despite it clearly stating 1/5000 on the box. And that was just the last campaign.
This campaign is clearly targeting those who want to resell these cards, practically the first thing it addresses is how much the previous fontaines are going for (coupled with how much the "buy-it-now"s are on ebay, everyone knows that not the best gauge) and that just turns me off even further. I would go on to rant more, but what for, everyone can make their own judgement on whether they like the cards/zach enough (mirror i know you simply like this kind of design and not muller).
Let me just end off with a quote from zach "hundreds of people around the globe begging for a black edition of Fontaines"
