His KS campaign says USPCC even though it is a much lower quality deck. It's technically correct while still misleading.

He would get better results from China, I am not joking. If he continues to say USPCC he is purposely misleading the quality of his product.

I will try to talk to him about this thing when contacting through KS as I think he should clarify this.

By the way, Russell, as no one wanted to print my deck :) I ordered a sample in China and you are right, the quality wasn't so bad for a $6 copy (including the shipping from there to Spain).

Hey again,

I updated the Kickstarter project (except for the video, will be corrected shortly) as well as posted an update going over all of it in detail.

I understand that I will lose backers if they are not printed by the USPC, but I started with the smaller goal so that even if there weren't enough backers to print them with the USPC they could still get printed. I hope everyone doesn't wait to pledge until after the stretch goal is reached, otherwise the project may never be funded.

I realize that a lot of people want these decks to be printed by the USPC, and if you decide to cancel your pledge because they're not than I completely understand.

I'm now in. I got in on the Early bird pledge. I'll add more decks once I figure out what I'm going to put my money towards...

I think there's a good chance that it will succeed.

The reason I was saying that is that most of the funding came on the first day or so...lately there has been a rut..Don't get me wrong..I would be happy if this succeeded but watch for those pulled pledges on the last day if we are not close

Unfortunately this deck will never make the 10K level to be printed at USPCC...I am not sure it will make the $7400 level

So what kind of quality are we talking about if this deck gets printed at a 3rd party manufacturer...is it very bad?

This deck is in urgent need of some incredible promotion, but the creator seems to have disappeared.. things are not looking good with only a week to go..

The subject could be compelling, but the artwork isn't.

If the creator isn't hitting the card sites to support the deck, I would be very nervous about all the work necessary to ship them out. It is probably best to let this one drop.

I was told the quality of the third party decks would not be something I would be interested in. That does not sound like a ringing endorsement to me. It is a shame as I really liked this deck as well.

Thanks!

Totally agree. Even if it does get fully funded, it sounds already like it's going to be a logistical disaster for the creator to get these to their destinations.

That sucks. I hope he relaunches with the preferred printing method. I'd back it again.

I'd pledge again, although my 1 deck really isn't going to make or break anybody.

I would pledge again if he goes back to the one way back. IMO much better looking than the 2 way, and a nice link to the older one way decks.
