Yes, thanks manu - another $41au postage (I hope Jackson gets a kick back from the Shipping companies )

ps KWP's upcoming Ronin KS looks interesting

Ronin definitely looks like the deck for anyone who wanted Jackson to show us a different style.

Are you on the Delayed Shipping program? If not you can write to Customer Support to request for your account to be put on delayed shipping where they will hold all your deck purchases for 1 quarter and then bill you together. Then you'll be able to use the DELSHIP code to save on shipping.

They can delay it to another quarter if you only have 1 or 2 decks that quarter as I did for mine.

Thanks Eric, I will certainly investigate that one

Ah, I forgot they had actually put in a form on their website about the Delayed Shipping program. Check it out here: https://kingswildproject.com/pages/delayed-shipping

Note, you must put in the Delship code to get it. Or else they will charge and ship out the deck .

Brilliant Eric, thanks for going to this trouble for me

I am in the US but I think it is great that Jackson offers delayed shipping to help with international shipping costs.

I have received my Crow Brand and I am a real fan. The term "Vintage Reimagined" could be replaced with "Vintage Honored"
These are definitely not for everyone. If you are not into history, classic, B&W, simple and especially 'buying decks for their backs (and tucks)' this is not the deck for you

I did not buy any gilded because I could not see how gilding would suit what I consider to be a somewhat 'rough' deck - I think this Squeezer would have been very much a workers deck 100yrs ago
Has anyone got a gilded?
Are they shiny black or matt?
I can imagine a flat black edge printing working OK

Still not sure whether I'm going to keep ths sub. The cards are certainly not bad, and the historical info really makes me want to support these! I would much prefer a booklet to a website though

At least there is info there for the Texan 36
There is nothing there for Crow Brand
You get the following card in the deck but it only takes you to the purchase page with no 'in-depth look into the history and inspiration of this deck'

ps I would still love to hear what type of gilding the special edition has - anyone?

I'll open mine when I get home later and let you know.

My bad, it's The Bird gilded version I bought, not Crow. Incidentally the gilding on The Bird is a shiny orange.

Thanks Adam, I have some of the gilded Bird on the way - the orange gilding seemed appropriate for them
Hey G, don't you have a gilded Crow or aren't you opening it

I got a quick reply from Mariana at KWP

Unfortunately, due to some legal issues when we released those decks, we could not provide in-depth information on the Crow Brand as we did for Texan and Empire.

I am hoping that either Jackson or historian Jason McKinstry has a copy of the original 1910(?) Crow Brand that they might be able to post a couple of pics for - like Jackson did for Battle Axe in this thread. Surely USPC cannot stop one from doing that on here at least or else we are all in trouble

We do have the tuck pic that G saw on ebay

Is it this?

Here are mine, that I was inspired by.

And my Vintage Reimagined interpretation.

Thanks for sharing, Jackson!

Thanks a 'murder' kev and Jackson

How did you find the worthpoint links kev - a chrome search for Crow Brand playing cards doesn't do it

I think it depends on whether or not Google indexes it. I used an account to search, but it's with a paid subscription.

Jackson, would you be able to tell me what the gilded version of your Crow Brand is/was like? Gloss or Matt?

Honeybee wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 2:21 am Jackson, would you be able to tell me what the gilded version of your Crow Brand is/was like? Gloss or Matt?

Sure, I would say semi gloss black. (enough to see some type of reflection) You can still see these product pics on my site just make sure you go down a bit and click the "Gilded" tab.

Thanks Jackson, I am glad I asked as you have made me realize I have been missing out on most of your pics for every deck!
I had not picked up on the
o o o o o o o o o o o
under the second pic as a source of more pics
I know this seems too stupid to be true but my excuse (pathetic that I need one to cover embarrassment) is that seeing a few pics on the page I wasn't really looking for more
My surfing just got so much better

Bummer! The Crow Brand took only 14 days to get here whereas APC Postal did not receive my Birds for 18 days and they are yet to leave the US. Normally it would not worry me but I go away at the end of next week

Sadly Eric, according to today's Weekly Update, delayed shipping will be ending in November (due to complicating tax)

Thanks Team Robinson - arrived with one day to spare

Just wondering whether everybody's slip cases for The Bird Gilded were merely a sticker on a gray case?
I don't really want the slip cases - I was just surprised that they were just a sticker

Knowing what we all know about the Oriole/The Bird dispute between Jackson and USPCC, I followed my hunch

With Jackson being the super creative person that he is, does anybody else think that his alternative name for Oriole may have had a little to do with 'flipping' it to USPCC

Very much so

Can someone loop me in on this dispute?
