He just passed the Pedale record with 10 minutes to spare!

Congrats Jackson on your success, and amazing achievement! I can't wait for these to arrive!

Jay

And still going! Currently at 148,323 with 5 minutes more.
Let's see if he can do 150k.

Congratulations! This is the first time I pledged for a deck on Kickstarter. When I first saw the original design I knew I had to add these to my collection. You deserve the record for the beautiful design and hard work you put into this deck. I can't wait for the next two in the series!

This deck rightfully deserves the top spot in Kickstarter funding of card deck projects.

Agreed. Couldn't afford to add more...but glad it made it

Bought deep on this one, most exciting deck evah. Kudos to Jackson for listening to card freaks and evolving his KS project to a record breaker. Oh and a heck of a lot of talent, too. Can't wait to get my paws on these.

Update with pics

Hey guys just wanted to let you know I have received all of the proofs and I have the Fed 52 team double and triple checking everything before we throw the third switch and send the decks to the printing press. Here is a shot of the Uncut Sheets.





Also you have about 24 hours to finalize your backerkit orders. I will probably be locking them down around noon pacific time. Once they are locked I will take the next day or so to get a final tally of orders so I can have the numbers to send to USPC. So If you were planning on using backerkit head over there and finalize your order.

I also wanted to give you guys a sneak peak at the Unbranded Silver Certificate Tuck Case.

have to admit the pips are different. i've seen a lot of pips and the background design on the pips is refreshing and new. who would have thought a deck with a money theme would be successful. Also like the dash under the index. nice touch.

Can I get these after the KS has closed?

The Federal52 decks will be available here

Thanks for the link!

The decks are printed!!!




UPDATE #65


Great news guys! The Federal 52 part I decks have left the United States Playing Card Company and are in transit to where I will be fulfilling them in my home state of Texas. The team at USCP next day aired me a brick of each deck, here in California, and they look AWESOME! I am so pleased with how they turned out.

What does that mean?

As some of you may know I will be designing playing cards full time. Tomorrow is my official last day at the game studio where I currently am an Art Director. My wife and family left California earlier this month and I will be joining them at our new home in Tarpley, TX on the the 26th of this month. The Federal 52 Part I decks should be delivered in Texas late this afternoon. There are a ton of moving parts and other production items that I am still waiting for before I can start the fulfillment process. With that said the promised delivery date of September 2013 will be no problem and I expect that I will be able to start fulfillment in mid August. I will keep you up to date with new info the closer we get to fulfillment time. Its been a long road but the finish line is now in site. Thank you so much for you support and patience.

Final Specs:

Federal 52 Bicycle Branded Decks - 6,500

Federal 52 Kings Wild Branded Decks - 2,148

Federal 52 Uncut Sheets - 250

Gold Certificate Bicycle Branded Decks - 4,183

Gold Certificate Kings Wild Branded Decks - 2,068

Gold Certificate Uncut Sheets - 200

Total weight - 3,328 lbs

Design Note:

The only design change that had to be made during the production process was with the custom seal. After about three revisions and prototypes the original seal with the intricate line work couldn't not be produced to the quality I was looking for. We finally landed on a designed that has the Kings Wild Logo on a solid Green or Red background."




I'm eager to get these in!

Wow... this is awesome.

From Jackson's FB page


"My buddy Chris Chelko, creator of the Whipsering Imps Deck hooked my dad and I up with VIP tickets to the Tonight Show. Dad got to talk cars with Jay after the show and I got to give him two Federal 52 deck. Great memory for my last night in Cali."






CBJ

Wow! Imagine if Jay were to show them on the show...

Or in his twitter feed.

either way, it's cool that he had a chance to meet him.. and a smart business move to get the decks in the hands of celebrities !

While I am slightly cheating, since I have had some of these for weeks now (insider perks and all that), the Federal52 Kickstarter decks are going out so a lot of you will start seeing them soon.

They are really amazing in person and I think you will all be thrilled when you get yours. He did amazing work, really setting the bar high. (As a fellow designer its actually a bit intimidating.) I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the set.

Just got mine, and they sure are nice. Congrats again to Jackson for a job well done!

Got my Fed 52s in today as did a friend. They are sweet! Like the unbranded tucks best, but they're all very well done!

Got my Fed 52s a couple of days ago. Very happy!

I guess the moderator gets his last still waiting hehe

Aaargh. Trying to be patient but living on a tiny island on the wrong side of the Atlantic sucks sometimes!

Still haven't received mine.
Getting kind of worried actually.
2 of my poker buddies both received theirs and the guy I turned onto the project at work got his.
I however have received nothing.
I emailed Jackson today hopefully he can update me on the delay.

I'm not sure if 2 days into September counts as a delay. I posted over 400 packages over the weekend. If you haven't got yours yet, and you buddies have it's only because your package wasn't at the top of the pile. If I have posted your package you most likely received an email saying that it has been posted with a tracking number. Patience, they are coming.

Good news is I'm sitting down with a fulfillment center to handle part II.

Got my cards Saturday, and yes! they are awesome!

I was really impressed with the poker chips too. I am waiting to throw more money at you for a poker chip set... What's the hold up?

Thanks Jackson!

Thanks for your response Jackson.
As I said I was just worried because so many people around me have received them already. That on top of the feeling you were winding down on the shipping process...
Sorry I start to worry pretty quickly now after all the times I have been burned.
Really I should just stop pledging on kickstarter but then I would miss out on great design like this.
It is a catch 22 I suppose.

No worries, thanks for being patient. I don't think I ever said I was "winding down" I have been packing and fulfilling for the past 3 1/2 weeks. I pack during the day and my wife posts at night. We are pushing really hard to have everything out the door by mid September.
