Got mine too of course. Now how about a special Crypt edition Carat Case, smoked instead of clear so it can't be seen and we don't have to hide it for every collection pic etc lol (assuming it isn't sleeved or something).

Those of you subscribed to Lotrek's email list (if you're not, why not?) go check out his latest email about Crypt going live. I love Lotrek's sense of humor about all this delays.

With the usual hiccup when Lotrek and Time have a meeting....

Another great thing is he's willing to be humble and apologize when he screws up.(see Damask Blue Edition incident) When he can, he'll even try to make up for it. True professional and gentleman. Unlike the sensitive creators who can't take honest criticism.

Looking forward to receiving my tracking no. sometime after April 15 (yes factoring any possible delays.) and seeing if this Cryptic deck is really worth the price, all the mystery and hype that went with it.

Hmmm... a thought just struck me. If we want to nominate Crypt for any DOTY 2020 awards, does that mean we can't post any pics of the deck at all? Now it'll really have to go on the strength of votes from those of us who actually opened the deck to see the cards.

SORRY EVERYBODY, Badpete is right... In Greece time changes on the 28th of March and when I checked the dime difference, 10:00am EDT was 5:00pm here. That stupid back and forth with the time must stop one day! AARGH!

Apart from that, I'm amazed by the number of lunatics out there!

Really can't wait to send you the CRYPT decks...

Hey Lotrek, after 72hrs when the window closes, can you share with us the number of decks sold in this period? I'm really intrigued about how social psychology factors in hahaha

Absolutely.

In for 6 here as well. =) You've got me impossibly excited over here for a potentially wondrous deck of cards, Lotrek...and one that we can't even show off! Love it, lol.

I'm happy to get 1. Lets hope Time will meet Lotrek on April 15 to ship these decks.

HostileTraveler · Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:45 am

In for one. I had considered doing more, but with some of the other releases coming out recently and this being an expensive deck, I figure that will do. Besides, it's the end of the world and I'm not sure the cannibal warlords that rise up will take Lotrek decks in payment. Or maybe they'll become the primary currency. Hmm...maybe I'll get another...

They will. It's the new CRYPTo'currency!

For weeks I've been telling myself I can't afford this, but it's Lotrek so naturally I bought two.

Lotrek I just want to say thank you for the 50% payment option - not sure I would be able to order one right now otherwise

I was thinking about it and wouldn't be surprised if Crypt comes in a (sealed?) Carat Case actually

Very interesting idea. I could see that too!

TheCollector · Unread post by **TheCollector** » Sun Mar 15, 2020 7:43 pm

For the epicness of what it seems this deck is going to be, if there is some sort of exterior component to it, my guess would be something more along the lines of, say, a molded resin shell like what Lorenzo did with Gatekeeper and the upcoming Keymaster Tarot. Maybe not exactly, but I'd guess something with a bit more dimensionality and handling to it than a Carat Case.

"Hear, hear! Place ya bets!" Lol.

Whoever offered to get a deck for me, I want to thank you but I have purchased at least 1 deck. Thank you for offering and I will remember you.

Forget psychology, you could simply increase demand by stating every deck comes with a free loo roll

That pay one half now and one half later option is evil

! It was tempting to order double the amount of decks, lol.
I've stuck to being modest and just pre-ordered one though. Better luck next time Lotrék

.

In all seriousness though. It is a great option to make this deck affordable to all collectors. Way to distribute a deck. Thank you as always. Things like that show that next to creating art the collector is always in your mind. Truely appreciated.

I think it will be a lot of fun until shipping. This is phenomenal: I was expecting the people who know me to buy the deck but I see a lot of unknown names that came and bought at that price something they have absolutely no idea what it is.

Boy, you're lucky I'm not a scammer!!!

I'm really interested to see how resellers would try to resell this deck

resell this deck???

Once they see it in secret, they will NEVER be able to let it go..

Well... I'm pretty sure there ARE blind resellers trying to hoard this deck no matter what, seen in some past projects. So let's see

I really hope there is some kind of punishment from Lotrek for doing that.... mwahahahahahaha

Did the other secret decks leak eventually? I was all in- even though I am as of today out of a job! I just know at this price point, I am gonna be blown away!

The previous two mystery decks weren't advertised in the CRYPT way that they can't be exposed no matter prior or after. So the reveal was bound to happen anyway. But with CRYPT, Lotrek has stated thoroughly that this deck was intended to stay mysterious forever, forbidding anyone to leak the images and to see how long till someone actually breaks the rule. So the whole idea is different from the previous mystery decks.

Will the decks themselves come with a note or something explaining the "no pictures" thing?

OVSUB · Unread post by **OVSUB** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 1:07 am

In the unlikely case I end up selling one of my crypt decks I'm going to put it into a mystery package and film the whole thing before selling it(They'll only see the package), this way the deck is still a mystery for them. Also this way I have proof that I did indeed sell them the deck and didn't scam.

Do you record the numbers sent for each order and the numbers you see on eBay/other markets?
