Becky C wrote:Quick question for Jackson. Do you have the estimated delivery date for this campaign yet? I am putting together a collection of cards as a Christmas gift for my husband and would love to have all of your decks in it. So far I am on track to have about 40/45 decks including the 2 branded decks from Federal 52 (and the hand inked AoS;). Thanks

I'm actually going to shoot for early December. Hope that helps.

WOW!!!!

"Silver Cert decks and Posters

Hey guys, some exciting stuff is happening this week! First off I received both the Silver Certificate Decks and all of the Screen printed posters and all of them look outstanding. The detail on all of them came out wonderful.

All poster will come signed and numbered.

I won't receive the Reserve Note decks until mid November so shipping will not start until after that so don't get to excited yet. But in the mean time I gave you some images to appease your appetites."

WOW!
These look great! I absolutely love the design on these.
Is it too late to order some?

You'll have to wait until Jackson puts them up on his store, or buy via eBay. Fed 52 Part 1 is going for a lot of money already.

I noticed he's got the Silver Certificate unbranded and Bicycle already in the store, but it says "Coming in December" (as it did the last few days of November), but they are going to go for $30 each. I don't see any Reserve Notes of any kind, brand nor tuck (yet) there... I've seen them available at Gamblers' General Store LV (ggslv.com redirects to their spelled-out URL name). GGS is a division of Bicycle (USPCC, rather) and has been for years, they're (GGS is) also hawking them on ebay already with "free shipping" over there if you go $36.99 per deck or $62.99 (I think - didn't write it all down) for both Bicycle and Kings Wild Project variations. They do have the Reserve Note in every form but the black Bicycle and KWP brands for the same prices in store and online (ebay), but those Limited Edition black reserve note (both brands) which sold for $40 up front? We'll see. Jackson keeps his stuff exclusive, fair enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see them going for $100 (somebody said they say $199, which I missed) or more. "We'll see"... I have seen them at at least one alternative web-based sight, well - partially, both Bicycle variations - Reserve Note & Silver Certificate" for $22/deck from one site, for only a couple of days this past week.

He was right on the money with "first of December" ship date, it was perfect shot!

Sorry, what I was thinking about was already reported by charlie81dbz over in the Federal 52 (previous edition) thread, so it was "TouchOfModern", I wasn't certain. $22 per deck, Jackson is getting $27 if you have the 10% discount coupon. I know I got a pair of the Bicycle-branded versions for $22 each deck. Seems like they will be $35 or more on ebay in a few days, they already basically are ($36.99 from GGS?) for all 4 varieties, but none of the Limited Edition decks.

As of today, the "Silver Certificate" decks - Bicycle branded & unbranded - are both available for $30 per deck, $75 for uncut and several new items not previously available

Did everyone get the KW newsletter sale?

What's a FORCE deck? Seems to be a deck with 54 identical cards of your choosing.

nope would you be so kind and post the newsletter here?
yep a force deck is for magicians - a deck of 52 cards from the same card (i.e. all cards are Jokers,9 of Hearts, 7 of Spades etc.)

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification!

Here's a link and screenshot.

My bad. It's not a sale. Just an announcement.

Okay...makes no sense to me to buy a One-Way-Force Deck of a extremly expensive deck.
I guess Jackson had 52+ damaged tuckbox decks and tries to get rid of them by doing those forcing decks.

The Problem is, that you have to use such a rare deck to perform and most magicians don´t use a deck in that price league for performances.
I use mostly standard bikes or Tally Ho´s but sometimes i use the Fantastique´s or Vaudeville decks for story magic.

Do the "Black Reserve Note" decks have a different colored back from the "White Reserve Note" decks? Is there any difference between the decks other than the tuck? Thanks!

Yep. The LE Unbranded Black deck has a black tuck with red foil. The inside matches the black tuck. The Bicycle black deck is just the black tuck. Regular RN inside.

Just got them yesterday in the mail!!! Finally!! Well worth the wait!


The only thing that I can point, is the red on the back of the cards, it doesn't pop as I expected!

I feel like that's a problem with all decks that have metallic foil on the tucks, because the actual cards never match up to it. Like most of T11's decks, the cards enduce a slight let-down when taking them out of a great looking box. The Exquisites are a recent example.

I hardly ever open my cards...most of the time I'd probably be happy with a tuck box full of sand.

That can be arranged. I'll swap out the cards, make it look like it never happened. Let's start with the black LEs.

I see what you mean! But it's not this case! Here the red seems to blend with the black! Maybe if it were printed with red ink instead of red metalic ink it could show up better!

I agree - the red metallic seems printed over the black and it does lose some pop. No idea if leaving the area under the metallic layer white is possible or even feasible.
When someone works out how to reliably foil cards that wont affect overall quality and performance we're in for some truly amazing decks. (And some truly gaudy ones too!)

Every time I seen the LE Black Reserve Note decks on Ebay, people be wanting $250. Hell nah! It's the principle.

I have two and have been thinking of selling one, I'd probably let it go for less than $250. How's $249 sound?

hey all, so im a latecomer to reserve notes. i see red one, black bicycle, and black unbranded. is there any difference between the three versions besides the card backs being black in the black boxes. i scrolled through the questions on kickstarter but there was 2700 of them! i picked up the tuck flaps maybe diff? and there was a special joker for one deck? is there any other differences anyone is aware of? just that i dont want to buy the black decks if they only slightly diff from the red standard version. thanks for reading my essay!

Unbranded Black Reserve Note has indeed a different back, a different tuck and a different joker (2 jokers), the rest is pretty much the same!

I would keep it chach. This project is not even a year old and the value of the deck is up 233% Jackson's reputation is only going to go up and it looks like he is just starting to make waves in the playing card market. Just think what this deck is going to be worth in 5 years when he has a even bigger audience and people are scrambling to get his earlier decks to complete their collection and Jackson is not even dead yet!

$250 - $75 / $75 = 233%

@sms69 thanks for confirming
