Nope, I got a few - don't now why at this point but I'm not as biased as people think.

I'm sure a lot of people backed these, especially when the Red Fontaines go for so much. Not to mention all the Zach Mueller flourisher fans.

Didn't go for these, since all I see are 2 slanted lines.

Zach put out an update today

Turns out Zach printed 1/5000 on the bottom of the tuck - but he printed 15 thousand

wamp wamp waaaa......

Apparently the Red Fontaines had a smudge, but the blues have a typo error. 1 of 5000 is not correct it should be 1 of 15,000. Oh and the Blue Fontaines are better for some reason. I think they were printed the same but who knows. Right?

Probably not... his last run (the reds) was only 10K so USPCC probably ran them on the sheet press - but now that he did an order of 15K they were run on the web press. According to people in the know... (cough Jason Brumbalow)

This press by far supersedes the Sheet press in terms of finish and embossing the air pockets of the deck.

Of course.. It's been a while since Zach held a brand new red deck, so he might be remembering it differently.

And now you know... and knowing is half the battle

15,000 decks of the most boring "design". God are there so many fanboys out there ?

Posted: **Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:12 am**

And he printed 4000 extra decks. He's really squeezing the money out of this one.

Posted: **Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:25 am**

So one of the most over-rated blah decks in the world are now printed in a quantity of 15,000 (even though it says its a print run of only 5000 - maybe he should join up with D$D now that he left T11)? So this makes a completely unremarkable deck even more unspecial.... It appears he sold 11K out of the 15K already, I just have to laugh at all the chumps who bought bricks at a time hoping these will fetch the prices of the red ones. With 11K already out in the wild with 4000 still unsold, these will never go up in value. Sad.

There is already a single deck on ebay for $60 but no takers. A lot of fanboys have be- (wait! I bought these decks does that make me a fan boy? I'm 46 years old!) anyway... where was I...?

Oh yea...

A lot of fanboys who didn't buy these because their Mom's won't let them have an Amazon account didn't get these - and Zach states in the video he has no idea when/if he will release the rest to the public. For one, he doesn't have a storefront or a dot com - so.....

"up in value" is relative. I am sure they will be on ebay for MORE than the $12 they went for on KSTRTR. However, all of those people who have been saying... "I bought 12 bricks, I'm going to make a fortune!" Those people - are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Red = 2,500 run
Blue = 15K run

Yea.... rude awakening

Posted: **Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:28 am**

Haha that makes you a... FANMAN ! =D

Haha but yes, a very very rude awakening..

BTW : We bought from this website ourself, one sheet arrived destroyed, we contacted him, he never replied...

About the blue fontaine decks, we will have some for sale at a very fair price soon.

Yup. I am one of the people who got this "cup of coffee" in the lap. Thankfully I only got 1 brick of these things thinking that I could turn them around if they reached half the aftermarket value of the reds. I am pretty sure that at a 15k run they will not get to a price worth the ebay hassle. When I seen the update video, my jaw dropped. I cant believe I didn't see that coming.

I did a count on how many decks was pledged for after the campaign and it was just less than a 100 decks short from 5000 decks. Backerkit was really uncalled for if he intended to keep it limited at 5000 decks.

I got my half brick today. Each one says on the bottom
1 of 5000 on the bottom

Each was individually bubble wrapped and they came in a sturdy box.

Now, that little be-atch Zach needs to get me my brick of "Blues" to go with my half brick of those red ones. LOL
