Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS) (wap)
@Mike, I think their project shipping rates for this campaign combined with the "never been done before" factor was not only a home run, but a bases loaded grand slam.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
I still think they should have put the raised gloss effect on the back of card and not on the front. Think about it. What touches the surface when the cards are being dealt. Is a "2" going to slide more than a face card?
First time noticing the tree in the back of card. Looks similar to Chris's back of card. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? And yes Chris's back is nicer.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
But you look at the front of the card more when playing games than you do the back.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
If anybody here has a deck of these coming to them, would you mind posting a pic of a card being bent. I'm curious how the raised ink holds up while being stretched through bending (while shuffling or any other method).

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
I gave it a shot. The embossing stuff is very thin you can see it on one of the pics, it's rubbery and I really don't think it will be any problem. The king of diamonds there was used in a friendly poker game as well as three solitaire games last night. The Joker was teased and inspected not much else and as you can see there is almost no difference between the two. The card stock isn't as springy as I'd hoped and I play hell getting these to faro. They stood up to poker pretty well. The rubber stuff they use to make the embossing flexes beautifully. I don't think longevity on these will be a problem at all, only time will tell so we'll have to wait and see.doobybrain wrote:If anybody here has a deck of these coming to them, would you mind posting a pic of a card being bent.

The embossing isn't raised off the card anywhere on the king of diamonds or any other card. It's just printed that way. The joker shows the same in the lighting, the clear embossing rubber stuff a long the hat. It's really not noticeable when you're using the deck. Tried to get the lighting to show it off as best I could.

TL:DR It's completely up to you.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
My Half-Brick of all but the Phantom Decks just arrived today in Fullerton, California.
And I have to say they are truly beautiful; enough so that I wish I had also picked up a couple of the Phantom Decks too!
The Standard and Court Decks will see heavy use by me; while the Stealth and Phantom Decks are more for collecting fun.
Now if they start producing the Standard and Court Decks in both a Blue and Red Back format (instead of just the Blue Backs they have made so far), and at an affordable price, these could become a real favorite for daily use for me!
I know they are releasing some of these decks to the public after all of the Kickstarter orders have been fulfilled, but I don't expect the prices to get better until sometime in the future... Sigh.

I received my Impressions set today and something I wasn't expecting, a signed Stealth deck.

Thanks for the images. Yeah, it looks like it holds up well. I was just worried that they would crack.Fes wrote:I gave it a shot.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
I got a standard and stealth, just for collection, but after seeing in person they are just too cool not to use. I may have to pick up a replacement set for the collection if I can't resist. They are pretty neat! I forgot they were releasing these later, thanks for that reminder.WillHart CthulhuWho1 wrote:The Standard and Court Decks will see heavy use by me; while the Stealth and Phantom Decks are more for collecting fun.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)
I didn't really want 3 of each deck but it was basically the same price to get the bundle than 2 of each and all uncuts.Eoghann wrote:Well no wonder, you bought everything!Cbkimble wrote:I received my Impressions set today and something I wasn't expecting, a signed Stealth deck.
