Did you check out Cards Against Humanity's 2014 Black Friday sale?Cbkimble wrote:Hey Paul, if you put the poo in a collector's box, sign the box, and seal it really well, I'll take one.Encarded wrote:If you backed this deception and didn't get Tendril yet, I'm going to find you and send you a box of poo.[/i]
lmao. j/k. That would be disturbing.
Well I know that I could choose better words, but saying that the deck is limited to 500 and that all you have to do is up your pledge by $20 that seems lying to me!"Pearl edition limited to 500... all you have to do is up you pledge by $20...." this guys know how to make some money, even if it means lie on your face! With 1300+ backers it's easy to realize that this deck will be way over 500, my guess is 2500. You are paying $20 for a rare deck, but in reality you'll get a limited deck (as most of the other decks here in KS), and those do not cost $20 each...
Well, at least this move made them hit the embossing streach goal, and that's the only good new! Now lets hope that the embossing comes out as the mookups, which I strongly doubt, althought Elite design beautiful playing cards they could improve on tuck cases, most of their other decks are just plain and simple tuck boxes (with lucky you get some foil!!)
Bottom line: if you like the Pearl edition, then pledge for it, but do not expect any rare or super duper limited deck, is just another nice looking deck!
So they mentioned a private email, from which I never got any answer, but at least they let me know that they will not provide me a "special deal". It looks like they were waiting for this for replaying to my email!@Sergio Sousa, it looks like you are angry because we didn't offered you a "special deal" in the decks you asked. You are being very disrespectful so allow me to explain you something. Not every thing is about making money.If we wanted to make 2.500, or 5.000 we would. We could simply make a new project and make even more money. So we have limited the deck to 500 units only (and we can prove it) because we want to have a deck that is limited. Period. Lastly, your pledge will not be accepted.
Lol what special deal did you mention, but im with you, i highly doubt they can limit the decks to the 500 they claim, i guess im out out this one even though i said i would reconsider. Thanks sergio for bringing this to light =)sms69x wrote:This guys are just a bunch of spoiled kids... They can not take a comment/critic that they do not like.
About the Pearl edition I made a comment on the project page:Well I know that I could choose better words, but saying that the deck is limited to 500 and that all you have to do is up your pledge by $20 that seems lying to me!"Pearl edition limited to 500... all you have to do is up you pledge by $20...." this guys know how to make some money, even if it means lie on your face!

Althogh I like the decks they design, I can't deal with this kids again.
Sure sounds like it's a separate deck, but I wouldn't expect them to make the distinction between deck and deck+tuck.Elite wrote:A limited edition of 500 decks only, and no more will be ever printed. This IS our most rare deck and is set to become one of the most sought-after decks in the industry.
This is true, because... Well, let's just say that I'm high on their list of reasons for not coming to this forumsms69x wrote:They can not take a comment/critic that they do not like.
It was nothing realy special! I just requested if they could make me a deal of $10.83 per deck (shipping included), as they had done for me in the past for several times.volantangel wrote: Lol what special deal did you mention
The pearl edition is just a tuck swap, they don't say it clearly as they just want to grab some extra bucks form backers, but if you read in one of their messages:MagikFingerz wrote:The fact of the matter is that the Pearl edition is either a tuck swap (likely, although they do refer to it as a separate deck) or they're printing 2500 and shredding 2000 (highly unlikely). Unless they're using another printing company, but you'd think they'd inform people about that.
So there you go... $20 for a nice tuck swap! I'm in!! oh sorry, they will not accept my pledge!!Answering some of the questions, the pictures are clear. Same beautiful deck, premium gorgeous foiled and embossed white tuck.
Funny people don't say the same things when it's some other decks. A tuck swap is always a money grab, doesn't matter what deck it is or who the creator is.MagikFingerz wrote:"The pictures are clear" lol. Yes, but YOUR WORDS ARE NOT CLEAR. Oh right, they don't come here. Nevermind
Regardless, $20 for a tuck swap is a money grab like no other. Although it's not really even a tuck swap, it's just a tuck recolor. And if you wanna get really technical, white means there's less ink used so you actually pay more for less. It's like making a frozen pizza with mushrooms on it, then when people tell you they would like a version without mushrooms, you make one and sell it for more than the original.
The fact that they actually said "Not every thing is about making money" just makes it all the more hilarious.
Not to point fingers and yell conspiracies, but why wouldn't they announce that right away? Seems like they panicked from the reaction to the overpriced tuck swap and decided to add something after all.sms69x wrote:It seems that the Pearl edition will have gilded edges.... At least is not just a tuck swap.
I have not, but I don't think they've started shipping them yet. Or at least their last update didn't indicate so (though they should now have the decks ready to be shipped).EvanEssence wrote:Anyone receive these yet? They're supposed to be shipping out this week.
Oh, we bought the same decks! (two white pearl, one normal) Anyways, if you opened one of your White Pearls, do they fan as badly as mine do? My pics are uploading to Imgur now.badpete69 wrote:Mine came in as well
Guess I'll be checking my mailbox.BladeRunner1024 wrote:Just got mine in the mail. Will post pics soon.
