GW sent me a tracking number already so hopefully I'll have my red deck today (Saturday) or Monday.

Don't forget he should be selling the rest of the remaining red decks today too.

Lotrek returns from his USA trip on the 31st so I'm hoping / guessing we'll here something the first week of November.

Exactly. The emails will be sent in the first weekend of November. I need to decide on some final details but New York isn't the best place to do that.

As for today's sale, I returned home a while before 11:00PM only to find out that I didn't have internet connection! The problem was solved too late so I'll send a newsletter with the new day/time. Sorry for the inconvenience...

On a side note: Backers, beware! This trip was very fruitful and has already inspired 4 completely different decks for which I've collected material

Just 1 humble request, please finish and release the Hieronymus Bosch deck first before launching the others. You've been teasing us so long with that deck; it deserves to see the light of day sooner than later!

I second the motion.

We want our Hieronymus!

I'll want my Signature Ambassadors and KS Arabesque decks first.

Well, I'm just waiting for the KS Arabesque, but I feel pretty sure we're going to receive those, so I'm not worried about that, at all. Late, for sure, but if there's one thing I know, is that Lotrek has always done right by me, even if it has taken him some time.

The Hieronymus Bosch deck, on the other hand, is still somewhere in limbo design. And the cards he has shown here are breathtakingly beautiful.

Waiting for that email. Tick tock...

I got my red deck from Gambler's yesterday. These are Lotrek's finest yet.

Lotrek. Hang on to those decks a bit longer. You have already emptied my bank vault enough.

Yes, I agree. Right now I'm quite happy the Blue Damask deck email has yet to be sent out.

Emails are out.

Payment sent.

The blue looks like it's going to be amazing.

I also sent the payment because the blue is stunning... but I have to say that I didnt like how the things turned out.... either you say your printing 2 editions or you cannot trick people the way you did! I am a little pissed since I did not expect to pay this much again for a deck of cards but... oh well, I am a card collector maniac afterall

Yes... This issue was discussed here a few pages ago. You can have a look.

Aside from rushing and not reading the email carefully . Bank vault and couches raided. Money sent. Super stoked. Love the Red Damask.

Money sent. Glad you put in that everyone has 24 hours to respond, though. That's very helpful.

Sent the money too.

For once I was glad to receive an Email like this, as it wasn't totally out of the blue and the funds were just sitting around waiting to be spent

Also sent the money. Waiting for the blue deck to complement my reds.

as it wasn't totally out of the blue

I see what you did there.

How much are the blue decks selling for? If people are to get only one deck, very few would be up for sell on ebay. Best to get it normal priced than paying double.

I am not sure how much the demand is going to be for these decks. Just to get them directly, they are $115 each. I think the market for decks $200 or more. It is a beautiful deck, but even so I am afraid the air is going to get thin on these.

I agree. The same four listings for red have been on eBay for a while between $110-$170. You have to figure folks will want north of $175 for blue. The number of folks willing to pay that much is probably very limited. I’m reluctant to even get it at $115. Still a few hours to decide.

It would be nice to get my red one first. I ordered it blind within seconds they went on sale. My tracking number has not been updated since the day it was mailed. Is anyone else still waiting on their red deck that was mailed Oct 11th? Dissappointed.

If you don't want it I'll take it from you

I posted this in the Buy / Sell / Trade Section but might as well post it here as well:

So I know Lotrek just sent out the emails for the Blue Damask decks.
If by any chance someone doesn't want theirs I'm looking for a 2nd one to go with my 2nd Red deck.

I have plenty of decks to trade for (see my website) including a Silver Arabesque, Zenith and a Purple Aurum.

Let me know.

Again, no email.

Writing Lotrek now.

If you can’t get a reply I suggest sending the PayPal to him anyway — if you want the deck. PM for the addy if you need (I don’t know if it’s the same as his reg email)

Thanks. Lotrek emailed me his info so I'm all set.
