Even though I'm right handed, I actually fan better left handed, so I wouldn't mind a lefty deck. However, it appears that the novelty of expressing the winter deck's duality with the summer deck by reversing the pip orientation is being outweighed by most people's preference for consistent standard pip orientation throughout the set. There's no wrong choice because like others have said, these decks will sell no matter what. Please allow me to congratulate you in advance for the smashing success of your completion of the Seasons deck series.

Well, i´m damn good at doing blank/left handed fans so i could care less hehehe.
I´m very excited about the upcomming Seasons decks.

As a thought - Alex, did you ever thought about creating a passepartout for your uncut sheets as a stretch goal?

That Queen of Clubs needs some more color.

I'll rest when this is all over. I've never been so nervous especially after crunching numbers.

I'm not quite sure how I'd go about shipping those? Would those be shippable through the same uncut tubes? I assumed they were rigid. If the demand is high enough I would probably do so though.

Here is the Inverno deck finally.



Also, this is happening. It took a lot to figure out how to make this work but through proper stretch goals these can help close out Seasons with a bang.


I'll be making a FB event tomorrow to help with notifications for launch but again it's August 27th at 4pm CST. You can always sign up with our newsletter as well or use this link:

One of those tucks look like a side tuck. If you're going with a side tuck, I hope you make sure the bottom flap is glued like the Espionage deck and not tucked in like the EEPC decks. August 27 will be marked and highlighted on my calendar for sure!

I wish there was some of that blue on the Inverno tuck to feel like Verana wasn't the only one that didn't have a silver color.

Yup i see no problem adding the passepartout´s into the same tube with the uncut.
Most mailing tubes are bigger then needed so there should be enough space for the passepartout to be included (plus filling material like packaging paper)

Hey there. Just thought I'd remind anybody who was interested that the Seasons campaign goes live in almost 4 hours. If you haven't seen the decks, here's what you're missing.

I do hope to see you there soon!

I´ve got the facebook event reminder and can´t wait to see this campaign launch.

Let´s make a game - I predict this will be funded within 24hrs

Let's make it interesting. Each participant will donate a deck and the one who comes closest gets them all. Of course there will be rules against foul play. Who's game?

Lol I'm certainly game.

Sure, 8 hours

A pair of Waddingtons from me (Of Course).........16 hrs 40 mins

Cool!

Ok some quick rules:

- Only participants who throw their hat in before project launch will count.
- All participant pledges must be locked in before the project is funded.
- Can't modify pledge until after funding unless the project has some limited edition, first come first serve kinda deal going on where a pledge adjustment is absolutely necessary.
- Exorbitant pledges will be disqualified. Has to be a reasonable pledge, not thousands of dollars or whatever.
- Donate a reasonable deck please. No bargain bin, dollar decks but not too expensive either, so put those Jerry's Nuggets away guys .
- One account per participant. (This one is more honor based but I'd like to think we're playing fair here. )

Maybe the project managers can help us keep tabs on participants to make sure we adhere to the rules?

Do these rules sound fair and reasonable?

so my Waddingtons are out then.....
How about a sealed "Great Whites" by Drummond Money-coutts

Haha I didn't mean yours. I typed that before seeing your post.

I said it to establish a baseline. So the winner doesn't end up with a bunch of rider backs as a prize.

We can put it up to a vote? Anything goes or decks with some level of customization?

Very interesting...

What about shipping? I assume that the person putting up the deck has to pay then to ship it (anywhere in the world) on their expense as well? What's a reasonable amount to assume this will cost? International shipping is not my expertise, but is $5USD a safe worst case scenario if you choose the cheapest options and designate as a gift?

What funding goal is the campaign going for?

Yeah pretty much winner just sits back and reaps the rewards. I'm no expert with shipping either but I've shipped half bricks to UK and Sweden for like $18 - $20. So I think you have a good estimate.

I`M gonna win anyway

so i`ll put up all 3 decks.....16 Hrs 40 mins

I would also need this info before committing.

According to Alex, it's 35K. Just PM'd him.

Yes it is 35K. Sitting by the pool in Vegas right now waiting for seasons to go live and get those juicy EB

I'll join the pool. My guess is 12 hours. I'll put up the winner's choice of either a Vaudeville deck or a Triangles Prototype deck.

I'll say 18 hours.

They started early!! No fair

Thought for sure I had an EB this time, but when it came to final step then NOPE. Oh well, gotta be in on this one for sure.

Man early and those $9 pledges went quick!

What the hell? What's the name of the project? I can't even find it.

Those five $9 EBs went quick. I'm assuming Pierre was #1. LOL
