Thanks for sharing Andrea. Those came out amazing. Can't wait to get home to see mine.

Looks awesome!

Those look fantastic! I wish I had been able to back these (not enough dosh at the time ).

Sweet looking cards. Though regretfully I didn't back and not sure why. Maybe the price or backing too many projects at that time. If priced right at via Gamblers I may just buy.

The pics above with the gilded edges are of the normal gilded set? Can't wait for the cobalt gilded, I haven't got a notification yet.

Yes. Those 2 pics are of the Amethyst gilded deck. My Cobalt gilded wasn't included in the package. Not sure if they're shipping separately since they had to be ordered from the website or if it was just overlooked when packaging my decks. I've messaged Eddie on Kickstarter and am sure he'll get it sorted out for me.

FYI, just got word that the Cobalt Gilded decks will ship separately.

Thanks again for the pix, Andrea: those are some awesome looking decks! Congrats to GW for shipping an early contender for next year's voting on "UC2016 Decks of the Year".

Love the photos; this deck really does look awesome. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Edit: I've received a shipping notification from GW, but I don't know if it's for this deck or for some decks I ordered from Legends a few weeks ago that are supposed to be shipped by GW. Maybe both? Do they combine orders?

Just got mine in! Man...wish I had gotten those gilded. Look sweet.

Same for me. I think it was just at a bad time of finance for me and I had to pass.
Would definitely love to get some if they have any for the aftermarket.

These might be the hardest deck to not open next to my White Centurions. I can't wait to see pics of the cobalt foiling...

The pics I posted on the previous page are of the Cobalt foiling.

Yep. I'm dumb. Still awesome!

LOL. I'll see if I can get some better pics tonight. Like Mike, I've had a bit of a family emergency and just got my mom home from the hospital this afternoon. Everyone, if your mom is still around, call her today and tell her you love her.

Have I mentioned the holographic foil on this deck is way cool?! LOL

Can you please stop it... This is not funny anymore, -i'm still waiting for mines to come and you are just showing off!!

Just kidding, those look really good, can't wait to get my hands on that!!

I am personally a fan of USPCC over any others but I have to give credit where credit is due. And EPCC pulled off one hell of a deck here while pushing the limits of what can be done to playing cards.

I received an email from Eddie yesterday stating that they ran out of copper/amethyst uncut sheets. I'm a little disappointed but in their place I'm getting a cobalt uncut sheet. It'll probably look better anyway.

I'm glad I went back and got one of each of these four decks, both the standard decks and the Gilded Editions (limited to 150?) of each. I seem to have backed one more deck, they just arrived, so I'll have to check which of them is the 'spare' - either a Copper or Amethyst" standard deck. These truly turned out very nicely!

So these aren't made by USPCC?
If so, those who bought and are USPCC fanboys and have regrets, I'll take them out of your hands for the right price.

No, clearly not, it's Expert / Legends PCC (which is the same factory - this particular deck was printed by the Expert 'side' of the house).

I wish I had gotten more, pretty certain that the 1 "spare" deck beyond one each copper/amethyst standard and gilded is already spoken for.

Got me thinking if I should open the normal Cobalt or the gilded Cobalt whenever it arrived. Gilded decks taking forever so now it's all about that foil.

I got mine all in one box, though I didn't get very many, only six total - and opened one. One each of the two colors "Gilded" decks (out of 150, I believe?) - all have serial numbers, and I think it's max 1100 even for the standard decks?

It's 2 versions of the cobalts. In KS, it was the normal ones for $35. After it ended, they offered 40 of 50 limited cobalt gilded decks on their site for $55.

I only looked at one of the two gilded decks. So I have a "1 of 50" deck in there? Jeez! I'll have to look again...

The "1 of 50" is for the Cobalt Gilded. If you didn't order it from their site (since it wasn't available on Kickstarter), then you're thinking of the Copper Gilded or Amethyst Gilded (150 pairs were available).

50 Cobalt Gilded decks
550 Cobalt decks
150 Copper and Amethyst sets

I wonder if the cobalt gilded decks will have a shipping notification like the KS decks did.

Nope, you're right. I didn't follow it after the KS campaign. I have one each of the standard deck (550 + 1100 printed) and one each ('matched pair') of those gilded.

I have amethyst #1052/1100 open and use it to play cards right now. They really did turn out well, with one exception: they still (like Exquisite Bold and other "hot foil stamped" decks that use the 310gsm paper - from Expert (or Legends) show through to the faces, unfortunately. At least it's not as bad as Exquisite Bold where some of the stars actually broke the web of the paper.

I got my tracking number for the gilded cobalt deck. I wonder if they'll ship #1-#40 out of 50, #11-#50 out 50 or just mix it up.

Has there ever been a deck limited to 50 or less?
