i cant pass up a deck like this, absolutely adorable. $10 shipping is a real downer but i have to get these. the same makers of the recent release Medcha which turned out great. i have no issue with backing another project from them.

please fix the link, i cannot get it to work lol.

@STL in general if you share a link cut all the bullshit behind the ? and the ? itself.

Fun project. Definitely dorky. Kinda my sense of humour and definitely something I would have gotten in my earlier days collecting. Nowadays nothing I need to own.

Wow, that seems very reasonably priced for foiled back and pink gilding. Impressive.

How good is WJPC gilding I wonder.

I took some pics of the Collectors Box. I really love these, the gilding came out great.

Well damn, I'm going to have to get one of those

Did you take those pictures? They're great!

I did, thank you! Coming from the resident photographer of UC that means a lot

this deck turned out really good. another example of a deck with just about every feature available and only cost about $17. it also has a plastic sleeve over the deck with some printing on it. not that the sleeve is a huge bonus but it wasnt free to make or include with the deck. a deck just doesnt need to cost $20, $30+.

Not directly related to this project, as I can't judge it's quality, but in general I would be careful with such umbrella statements about prices. It is kinda skewed to compare decks solely by feature and price tag. Gilding doesn't equal gilding and one foil doesn't equal another foil. Coming from a print business background I find it strange when people love to stress they got a good deal when they buy a deck for e.g. $17 when it did cost the manufacturer $3 to produce. But then bitch about the price of a $30 deck that took the manufacturer $10 to produce, just because the number is higher.
There're obviously differences in quality and manufacturing, labour costs and so on and so forth. Just because the differences aren't obvious to laypeople doesn't mean there're none.
We as customers never will have the full transparency to be able to objectively judge the factors that are beneath the surface but one can still try to gather some knowledge at least.

Great pictures indeed @manu. Do you have an instagram acc where you share more pictures?

The $31 collector boxes likely helped make some room to keep the standard decks cheaper - the same way burger joints make more money on soda and fries than burgers.

A well designed deck, and well designed campaign

I also picked up a ceramic coaster for 9 bucks - another example of “exceptionally reasonable” and “customer friendly” pricing

I just hope they make enough profit to stay in business - I could have paid a few dollars more…

Thank you! I didn't, but I've made one now if anyone is interested:

I'm not a huge fan of instagram but I suppose it's the best option to share photos
