WOPC wrote: The earliest playing cards had blank backs because of the difficulty of precisely aligning a back pattern with the fronts of the cards during manufacture, without small differences which would permit an opponent to recognise cards from their backs. Of course there was already the problem of the backs being marked with smudges or spots. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as printing technology improved, simple patterns of dots, geometric shapes, sprigs or other small repeating motifs were introduced and gradually perfected on the backs of cards.

Dear Backer,

We would like to provide an update on the recent claim of copyright infringement made against us. We want to assure you that we are operating responsibly and are within our rights in the creation of this reproduction deck. We are actively engaged in discussions to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.

In light of this dispute, Kickstarter has temporarily placed all funds on hold. Should resolving this matter cause delays or require unreasonable legal costs, we will ask the platform to initiate refunds and we will release the decks directly via PCD.

Despite this unfortunate issue, we do not expect any delays in delivery of your decks as the artwork has already been given the green light by the USPCC, and printing is on schedule for completion shortly.

We deeply regret any concern this may have caused and sincerely appreciate your understanding as we navigate through this challenge. We will continue to keep you updated as the situation unfolds.

Thank you for your continued support.

The PCD Team
