Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
My only concern with this is that of a college student trying to fulfill all these packages. Brings up memories of the Bicycle Core deck, something I don't want to be involved with again. Using fulfillment would be so much better.

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
Not sure if they would actually pledge at that price, typically resellers prefer to strike up a deal outside of KS to reduce fees(get better pricing) as well as not tie up funds for months.badpete69 wrote:Obviously resellers like Gamblers or Collectables pledge that
But meh, no court cards = standard courts + overly simplistic tuckbox/design, ah well your mileage will vary indeed.

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
Not everyone is willing to deal outside KS but in the end who knows. I would find it hard to believe someone need 120 decks for his collection. Unless they think this is the next Virts and plans to monopolize ebay for the next year hehe

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my deck. I have been pretty lucky with some pledges and my family and friends have been very supportive. I hope you guys get the chance to spread the word!volantangel wrote:Hahah indeed, whos knowsbadpete69 wrote:Not everyone is willing to deal outside KS but in the end who knows.

Also just to respond to the other comment as well. I am a freshman at Siena College in NY, I timed the project so that I will fulfill all the orders over the summer. I will be working hard to be sure that all the backers get their products in prime condition.
Thanks again for the feedback!
Simon

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
hey simon welcome to the forums.
Like i was saying on the KS comments, there is no way these cards will be produced by EPCC at the earliest mid fall 2015 so that summer fulfillement schedule won't work much for you. Just advanced warning

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
simon- I don't see any courts. I guess they are standard courts. Your back is ok. You don't break any rules, but make the white border thinner. You can probably go half of what you got. Make EPCC sweat with your cut border.
I notice you have 2 black Jokers. Traditionally, there is a red and black Joker. Change one the "J"'s to red for a quick fix.

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
Thanks for the feedback. I plan on making that border as thin as it can go. I am a big fan of thin borders. Also, great point about the Jokers. Of all the people I got feedback from you are the first to point that out. I will defiantly make that change!sprouts1115 wrote:simon- I don't see any courts. I guess they are standard courts.

Re: Glassbacks - Now live on Kickstarter
I've repeatedly asked about the courts and pip cards too. But as here the question is avoided. Even when asked directly.
If you reach out to people for help and they offer to give it, as least answer their questions.
And really, heaps of people are doing standard courts. If your doing it just own it. If your ashamed of it then why do it?
either way its a dodgy step to not show or mention them and worse to ignore questions about them.
Full disclosure Simon offered in the end to send me pictures if I gave him my private email but honestly, I don't have the time to go searching and pushing and pressuring to see if a deck is any good. Esp when there are so many good ones out there to choose between......
When you couple that with an obvious situation of in house very large pledges its all a little too hinky for me.
I hate being negative but it all seems a little suss and its usually a simple idea, hey look at these photos, like em? Buy em? .....
