Re: Egypt Mythology by FC Designs

Here are a few more images from a Facebook post he shared a few days ago. Looks promising, despite being a saturated theme. 441887595_10232670391169988_3600201700261732799_n.jpg 441607289_10232670390809979_315006649316889048_n.jpg 427855857_10232670390649975_1015861637295568670_n.jpg 441606150_10232...

Re: Bicycle Carnival Secrets by Limitededitionmania

The artwork looks a bit too much like mobile game artwork for my taste so I will have to pass. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times, but I, too, am skeptical about the artwork source. It may be legitimate, but it's a huge pet peeve of mine not to see who the artist is. Also, the courts and back des...

Re: War of Realms by Curio (ill. Ricardo Rodrigues / WAVELOOP) [KS]

Yes the 1 way/special decks are so much better before you even get to the foiling. Im not entirely sure why that is. Going one-way with a deck walks a fine line between aesthetics and playability. That is a big reason I opted to have a two-way deck so that the one-way could be the full artistic vis...

Re: "Cthulhu Madness" Playing Cards by Grim Joker [KS]

I believe the Cartamundi Poland location is their small batch, on-demand printing arm. I think the minimum is somewhere around 400 or 500 and you only have basic CMYK printing for tuck and cards. It has been a while since I looked into that part of Cartamundi so it may have changed over the last cou...

Re: Mirage Deck of Playing Cards

Stunning deck! The collector's tin is a nice touch and the artwork is just stunning. Very slightly tweaked from the v1 from 2019.

I did a quick video of the deck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4j-2YcOln2 ... _copy_link

Re: Why no one is printing KS decks via USPCC or Cartamundi these days?

My hope was to use Cartamundi for my cold foil special edition decks and I was willing to delay fulfillment a bit to get into their January queue. January arrived without any details on new pricing or any commitment to a printing schedule. I made the decision to switch printers. WJPC was already pri...

Re: Bicycle Elton John Playing Cards

I really want to like these. The subject is near and dear to my heart as I grew up loving most of Elton's music. This deck doesn't hold a candle (in the wind) to the Elvis deck T11 did recently. A deck for Sir Elton should have that kind of over-the-top flair and then some.

At the very least, the collab coin is a clever way to cross-promote. I believe it is more than that in this situation.

Wow, this really got some traction over the last several hours. About 8 hours ago, there were 81 available. Very novel concept and I am eager to see what the full size tuck box and insert look like. As a mini deck SUCKER, I couldn't pass this up, despite the full size price.

Kingstar has been gaining a lot of traction in the collecting world, and for good reason.

This has the potential to be the biggest issue for backers. The back-end shipping approach is risky because backers will have no choice if they want their reward.

It seems they didn't develop a special deck for the 20th Anniversary, if I am reading this correctly. It's just some overstock mystery decks packed in a half-brick box? What a missed opportunity and kind of lame.
