That was the Early Bird International shipping.

Thank you so much my friends for announcing the launch!

I am really excited about this deck and if you have a couple minutes, you can read the story behind it and the reason for this blue edition.

I sincerely hope the campaign does really well and I feel always really proud about your positive comments.

I appreciate your support and let me know any concern I can solve.

Let me explain the $25 shipping thing because it is something tricky in KS. I have tried always to convince CPC to release a few decks for the international backers with a small discounted price. They have always to support so high shipping that I always feel their pain (as a Spanish collector). CPC acceded to offer a few slots with a discounted price for one and two decks (with the usual high international shipping). Nevertheless, KS doesn't allow to create a tier excluding the USA in the potential backers so the only way to avoid what happened in the Wood deck (some USA backers got those international tiers with free shipping) CPC put a high shipping ($25) to allow USA backer to recognize those are not their levels. Even in those levels, an international backer has to pay $19 for one deck.

THANKS A LOT!

Dear friends

just wanted to share with you the real images of the final version of the tuck.

USPCC don't provide with prototypes (or perhaps they do but I never asked for the quote :P) so I am always worried till the tucks are made. This time, I asked them to send me one sample of the printed tucks to check it before the final production. I received it yesterday and I have to say they have done a nearly perfect job.

If you have the original metal deck, you probably enjoyed the tuck case. I asked them to make a deeper debossing as I wanted something more realistic and they really did it. I have taken some photos so you can see the final result. Sorry for the quality. My old camera needs some help :D And my skill as photographer are much more than improvable.

I hope you like them. Thanks!

These are stunning Max! I am super excited about seeing this deck (and extravagant tuck box) in real life :)
I actually think both you and your camera have done well to capture the detail - along with placing the deck on a metal wire to complete the theme (cool) :)
