Natalia,

I'm confused as to this campaign to your last.

You only offered 110 Red Limited deck at $25/deck on your recent campaign. You stated and justified the cost was high due to only printing 110 "LIMITED" decks through MPC which works out to be $2,750 in total if all decks sold.

Now with this campaign, your offering 200 Red, 200 Burgundy + 200 Green as a "Limited" item decks printed through the exact same company (MPC), with the exact same features for all 3 decks. So if this campaign sells out of the limited edition decks, your total becomes greatly increased to $15,000.

I don't need to be a mathematician to figure out that even printing 600 decks from MPC should cost closer to the $8,250 (give or take) considering your last campaign. I'm sure the price includes the shop time to setup between decks, plates, ink, paper & printing.

Shouldn't the overall price of the deck come down when you start printing more decks, not up?

I'm sure most here on UC feel that a MPC deck shouldn't net $25/deck with no special features considering the stock used and overall quality. It'd be different if you were printing all 4 versions through USPCC.

Can you explain a little and help the community out?

Best of luck with this campaign and still love your overall art work.

Hi,

Thank you for your comment!

Unfortunately, here is no difference in printing 110 deck or 200 deck by MPC. They offering lower price ONLY if you print 250 decks. It is true and you can even take a look at MPC website and you'll see the price for each quantity + they charge International shipping.

To be honest, I would prefer to stay in 110 decks limit, but in my last campaign I received so many messages from my backers that they are upset that all the RED LIMITED Decks are sold out and I didn't know what to do...... because some of these backers are people who always supported me (my long time backers).

So, I decide to offer more this time, BUT I only will print amount that is sold!

So, if we sale only 130 decks, I will print only 130 decks. I've done this before in my Calavers campaign last year. I offered 500 PURPLE LIMITED Edition Decks, but I only printed 200 decks. Each deck was numbered 1/200, 2/200, ets.

Please, let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you so much!
Kind regards,
Natalia

oh, also MPC wouldn't count them as 600 decks! Because they all different colors, they consider different decks, so they will charge me for each 200 decks separately! In my Calaveras campaign from last year, I had Limited Edition GREEN deck with - 100 decks only, with high gloss on the tuck case and they were beautiful! But, the price was $35 per decks.

I wish I could print everything with USPCC, but the min order is 1000 decks + set up fees + tax + overprint, so it would cost a fortune. I actually asked them if they could print 500 decks of each color for me, but they said no!

Ahh! Dammit! I just read that getting your Calaveras Luxury deck signed was only optional [should have], after seeing that these will be signed. Irrespective: in for 1 of each Natalia, good luck.

Here's my two cents on this project:
My initial thought was, "ugh- another muertos deck? PASS!" but the artwork and colors are so great that I slowly got past the fact that there are *SO* many day of the dead decks that they're now spilling over to animals.
As I scrolled down the page, my next thought was, "these are a bit pricey considering no "bells & whistles" but USPCC printing- nice. Maybe worth it."
Then I kept scrolling. And scrolling.
WAAAY too many colors! There should only be one color deck here, maybe 2 as an add-on or something. I was immediately turned off by all the colors so I went back to see how much one deck costs and $14 is just barely above my limit for this project (wishing there were a single EB for $10 or $11 ).
Good luck, Natalia- I'm sure this will fund! But I will be sitting out.

P.S. This isn't that big of a deal but the 2 deck EB is $21 but the description says $20..

Funded in August and still not produced yet? Was in production in January and then a month later there was some delay in a vague update. 2 months after that she posts the exact same vague update, why? Give us a real update with actual info instead of a copied and pasted thing. Same thing with both Muertos projects.

Been over a year on these Muertos projects now and there's nothing by silence from Natalia, not good!
