Thank you! She's already much better. She had to take hard medication which caused side effects making the cure more painful than the flu itself... :(

Though it sounds like it was a rough ride, I am glad that she is better now. This flu season has been especially nasty and it’s not over yet. Be safe all!

I took my photo on a black sweater on my bed. It curved a bit. However, a bit of color saturation and it really turned out nice. But someone would have to work hard to make those decks look bad. I managed to pick up a Bronze deck the other day (Yeah). When my test decks come in, my Grotesk collection will be complete. If they come in before the end of March, it will also mean that Lotrek will not be behind on any Kickstarter projects he has with me! Given his frantic pace of development, production and fulfillment, he should make his next deck a Whirling Dervish theme. Something he is so familiar with. :ugthink:

There’s not many people that can make red leather look cool. That signature deck is impressive.

Finally opened my package last night and these decks are EXCEPTIONAL. I really like how the colors pop out from the red/black colors! Another pair of decks I don't regret buying!

We still need Sherman to come up with Lortek carat cases because they are getting thicker and don't fit the normal carat boxes! :lol:

Did the letter carrier knock on your door and you had to sign to get your decks or were they in the mailbox?

As I didn't wish to further delay it, I sent the decks and the test print will be shipped by the end of next week when the tucks will be ready.
What's the status of these ? Were they sent ?
In my case feel free to send it together with the Arabesque to save some shipping costs. ;)

I hate to bring up delays, but I don't think the test decks that were purchased directly from your website as part of the Inverted Inferno campaign (Update #2) have ever been shipped. I know it isn't a huge order, but that is also getting a bit long on delays. Those were ordered in May of 2017. Any word on when those might go out?

It is all out of concern about keeping your working space under control. :lol:

Was anything ever heard about these decks? I’d actually forgotten that I shelled out for these, but then it was more than 18 months ago, and there really are sooo many balls in the air...

Lotrek advised me that he hasn’t forgotten, and will try to get these shipped ASAP as soon as he gets back. I think, like always he bit off a bit more than he could chew at once. He’ll get them to us. I am sure it will stay on his radar until they are posted to us.

Yes, these will be sent as soon as I get back home and recover from the jetlag!
The only reason I haven't sent them yet is the mess in my "cellar" where I have the cards and many of them aren't accessible. I needs 2-3 days to put an order there and before I leave for the USA I just didn't have that time...

I know I'm weird...

With so much focus on the new decks I thought I'd post my deck of the day, what I'm carrying today this Sunday the eighteenth of October. (Perhaps with a little reminder for the veteran collectors and a little point of value for the new collectors.) This is not a difficult nor expensive deck to come by fellas. It's an absolutely great deck! Get your mitts on a copy or two and ENJOY them. :D
(The tuck has stood up great over the years of gentle use. Of course I don't open pocket carry as you can see. Great quality though.)
