The last decks shipped Wednesday I’ve been told. There was a few days delay between batch 1 and 2 due to missing stickers, so some will have received earlier. If you do want tracking numbers let me know and I’ll see what I can do - rick@Originscards.com. But yes, they are on their way! I’m really happy with Gamblers work but I’ll see what I can do about shipping notification in the future

HeyHo on the say-so, if you do have to go the sub-par uspcc rooted route, I'm preferencing Bee Stock for your UC deck, >>>Bee Stock<<< and I ain't talking lower case crushed bees either, give us collector stock, >Collector Stock< more in th'Casino-Robusto range, not that cardistry economic crudity !
None of that >economy driven< guff disguised as innovatation/p*ss in your pocket/b*s*
Any unreal aussie will tell you th'same.
Oh thats right yer a Kiwi .... :ugthink:

Got my decks today, GW was the shipper though they usually send a tracking number. I'll have to enjoy these decks before Rock comes out with the annual UC, 2018 decks.

The back of the tuck of the dark blue or black tuck is the best I've seen recently! Maybe ever, for now. The whole tuck is blinged out than the red tuck. The Rouen deck is cool, keeping it looking traditional and neat looking without too much of the modern elements.

Got my mixed half brick the other day along with my Black Label #7... dude... absolutely freaking amazing. Its not too often that a sequel is better than the original but this one definitely is. It's like Empire compared to New Hope. My only complaint would be the seal on the Black Label deck makes it so I can't open it. ;)

Rick, you've outdone yourself for sure. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Chach mate, these are the easiest openers ever .... and the neatest of techniques .... ease the bottom of that label up, the ribbon does the rest.
And then the interior wrap, so cool ....
Full marks Rick ....

Thanks Bike, Chach, that really makes the stressing over the details worth it. It sounds like everyone is getting their decks now, shipping in the US is just as slow as NZ!
And thanks my west island friend, hope your batch has arrived. Yes the Black Label has a special non-tear seal if you do want to open it (details).

On the side, did you hear the news we can no longer use the terms Bicycle and Bee on our custom USPCC decks? Pretty disappointed on that one.

Can you go into a little more detail about this? Do you have a link with more information?

What?!!! :o You mean no more Bicycle or Bee branded custom decks? If that is true, it will shake up the card collecting world, not that Newell cares. A sad day indeed. Jay, fill us in on what's going on.

Yes received an email a few days ago, thought it would have been big news -

"All contracts going forward will have the paper grade name listed as Classic or Premium vs the more brand designative Bicycle and Bee."

Attached is a list of rules and details but basically that's the summary. No Bicycle or Bee labelled custom decks. Same stock tho to be clear.

So does the use of the name Bicycle or Bee apply when naming the type of stock used or does it extend to any use of Bicycle on the tuck or in other words Bicycle branded custom decks?

Custom Bicycle decks are still possible but may be vetted more carefully I think. Have asked for a little more info. I wasn't able to print 'Bee' on my first tucks but used the name in promotion. In reality it's a name change, but a shame if you value the brands like myself.

Why are they doing something so stupid to take the brand name off that has been their "trademark" name for so long??? You see a branded Bicycle/Bee deck and you know automatically it will be a quality paper.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Just from the snippets I'm seeing, it appears you are no longer able to refer to USPCC paper stock as either Bicycle stock or Bee stock, but rather as Classic stock or Premium stock. I think custom decks can still be branded as Bicycle or Bee on the custom tucks as long as you meet their criteria just as before.

I finally got my decks, man oh man.
These might just be my favorite Kickstarter decks of all time.
I can't even think of one right now that I was more impressed with.
Factoring in the price point, Origins Shadows of History might be my favorite deck of the year.
