Got my deck as well. Love it. The gold is amazing. It's stashed away in a carat case for now.

Anyone else able to notice the back stamping on the front of the card? It doesn't take away the beauty but it is one of the more obvious ones I've gotten from Lotrek.

@Bruno. Lol. I can just gaze at these shining in my hands without playing with them.

There's plenty of decks where you can see the backs through the front depending on what they're made out of. To name a few are the limited black tuck Spirit deck and the cobalt Alloy deck. Once again, it's good the fronts can't be seen on the card backs.

Are you sure? On ICONS and Venexiana the back is way more noticable on the faces than in this one... Maybe is the deck you opened, the one I opened, while you can see the backs through the face it isn't that noticable, even if you compare with some foiled decks produced by EPCC.

FWIW, I inspected both of my decks, and while I wasn't looking for this particular issue, I didn't notice this in either deck (whereas, I *always* notice with my LPCC/EPCC decks). That doesn't mean it wasn't there; just that it wasn't noticeable on first inspection. I'll look more closely next time I open them up.

...which I will do before too long, because these are so freakin' awesome to look at!

That's probably close to 100% correct, I'm one of the ones that don't open the decks. I only open the ones without seals/cellophane or if I have duplicate.

It IS just an amazing deck, eh?

By the way, it's sold out at this point.

This is my favorite deck from Lotrek. He mentioned making another version of it.

Not exactly, the deck IS ready as it was printed with the regular edition. These are 50 decks printed on blue pearlescent stock with gold and silver foil on the back. Just waiting for the right time to release them. ;)

I've been desperate for this deck ever since it was first mentioned.
But my wallet simply wouldn't handle it being released just yet.
Need time to recover :(

I agree, too. Time hasn't come yet. Besides I need to design a new tuck for it and I absolutely have no time for it. Sunday I'm launching Ambassadors Player's Edition, Monday I'm shipping Grotesk Gold and Liturgy. :uggrin:

If Golden Oath was around $95-$97 then I assume the Royal edition will be more than that since it's only 50 of them.

No tuck, confirmed by Paul (Encarded), 'cause Lotrek finally realized that customers don't take the time to appreciate the craft not opening them :lol:
