Seems like it may be an interesting deck. It definitely doesn't look like any other t11 decks.

The tuck box, if that is the tuck box is less than convincing, it's a clear notch lower, no make that 10 notches below t11's usual tuck box standard. We shall see.

Now if this fellow (whom I've never heard of...but then again my connection to the urban street culture is rather tenuous) did custom art for all the faces then it could be very interesting. But since this is T11, which 95% of the time does standard faces for their magic market, I don't expect to see it. The box looks rather lackluster.

NEW DECK - LOVE by T11 & Curtis Kulig

Unread post by wsop_legacy »

A collaboration with iconic street artist Curtis Kulig that you are going to LOVE. This Monday at 11:00am EST.
@ CBJ: From the looks of the message and picture background, the decks name is "LOVE".
Hoping to see more customization for faces ! :D
@ lumpyliew: I does not have much going for it. You would hope it would be 100% customization. We know better than that.

Boring.

With the simplicity of the artwork, more customization would have been easy. And just going for the AoH without touching the Queen is just shameful.

I think my girlfriend would like (or "LOVE") these better if they had custom court cards... Is T11 aware court cards can be customized? I guess I give them some lee-way since they more or less revolutionized custom tuck boxes.

they would charge me $41 for shipping for 1-18 decks to europe (GER).
for first class mail of course....3-8 Weeks delivery time.
Spending another $16 (a total of $57) to get it 3 days express...

Sorry to say but that means no more business for me with Theory11.

Actually Cosmic it might be with anyone in the US. I sell decks sometimes to people in Italy. Looks like it would now cost me $12.50 just for first class mail for one deck...This is crazy. Ebay sellers that sell international will take a hit as no one will buy from the US at those shipping costs

Effective today the USPS raised their rates, and international is quite a bit higher (double in many cases). HOWEVER, those T11 prices are far, FAR out of line. I just implemented all of my shipping costs and to Canada, they can easily ship First Class (no reason at all to only offer Priority) and it should be more around $11-12 for two decks.

That obviously is a lot higher than it was yesterday, but the price T11 has currently has is silly. By my figuring (and I spent hours on this, working it out to be as far as possible...) $32 should get you about 16 decks shipped to Canada. USPS is still the most economical by far but I expect this to hit small business pretty hard, which stinks.

Methinks someone at T11 was told "Oh crap, the rates are going way up! Figure it out in the next 5 min!" and didn't work through the variables very well.

The USPS has been running in the red to the tune of billions. They say it is because of email etc. but really Congress raids the postal "bank" to cover debts, bombs, aircraft carriers and prostitutes for those late night capitol hill parties. We are getting sick of paying for it, it is time you guys buy us a few bombs. If we go back to carpet bombing we could save a lot of money but nooooo, the international community forbids it :( :( :(

Didn't Andrei swear that T11 doesn't make a profit from shipping and that they just charge actual cost?

Yes I did, and we do not make a penny off shipping. I just showed the shipping rate to Jonathan to have his input, that is pretty insane (if that's international then I don't know how bad it is, since I'm not familiar with international shipping rates but domestic would definitely be crazy). Looking into it.

As per the decks, I love them. Very cool to see playing cards move into mainstream culture with new artists. That means more exposure for us which is always a good thing for the art. Sure, it's feminine, and not something everyone would use, but then again, there are plenty of other choices for that. These make for awesome gifts though for people outside our community. I know what I'm getting my girlfriend for Valentines ha! 8-)
