I think I'm going to start a kickstarter for the ultimate minimalist deck with white on white printing. LE black on black deck. That's exactly what I thought when I saw the backs for the two Limited Editions. Besides, the non-limited deck won't work for poker or anything else but the accompanying g...

From his perspective - if he leaves the original EB levels available and 50+50 there now move up to the Red or Blue EB he makes, then it allows 100 people who already pledged but weren't early to grab those original slots and costs him $3000, effectively negating the benefit of offering the new leve...

Yep, I am in for one, depending on how many you can get 2 would be sweet.

Well, I was close. Good on you, Pierre! And the deck IS 90% funded before I can get my second cup of coffee down, less than 10 hours: should be funded by noon at the latest. Congrats, Shane!

Well, crap. I was going to say I saw them on eBay today for $39.99, but they have $9.990shipping, so you come out 2¢ ahead. Jeez...

Get 'em while they're hot. There were 5, now 3.

LOL... I have one stinking VORTEX DECK, Walrus.

The "Core" deck comes to mind, but I didn't back it. Did anyone ever see those delivered other than by ebay? As far as worst campaigns, I think we're onto a new low with the "Vampire and Zombies Deck" from the guy with "The Vampyre Society". I'm sure everybody's in the ...

@sly: Question about the answer you gave for stretch goals: we're not going to be able to add $30 to get the red or blue threaded decks? I understand that they cost more, but it seems like those of us that got in on the ground level shouldn't have to give up our "Early Bird" slots and go ...

... "Everybody's got one"... I don't see how it's being intrusive when it's all public, IMO. *shrugs* Anyway, let's see if we're singing the same tune down the road when he no longer needs Kickstarter to sell his decks. I find that I agree with what Walrus had to say about this one or two...

These days it's also all too easy for people to defend him and not hold him up to the same scrutiny that we give to the big boys like D&D and Theory 11, just because he's the flavor of the week. True, it's his blood, sweat and tears that designed the cards, but we as supporters made it possible...

"Once you go black..."

Seriously, though - it seems to be in vogue right now - black boxes, that is.

These days it's all too easy for us to see (and "dun-dun-duhhhh") monitor what he's doing. I really don't think it's any of our business what he does with his decks. $175 vs $180 - I'll live. Not my place to judge, it's his blood, sweat and tears that made them. As far as the stretch goal ...

... His current Kickstarter rewards which are based upon his limited deck has kind of stagnated. Oh I'm sure, you will see a big pool of people in his A1 & D1 rewards, but he has no more high rewards. These people are just dying to jump up and upgrade their reward you just have to figure out ho...

I assume you meant "have no play"? Why not? What am I missing here? If everybody else is getting $45-$50 per deck, why should he get less or take less?

What's the difference between decks you created and cash? Either way you made the money.

Damn, I touched a nerve. I'll be happy to pay for the value I get, and these cards were fetching $38+ in sets of all four varieties if you were lucky. I doubt seriously if that price will be seen again. $45 in his pocket makes me happier than tossing $200+ on eBay. Simple economics, why would I expe...

9 out of 10 (99%?) of the time after a Kickstarter project the artist has his hands full and money invested he'd like to get out, which is why resellers are used to getting them at a bulk rate. How many decks sold to KS backers are now available cheaper from them? Quite often. In this case, Jackson ...

I also don't get Jackson's contempt for resellers. Buying in bulk and then selling at a profit is not an unusual business practice. There's a fine line between contempt and disdain for "eating my lunch". In Jackson's case, he's already got the logistics down for handling distribution hims...

Speaking specifically about the "A" vs "B" choice for how the Limited Edition went, I wish there had been a "C" instead of the two available choices. Sure, I want to see the project succeed - it already has, and I certainly want there to be 1000 decks of the original LE...

Nice call guys, the LE deck and coins are already set. And I am super excited about the LE deck, it's pretty special. More on that soon I'm "All In"! Are we getting close, Rick? I know I signed up for a shot across the bow before you post on KS, but - ready to "put my money where my ...

Supply and Demand - Before my site went live I had a very limited number of decks left only because on the first project I didn't have the capital and was scared to death to spend any money so I only bought just enough decks to fulfill the KS order and then a little left over. ... Sure there have b...

Brillig I guess it's you and me backing right now unless you are not one of the two hehe I guess we were #1 and 2. Yep, I was 3rd or 4th. I've noticed that beyond a certain point KS doesn't seem to bother to keep that in order - or is it moving you when you change your pledge, maybe? @Sly: Question...

I'm in at the "Early Bird" with metal case.

Well, you can't fault Jackson for doing what the market allows. They were going for around $60-$70 per deck on eBay until they showed up for $50 several places. Now the guys on eBay have adjusted. I think they will go back up when he runs out. I did see them on GGS for $49.95 I think it was. Actuall...

I agree. (almost) unfortunately - I kind of like the deck. Oh, well. "one of each"...

Good one, Walrus. RatMan agrees.

I'd prefer A1. Your mileage may vary...

No sign of the deck yet on Club 808, but there is the uncut with the name "Amber Stag" for $9.99 http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae240/1rideout/139823-z_zps2dcf1ea6.jpg http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae240/1rideout/139823_1-z_zps86c77bac.jpg CBJ Interesting. I ordered one of the un...

Eoghan nailed it. With Fed 52 Part Deux, the LE decks started out as just a different tuck but eventually got their own backs, it's quite possible that this will go along the same lines. Though, it's also possible that it won't, in which case it becomes a very big chip when getting a trade sorted. ...

Damn! Kicktraq shows at the current rate it would make $1.3 million. Not bad!
