Bicycle Perspective Deck (Club 808)

[vasta41]

New deck for the 808 club:

Perspective is an upcoming 808-exclusive deck set for release this November. Check out a mock-up of the tuck above! When finished, the tuck will be on a matte stock with foil and emboss. The cards are fully custom and all play with the concept of how perspective influences the way we see design in relation to playing cards.

This sounds like it has a lot of potential. And I definitely think the USPCC is stepping their game up due to the high quality of other decks running through their factory. Sweet tuck, all custom cards, foil- this deck seems to have it all!

Sounds like a comeback to MPC's Impressions.

The Nightshade deck is very good, especially the tuck. This comes off strange but we'll see. People weren't fans of the all black tucks like Espionage.

[vasta41]

@yashi: I think it has more of a Seasons vibe to it. In the sense that it seems like there will be more than one (hence "deck set") to display next to each other with a continuing design.

@bikefanatic: I wasn't a fan of the all black tuck either. But I'm hopeful for this one because at least they mention using foil. Hopefully that breaks up the monotony.

I'm also not a fan of the black tucks where you can barely make out the text.

Also, I'm not happy that a Club808 deck doesn't have the big Bicycle logo on it.

USPCC has officially hit a new low, who the heck approves these projects ?! 100 years later, they are going to look back and really shake their heads..

Totally agree. This looks like something that weird kid who sat behind me in high school math class doodled on his notebooks.

[vasta41]

I gotta say I'm a little let down, too. I liked the tuck but if the whole deck looks like that (which it seems to), that's pretty lackluster.

[Strag]

Wow, this looks like a bad KS deck which wouldn't get funded. Probably the first of the 808 decks I won't be getting.

I've got to admit that this is the worst thing that I have seen from Club 808 - maybe even from USPCC period. Somebody might buy them, but it won't be me, nor many of us from the comments so far.

I've noticed lately, with the exception of the metal deck, Bicycle branding is not doing much to get decks funded on KS.

[Cbkimble]

It's a pretty bad minimal deck.

It's definitely the worst design I've seen, of late, coming out of USPCC. But I'll still buy at least one deck to have a complete 808 collection. I won't spend full price on them though, will wait for the Black Friday sale.

Finally, a deck for first year architect students!

Already been done

Alas, Adam Clarkson. I miss the days he put together good designs for playing cards. Back before he took my money and gave me nothing back in return.

Sigh.

Wow! This is a very bad deck design. Jackson needs to go over to the USPCC and thump them on the head. They do want ppl to join this 808 club thing right?

[Yashi]

Such a dark uncut.

What's worse is they still want $20 for one. DK if I'll even get one during Black Friday sale

[ashe]

People who get this must have a different perspective

I don't even see why anyone would want this one. It looks like somebody (without a clue) tossed a half-baked design onto a deck of pasteboards and in this case, maybe it should be "pastebored"? A new low for Club 808. Just fugly.

[vasta41]

The thing that kills me the most is that this would be a bad design no mater who made it- merz, GW, ANYONE. But you'd think that the USPCC themselves, having seen so many beautifuly designed decks come through their shop, would have higher standards! They see what's being made, they know how high they bar is nowadays. Why wouldn't they know to make a better deck? I'm curious to know the answer for real because I'm almost insulted by this.

[jerichoholic]

Probably because its something different and unique and they want to see how it does. It's a different "perspective" on playing cards
