  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

First project I've ever seen where every tier except the $1 "thank you" tier is an early bird!  Are there no more late birds in the world?

I'm curious if he bothered to contact the publishers for the rights to the book covers.  Many may still be under copyright.  Even if the publisher went out of business, some sold their IP to other companies.  I'd bet a fair percentage of them are owned by Marvel - thus owned by Disney by proxy.

I think the covers are great looking. I don't think they're suited for a deck of playing cards. Whatever the topic of the covers. They just don't mesh well. This wouldn't be for me even if I knew the basic details of printing and quantities, which I don't. It's not even on the radar for me.

I hope they consider a coffee table book, with cover reprints in them if they have the license to use them or they're originals what have you. That could be fun.
