+1 for Angel_magic  Excellent communication, great packaging, quick shipment. Nuff said. Thanks again!

52
Where did you get the Crayola deck?

I got mine on eBay, as Don suggested.

New stuff:

That explains why I couldn't find them on the website... Thanks for the info.

Playing Card Plethora / Cards in Advertising
« on: March 24, 2014, 09:08:33 PM »
I was at the store the other day and saw these bottles. It got me to wondering how often have playing cards been used in advertising?

I've seen plenty of decks that have a companie's name on that back of the card or on the tuck, but what about just a picture or drawing of a card/cards in the advert?

Thought this might be a fun topic to share what you've seen.

I wonder what my mailman thinks sometimes!

+1 for Don Boyer! Great transaction. Decks arrived quickly and in great shape.

Ha Ha for real ask for the refund then. But then you wouldn't own the "errored" version if and when I reprint the corrected one. :)

Wait... you didn't do that mistake on purpose did you?!

Nice! LOL! Now that is how you play the market!! I need the error and correct pair! 

I'm taking notes...

Edit: Because sometimes it's hard to detect... I'm kidding here.

I know Bad Robot, I mean the one on the top right corner that have white gold "Standard" tuckcase.

I believe they are the Card Kingdom cards:

I've been a little busy this month!  ;D

That one with the king on the bike. Are those a variation of standard bikes? I was wondering because they caught my eye and I am interested.

Don/CBJ covered it.

The Pokemon project takedown seems kind of mixed up. They mention there's an IP dispute, and when you click on the link:

https://www.kickstarter.com/dmca/the-pokedek-pokemon-themed-playing-cards-submitted-by-the-pokemo

At the very top, it says DMCA notice, but you actually see the form letter submission, which talks about copyrighted/infringed material. Nothing about digital anything.

I think KS is co-mingling terms.

I'm hopeful you do release the number of decks per person. Although 3 per person seems reasonable, it certainly does limit how many people will get a hold of this deck. I'm also hopeful I can pick some of these up when they release.

The few glimpses I've seen look very nice. I really like the side opening tuck.

65
I wonder how much of this is public domain vs. still copyrighted. I've read that some of the Sherlock Holmes story elements are now public domain.

I agree that the art is nice.

66
Your artwork is great! And the changes you've made are looking good. I'm definitely in for a few decks.

67
Cards have been found, no longer ISO.

Thanks!

Yeah they only ship to US so I have to pass, also a bit too much writing on the back.

I could always get a couple for you for a future trade if you like.

Actually, I'd be happy to do this for any discourse member in good standing :-)

Yeah, that threw me off - it's "Super Bowl", the championship game of the National Football League (NFL).  It's not actually the last game of the season, though - there's a game that comes a short while after that which is the final game, the All-Star Game.  The NFL is divided into two leagues, American and National.  The Superbowl is always held against a National League team and an American League team.  The All-Star Game, however, is played by the best players of all the National League teams versus the best players of all the American League teams.  Frequently, the team that loses the Super Bowl will be on the league that wins the All-Star Game - you could look at it like a sort of karmic balance...  :))  Some stockbrokers are actually rather superstitious about it - they noticed some correlation between overall market performance in the coming year and whether the Super Bowl winning team's league wins or loses the All-Star Game...  I forget the details about it, but back when I was a cold caller for a large brokerage (that no longer exists, thanks to its own hubris), they watched with great intensity to see which way the market's fortunes would go.

It's odd, the timing of it.  Baseball also has an All-Star Game that's played the same way, but it occurs in the middle of the season rather than after the championship.  It tends to get a lot more attention because of that - by the time the football All-Star Game is played, everyone is played out over football due to the Super Bowl being such a big-deal game to the fans.  At that point, the All-Star Game is like an afterthought.

A couple of quick corrections for the non-NFL crowd:
The NFL "All-Star" game is actually called the Pro Bowl. It used to be called the AFC-NFC Pro bowl, from it's inception in 1970 until 2013, because as Don mentioned above, the two leagues played their best players against each other. However, starting this year, they had a televised fantasy draft via two "celebrity" team captains 4 days before the game. I wonder how Wall Street handled this change!

Also, the game is no longer played after the Super Bowl, but I doubt that helped their ratings (Note, I have not looked it up!). Since 2010, they've played this game on the week in between the Conference championship games and the Super Bowl. I personally think that the reason this game doesn't do too well ratings wise is because it's not a normal game of pro football in that none of these guys want to get hurt in this game. It's kind of just for fun. I haven't watched it in years because of that.

Back to the deck talk. The art is nice. Looking forward to seeing more.

Tony,

I agree 100% with you about the KS decks, I also hope everyone hits the goals, and I will continue to support for as long as I can. I do fear the burnout coming before my deck is released  :D

Back on topic.. I do want these black cards! They look very sharp. I like the Pack Jacket as well.

73
How many did you pickup?  :)

I wonder if my Wal-Mart will also have this? I will def find out. Thanks!

74
I'll be supporting you with an early bird +...
