Despite the short deadline, they're already at $4.4K of $10K with 112 backers. I guess when you charge $25 a pack, you only need to sell 400 to hit the goal - on a print run of 800 decks and 50 uncuts.
It was actually a print run of 5000 (through USPCC... I believe). They gave out almost 3,000 at the How Live Design Conference. This should leave them with over 1,000 leftover after this "funding"
Hey there, BB - it's been a while! Missed having you around here.
It just seems so silly to use "crowdfunding" to pay for it after the fact - in retail, that's what we call "selling"...
It's been a while indeed. School got so demanding I only had time to pop in occasionally to see the new deck releases. I completely agree, it seems ridiculous. I understand doing this for the first few decks reduces turn around but it defeats the purpose of crowd funding as you said. I honestly prefer the KS method to DeckStarter. It's a shame too because I'm a huge fan of Aaron Draplin's work and The Dieline.
