I heard awhile ago they hadn't planned on selling them....maybe that has since changed.

Here are a few photos from the final Whispering Imps™ decks.  I should be receiving a truck load of them in a week or so...

I'll be doing the same thing that Jackson has done with the Fed 52's shipping...showing the actual cost of shipping (which is required anyway for International orders). 

When you combine shipping materials and shipping costs...it's expensive..even domestically. I'm expecting to be hit hard with shipping costs when I start shipping out the Whispering Imps™ next month.   

I agree, I wouldn't want to pay more for shipping than the actual cost of product.  At first with my Kickstarter I did not offer one deck pledges for international orders because the cost of shipping one deck was more than the price of one deck.  Only after receiving many messages asking for one deck international orders did I add it as a pledge...1 deck w/ free international shipping for $20. 

I'm a big fan of uncut sheets, I think it's a must for any collector who has the option to purchase an uncut of their favorite deck.  It's a great way to see all the cards at a glance, and although they can be pricey to frame and do take up a lot of precious wall space...if done correctly they look stunning!

Some are rare depending on how many were are available and/or sold.  Not all decks have uncuts for sale.  The sheets you don't frame store very well in poster tubes.

I don't think anyone with nautical themed decks are using them in the water....some folks on UC had the same question though...why nautical and why octopus?  I have no idea but Kraken Rum uses an Octopus in their products (for obvious reasons). A similar Octopus was seen in the Stranger & Stranger Ultimate Deck released by Dan & Dave...S&S designed the packaging for Kraken Rum.

Here's some insight as to why this deck features a nautical theme with an octopus: http://www.himynameismark.com/pages/about

happy to announce the artwork for the Whispering Imps is 100% complete.  Just waiting for the proofs from the USPCC before going to print!

Thanks Curt for answering.  This was a rather short run for the Whispering Imps first edition, and they were primarily exclusive to those who backed the project.  There will be a short supply of Black Tuck and Red Tuck decks remaining that will be sold on my website (coming soon) but they won't be available until all orders for backers have been fulfilled and shipped (end of October). 

Second editions and additional products are in the works for the future. 

Good news, all the artwork is complete and about to be proofed by the USPCC.  Once I give the green light, it will take approx. 6-8 weeks for the cards to be printed and shipped to me for distribution.  For my first deck of playing cards, i've very pleased with the incredible support from members of this forum, the magic community and on Kickstarter.  Thank you.

I gotta say though, the thin boarders are incredibly consistent and near flawless.  Not sure how they were able to achieve it, but would love to know.

the cards are great after some breaking in, unfortunately the tuck box is cheap and boring. 

I had some really cool custom rubber stamps made to hand stamp on each package of Whispering Imps going out later this year after they are printed.  Thought I'd share with all of you. 

Also...just 3 days to go in the campaign: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seesquared/whispering-impstm-playing-cards




 

I agree, I don't think Gold would fit this deck so well.  I still feel pretty good about the red foil sticking out on the Red Vellum paper.  I also think the detail of the back embossing is going to look fantastic (if the stretch goal is met). 

Of the 683 backers so far I've only been contacted (either messages or comments) by about 5 or so people asking to see more Imps on the face cards.  I spent a lot of time early in the year trying to figure out if I should add them all over or keep the deck clean.  I ultimately wanted to preserve the overall integrity of the concept...adding Imps all over would have "themed it up" too much and made it look cheesy (in my opinion).  Additionally, this is not, and never was, intended to be an art deck.  There are many other beautifully designed art decks available on KS to back.  In the future I'd love to create an art deck around the Imps, but having a background in magic and being that the inspiration came from a magic poster it only seemed fitting to design the deck for functional and practical use...but remain aesthetically pleasing to the art community.

Oh yes @Collector, the Gaff ideas for this deck are endless...I could put one more in the deck if I remove a Joker (Imp) but I don't think that would please too many people.

thanks Alex.  I have a feeling you're right...once the orders are all organized...fulfilling them shouldn't be too much trouble in a few days. 

I'm working with the USPCC on a couple of unique options, we'll see if this crazy idea gets approved.  Also, stretch goals announced this week and the option to add individual decks to your order.
