I'm starting to see a trend among D&D:

1) Release the Uncut Sheet the Same Day with the Decks

2) Hand Out Decks accompanying each Uncut Sheet Sold

From what I can remember, both of these techniques were first used by D&D solely for the purpose of bringing in more dough. Not that I'm hating of it in any way,shape,size, or form.

Getting a free deck with an uncut is never a bad thing. I'd love to see the idea spread to other designers.

Do you mean the card next to the signed card?
I can't see anything.

I really hope theres an uncut sheet left when I have the money for it. I love this deck and would really like to frame it on my wall

I took a look - I don't see any QR code anywhere. Can you get a zoom on the pic?

Doing an uncut with an included deck is a great idea and makes for a very attractive package. Compared to the normal uncut cost and the (high) cost of the Chinatown deck, that's actually a great deal.

this picture the second deck on the card looks like its covering the codetilt your screen so it lighter and in the shadow you can see somthing

My friend, and I mean this in the best possible way, but - you are seeing things! I don't see anything looking like a QR code. I see the printer's color marks at the sheet's edge, that's it.

haha not the edge of the sheet the shadow of the box on the right make your screen lighter and from the edge of the left side of the box the corner of a qr code

i lightend it and put an arow in photoshop to show you

Don Boyer · « **Reply #14 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:13:28 AM »

OK, now THAT is a QR code...

Could be a link to their website or something. I wouldn't read much into it. It's definitely on an ad card.

Evan · « **Reply #15 on:** January 24, 2012, 02:52:42 PM »

That QR code "will unlock..something at some point"
Thats what Brad Fulton said

hmmm... I wasn't going to pick up an uncut, but that might make it worth it.

Or you can just get the deck

The same code is in the deck

dmbaggs · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:46:37 PM »

Really? It looked like it was on the white part of the uncut that would be cut away on the actual deck. Granted it's hard to tell from that picture.

Evan · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:50:40 PM »

This is what Brad Fulton tweeted, "Secret fact about the CHINATOWN DECK..it includes a QR Coded Card that will unlock..something at some point."

Oh thanks for clearing that up. I don't follow brad on twitter, so I wouldn't have seen that. If what it unlocks is worth while I think that makes the price more reasonable, but I guess we won't know that until we find out what that "unlockable" is. I think I'll end up getting two... maybe three of this deck now.

Thanks a lot for the pics.
I finally saw that.
Hmmm, they obviously used the idea of the tungsten deck here.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2012, 02:17:50 AM »

I'm betting it'll lead to sneak peek photos of the THIRD Fulton's deck, when they're ready to release it...

dmbaggs · « **Reply #23 on:** January 25, 2012, 02:20:32 AM »

That it could be!

I think that we will see more QR codes used in decks and whatnot. Whether it be on the bottom of the box or on a card. The QR code as blown up in advertising and is spreading into other areas. I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see it a little more in decks/other magic products.

The more smartphones that end up in people's hands, the more QR codes you're going to see. Interesting fact: they're designed with redundant information storage - a code can be significantly damaged and still be readable.
