We are open to all of those things but do not want to make things more complicated than need be.
Let's try to get those forum members ordering now to post when things arrive so that we have an idea of postal times directly from Taipei.

We are really pleased to announce that Uusi launched their latest kickstarter this morning and it is moving like lightning. In just a couple of hours it's $30k goal is nearly reached!
Check it out http://kck.st/1DvhzeR

This deck is really amazing and if I can weigh in, don't worry about the costs yet. Make the best deck possible.
And since you are printing with Expert I can tell you that the extra color won't really cost you any more.
I probably shouldn't get a vote but #1 is my favorite and #2 seems perfect for Sombra.

And just in case anyone has any money left...
Conjuring Arts is offering some more discounts now through tomorrow noon EST.

I figured out the glitch and it's fixed.

You need to go to the more details page and choose the Shipping pull down choice of Anywhere in the USA.
Then it will work.

Anyone who got caught on this let me know and we will find a Prototype deck for you.

SORRY!

The deck isn't added to your cart but the first 144 orders will get a deck added to their shipment.
Good point that this isn't clear though and I'll fix it.

We nominate the Aquila Limited edition deck by Kardify, Ade Suryana and produced by Lawrence Sullivan of Legends PCC. I know it hasn't been seen yet but it is far and away the finest production values for a tuck yet released by anyone, anywhere.

I bought a brick of them and I can't wait to get them! I'm usually very happy with Conjuring Arts and EPCC but I just don't know about this double tuckbox. .. Crying babies like me would probably complain about the lack of practicality I can appreciate the fact that it's different but what are your thoughts on this, Bill?

I agree that the double tuck will be a bit less practical for some. I loved the idea and couldn't resist but I can see that it won't be something every magician will want to use all the time. Alternatively, I think the make of the Classic Black tuck (with synthetic stock) will be really pleasing for magicians because I really think it will never wear out.
I bet a clever guy like you will find an amazing effect using two decks and then the twinbox will be a godsend!

Classic Twins and Classic Black on sale now

Hi Everyone,
In case anyone didn't get the email, Conjuring Arts is presently offering a great introductory offer on bricks of EPCC Classic Twins with a free Classic Black deck thrown in for good measure. This package will cost over $83 when the offer expires but for 48 hours you can get this bundle for $54.99 postpaid in the U.S. (add $19.99 for everywhere else).
We are really excited to launch our new Classic Finish and Classic Faces. Lawrence Sullivan at Legends discovered the Classic Finish a year ago and used it on Sharps and we think it's going to be extremely popular with magicians and anyone who handles cards a lot.
We also are introducing our new synthetic stock for tuck cases. This has long been a goal of ours and it will save many a table worker from disaster when inadvertently setting their deck in water on a table. The limited edition Classic Black deck (free with the bundle or available separately for $14.95 plus shipping) has it's tuck made with this synthetic paper.

Custom Decks
As many of you already know, Expert PCC produces cards for Conjuring Arts to sell as well as custom printing for other customers. In an effort to make it easier to manage custom projects we have published a questionnaire on our ExpertPlayingCard.com website. Just got to http://expertplayingcard.com/home/custom/custom-questionnaire/ and fill it out and we can get right back with a general quote etc.

Here is a little early info for forum dwellers.

As many will already know from this thread and elsewhere, Expert Playing Card has been working on a new red Zen deck. This is the deck with the detailed retro back design and sideways embossed and foiled tuck. In our efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of fine deck production we have done some experimenting with the deck's coating chemistry. Becuase the red Zen and Zen Pure are experimental prototypes these decks will not be for sale, ever. Instead we are going to give them away starting this afternoon!
For each mixed brick of NOCs you buy from Conjuring Arts you will get one experimental prototype Zen deck. I hope this will please both NOC lovers and deck collectors.
Please keep an eye out for the announcement today.

Thanks Don! You are a great cheerleader for us and we truly appreciate it.

I should probably apologize but we have been unable to resist the temptation to post some images of a short series we are releasing in the near future.

There will be 2 decks in it initially, Zen and Zen Pure.

The Zen deck is our redrawn version of an amazing old design by Samuel Murray of National Playing Card Co. from about 125 years ago. It's an art nouveau style back with our Exquisite faces. We used our sideways tuck made of solid red premium stock with black foil, foil over embossing and blind embossing.
We dubbed it Zen (Mr. Murray didn't) in an homage to one of our favorite books, Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. This great book explains the thought process behind world-class archery and this same technique can be transferred to high level sleight of hand.
We really love this design and how the cards perform. On the Zen we used the same stock and coating as Exquisite and Zenith.

Zen Pure could have been called Zen V2 but we though that wasn't an interesting name.
Zen Pure is the exact back design of Zen with all the extra details removed except the two outer lines and the faces. We used the same PMS color so that magicians might have some fun doing color changes where just some of the design disappears.
Believe it or not the whole design was spawned by just fooling around with Zen and only after it was finalized and printing did we realize how similar it was to other solid color with pendant back designs that already exist. It wasnt intentially derived from Wynn or Madisons or IMPS (which we hadn't seen when this was done) or any other deck. It was just a "pure" version of the Zen we had.

We will release the Zen first in the next couple of weeks and then later in the summer we will release the Zen Pure. I'm sorry that means that some customers will double up on postage but we don't think it wise to relase them at the same time. We printed a good supply and will not call them limited so if some collectors want to wait to order both they are probably safe in that. We can't guarantee that Zen won't sell out right  away, but, per our custom, we will reserve some for future variety boxes. That way the colletor who want's everything will have at least two bites at the apple.

I hope this explains things for everyone but if not I'll be happy to clarify anything fuzzy. For more images etc. we will post them form time to time and in various places. Probably our Instagram account ExpertPCC is the first place we will release images of our upcoming decks.
