The design on the back reminds me of Jackson Robinson's "Arrow" deck...

I should know as they had an opened deck. But the guy was trying to hard sell so badly that i didnt even dare touch it. He was literally breathing down my neck trying to get me to hold the deck.
I might risk my life and go there again....or we could always get someone to post some pics.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Bicycle Architecture
« on: November 21, 2014, 06:25:42 AM »One would think that "Architecture" would be different types than just the pagoda on the card shown, but then the Oriental design theme on the tuck may indicate otherwise. I understand that's the theme of their background but at fist glance, all that I think is "Hey, it's a pagoda deck". Waiting to see more...Yeah, I just noticed that. Maybe they should rename it to Asian Architecture.
This deck is already out in the market. I already saw a USPC Supplier in Singapore selling this deck.Are the faces standard? I wonder...
But he was selling at about $15usd....so i was like...nope. Hopefully Club 808 will release them through their website.

When I read "Perspective Deck" I imagined some sort of intriguing optical illusion type of deck art. Indeed this is hard to read and not what I hoped for...

3. Scarlett is two and she thinks all of my decks are just another opportunity for her to practice her ripping skills.
4. The Arrow deck will return next year for sure. It will have a standard edition and a LTD edition.
Yay, Arrow deck will return.
Thanks for answering my questions Jackson!

« on: November 16, 2014, 08:34:16 AM »
While I thought I would only need the colorful deck I think the greyscale deck reflects the tuck box and includes pops of red really well, I think I would like both decks now...
I had no idea what the shipping discussion was about, as international means always added shipping. I think many US backers prefer to have all the price incorporated into the reward.
Sorry I went off on a tangent. The decks are awesome.

It reminds me of how I felt when I saw a major pizza chain offer all kinds of discounts for ordering online - then charged a $2.50 delivery free while all the mom-and-pop pizza joints deliver for free. OK, it's a terrible analogy, but I'm talking about a feeling more than an event - seeing that there was a catch behind the pricing, a change from the expected norm, and how that left me feeling.I understand that analogy...you see $4.95 Large pizza. Then you read the fine print, only available on Tuesday, before 5pm, within 2km radius of our store, only when the moon is full, only when the birds fly south, and other such conditions. Then you realize the pizza can never cost $4.95 EVER.
Sorry I went off on a tangent. The decks are awesome.

Hi Jackson,
Congratulations on your deck!
Also I have 4 questions.
1. I noticed you "will be teaming up with JP Playing Cards to fulfill all of my UK and EU rewards." Is there some reason that your KW fulfillment is unable to do this?
2. What are your plans for the remainder of the printed decks?
3. What does your daughter Scarlett think of the deck?
4. What are your plans for the Arrow deck? If any?
Thanks!

GOOD: Customized each card in the deck. Great resource on fish. Good style. Great box.
BAD: Is the K font completely different to the A? I am not into fishing.
Not bad, cod do batter. If you can think of a better fish pun, let minnow.

I am absolutely appalled at the lack of puns in response to this deck. Really, people! It's called "Fishing for Compliments," and nobody else has noted that this deck as a lure?
Sheesh!

Okay, so the other day I was replying to an email. By the time I had finished 3 more had entered my inbox. I have no doubt that KW are 100 times more popular than I am so I get it if they are too busy.
I can only comment on my experience and that is, there was no reply to my email.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Fulfillment Companies for Playing Card Decks and Uncut Sheets
« on: November 12, 2014, 09:57:23 PM »1. To begin with KWP never answered my emails requesting fulfillment. Ever. Not great at all.
I don't want to make excuses for KWP not emailing. It seems to me Jackson is able to pick and choose who he wants to work with and provide fulfillment services for. I get that. I'm the same way in many aspects of my life. Jackson has always been nice enough to answer "most" of my questions regarding his projects both here and by email. I've put him on the hot seat at least once and he still answered me. When I bought a print, I was very happy with the quality of tube he sent it in. I think he does a really nice job. As we know, he's not the only game in town. He might be doing you a favor by not replying.
It sounds like I am not worthy of a "I am too busy" reply?
I spoke to Jackson and he can protect a maximum of 10 decks in a tube. So, if you have an uncut tier on Kickstarter you can load 10 decks. I think the quality of his shipping products is U-Line....Why would you put decks in a tube???

Option A. For sure. PLEASE.
I can't stand limited runs of anything, I have to wake at at 4:50am EST or something insane just to get a deck. So I usually never bother at all.
Gilded Versions sounds awesome!!!
I am not usually a fan of "standard faces" decks but the Tuck Box looks good enough to make an exception.

I will comment on 3.
1. To begin with KWP never answered my emails requesting fulfillment. Ever. Not great at all.
2. Gamblers Warehouse (from a customer point of view) has immaculate standards. Their decks come bubble wrapped in boxes, bubble wrapped and in a bubble mailer. Then bubble wrapped again. Maybe not that many times but they have the BEST packaging I have ever had the delight of opening. They completely understand playing cards. Highly recommend.
Only bad thing was when I asked for pricing the table was confusing.
3. EFulfillment is the one I am planning on shipping with soon. They have amazing customer service skills and answered EVERY single one of my questions, almost immediately. Including "How was your weekend?" They actually really care. There is no storage fees as they a they assure me all will be shipped the day they come in. They have really good rates and will ship with USPS or EFS or any other method. They customize the fulfillment based on the persons needs. This does mean that tubes (for un-cut sheets) and other special packaging needs to be provided, but this is the only downside I have encountered. I have not shipped my decks yet, but so far I would recommend them.
