The book is nice. The red seal is strange (colour). My horribly subjective opinion - blue one can be better.

Yeah, that's what I was think too. I am really excited to see the "prism" effect! 

Hi Jeff!
Thanks for joining us here and sharing with everyone.
The indices are the numbers and suits in the corners. Personally I like the overlapping letters, I think Don is saying that the K on the king is a little too close to centre.
As far as your budget goes plan for the unexpected, for example international packages require an extra $2 customs form to be filled in. Unless you have already planned for all that.

Anyway I REALLY love your art style! Well Done!

I think that any art on any deck is art. I think there are different degrees of "art" on decks. From the standard faces

 all the way to this,

This is Decked Out by Connie Lim

I think this deck by Eva Jo is just a bit too far in over the "Art" side for me.

But for me its any deck that is in that category, they just dont appeal to me.

I really do love art decks in general though, I find the "standard faces" just way to simple and lazy, especially in this exciting new world of deck variety. It is good to know there is a deck for everyone!

Noble (Special Edt.) Playing Cards-Relaunch

It kind of reminds me of this old deck release notice that "xela" last posted over a year ago...

Warning - you might wet your pants laughing... 

WOW that is really hilarious!

Update from Lonnie.
Tell your posters I love there comments. It has been a brutal disaster. I took my face off of most of the cards because the feedback was so bad!!! Novelty museums are where the card would go if it was successful. There's one here in Orlando. I do want to build a small museum here to feature collectors playing cards and where people can come and play. The movie is turning out pretty good. It is something out of this whole thing that I think will actually work. I don't spam, but the IP is a public library! My first kickstarter project I had no idea what I was doing! The movie is being made on green screen and computor graphics. I'm pretty hard to impress too, like you guys are, but it is coming along pretty good. It's a dark movie, pretty interesting so far. Lot's of work though!

Sounds like Lonnie would be an interesting addition here. Can you let Lonnie though the fort knox security set up of this forum Don?

I think it's great this campaign funded. While it's not for me, I wanted to like the decks I just don't, it happens. Tomas is clearly very passionate about the decks and I think that's a wonderful thing to have made a reality.

I applaud Tomas for his persistence, however if I had a deck and the KS failed I would change/improve something before thinking about a relaunch. It confused/frustrated me that the project went up so many times without a single obvious change been made. I am pretty sure someones definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Miraculously this has resulted in a different outcome. Happy for Tomas that his deck has finally got funding.

These look so awesome, I truly doubt I have the patience to achieve anything like this without the help of a lot of glue...

I doubt i have the patience to do something like this WITH GLUE. 

Ha, yeah that too!

The deck seems a bit bizarre, at least what little of it I can see here.  Is it safe to guess that the faces are all USPC standard?  They're trying to take what looks like a rather pedestrian deck and hype it up to be some big prize for being the fastest clicker on Black Friday.

Does anyone have an open deck of these so we can examine them more fully?

I can take a pass on this one, easily.

Into the valley of death i go...I'll go back to the shop and try sneak a few pictures sometime next week if we can't get any pictures out by then.

...for ye shall fear no evil...

No, PurpleIce don't do it, it's no worth it man, please someone stop him...someone post some images...please

Welcome Collector and thanks for the link!

Do I really need to write "off topic" every time I go "off topic"? Because I go "off topic" a lot, and if I have to type "off Topic" every time I go "off topic" well that could take a while... 

Congratulations! Yay for women in computing!

Wait what? 

Welcome Enkya, Thanks for joining us here ans sharing.
I LOVE that every card has been customized with your quirky and fun art style. Anyone who takes the time to design 56 individual cards always impresses me. I can see you have put quite a bit of work into the whole project. The book as the tuck box is a nice touch too. I was looking through your previous projects and I really like your art.
I have to agree that $20 is a lot for a MPC deck though. I hope you take PurpleIce's advice and add some early bird decks at a more reasonable price to help get your project going.
Thanks for taking the time to share with everyone here and I hope your project goes well!
