First off let me just say how helpful this place is for newbies. I have been noticing that many card projects on KS have been doing stretch goals for items like deck seals and cellophane wrap Ect. I was wondering how much is to much to ask for in a stretch goal as these projects are asking $5,000.00 more and to add the deck seals is for a 2500 print deck is around $250.00 so $5,000.00 seams a bit high but if it helps to balance your expenses it could be a good thing. What do you guys think?

Sorry that time the picture uploaded Thanks

Hello again I have been trying to work on my font and have a photo. Tried to make the font more consistent what do you think. Appreciate your feedback so much still a lot of work left to do but enjoying it very much. http://skynerdstudios.deviantart.com/art/Playing-Card-Indices-420254750?ga_submit_new=10%253A1387235817&ga_type=edit&ga_changes=1&ga_recent=1

To follow the theme of the deck and to keep it cohesive I chose to have 2 pips on the aces.

Hello again been working to make some changes. I have changed up the aces added a pip to the king queen jack changed my 5's and 7's here are some new images. Thank you so much Landry

Hello Landry here and I have spent the last few months reworking my deck of Bicycle playing cards that I had on Kickstarter. I thought that I would show off what I have and see what you think of them so far. I think it would be cool to have a white and black deck the black deck would be only if reaching a set goal is met. The name I came up with is Unique Designs. The concept is the same as the first deck but I changed some of the designs and cleaned up the artwork. I added the burned edge look and was very happy with how it turned out had to try different things to get the right look. I redrew the back design on the cards and changed it up some and I like it better than the original design. I have finished about half of the cards and I would like to know what you think of the pips and the layout, is there something you think needs some work. Thanks Landry

In reply to why a high goal I am new to kickstarter. I got a quote from the USPCC and I added the shipping cost and the cost of rewards but I was not sure how many decks and rewards would get backed so I just chose to take about half of the 2500 and figure the shipping for that amount and also I wanted to make sure that I had the funds to cover kickstarters 5% and amazons 3% for credit card fees. So I came up with 17000 but if I have to relaunch my project I will work on my cards to make them better and I will bring the goal down and offer less rewards. Kickstarter said to offer rewards that people might be interested in and other cardists offered posters and prints an T-shirts so I thought that they would be good rewards. Thanks again for your feedback.

I appreciate your feedback when I said that I need to rethink my strategy I meant to try to get my goal down and eliminate some rewards. Also I am not thinking about money but When I costed out everything I came up with 17000 so If I am to fix my project I need to eliminate some of my cost to get the goal down. Thanks Again as I am new to this.

I noticed that my puzzle puzzled you . It does show at the $40.00 level. Thanks

Yes I have done The math and 17000 is where I need to be I wanted to be at a lower goal but I wanted to offer some rewards people would enjoy but if by chance I don't make it I will change my strategy and try again.

Hello my name is Landry I am the creator of mirrored by design playing cards and it is my first project on kickstarter always wanted to design a deck of cards I will only be printing about 2,500 decks but I could print 5,000 if I can afford to do so most of my 17000 is for shipping and rewards I think that it is a worthwhile deck as all the work on it is complete as some decks I have seen the artwork is incomplete until they find out if the will get support. I understand that some are not into abstract and some are that's great If you enjoy cards get the ones you will like. Glad I found this site and thanks for any advice I have done a lot of homework on cards but you will always learn something new.
