Hey everyone!

As a heads up, the Kickstarter project will launch at NOON today! (EDT) As always, because I am a collector first, there will be a limited number of early backers that can get any number of decks for only $5 each. I believe the Americana $5 slots were filled up within a day, so get on it while you can!

Just a couple notes:
1. There are a few special rewards that are limited to one person, they are fun and unique for sure!
2. Uncut sheets are priced to move, they won't last long for sure.
3. I have easy to attain 'stretch goals' with free upgrades that collectors want.

This sounds like it's going to be a really cool, successful kickstarter campaign. I'm looking forward to it!

Less than 50 spots remain for the $5 level, act quick!

I got 3 via the $5 slot I really liked the fact that its $5 per deck and you can get as many as you want. If I end up having more money when its closer I can increase my pledge and get a few more.

I went ahead and grabbed 4 decks as well. Thanks Russell for the early bird special!

grab the $5 spot but haven't decided how many to purchase

This won't take long to get funded. Awesome deck. Awesome company. Awesome campaign.

We're already 50% there! - I've pledge $41 for my uncut and deck. I can't wait to see this get funded. I really hope the deck will get at lease 200% funded, which I see entirely possible. : D

Evan · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2012, 09:52:21 PM »

Already at $9,403! These are going to be funded within the first 24 hours!
This deck is going to go far.

CBJ · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2012, 10:21:21 PM »

Funded in 10 hours 22 mins!!!

Congrats Russell

I'm still in shock!

I'm an old man and it's past my bedtime, I'll have more news tomorrow.

Thanks everyone!

Evan · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2012, 10:28:28 PM »

Congrats Russell!
I'm glad I can say that I helped it happen!

Noobmachine · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2012, 10:33:32 PM »

CONGRATS!!! I missed out on the $5 deal, but I just pledged for my uncut and 6 decks, can't wait for them to arrive! I think I may have been the pledge to get it to $10000, I put my pledge in at $9940

Feels cool to have helped out with the making of this deck!

hazofhorsham · « **Reply #15 on:** August 21, 2012, 11:16:01 AM »

Congrats. Must be the fastest playing card project?

Paul Carpenter · « **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2012, 02:08:48 PM »

I'm not surprised by the speed. It's well deserved, and Russell is a well-known and previously successful card producer and had a very reasonable goal, so I would have been surprised if he didn't fund it quickly. Once you make something people like and show some respect to those that helped make your dream come true, it will naturally get easier the next time around.

(If I can be honest, at least, I sure hope that's the case...)

Congratulations Russell! I can't wait to see this deck get the additional touches you mentioned. By the way, can you give a rough estimated (number-wise) about how many decks you are going to release post-Kickstarter?

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2012, 10:07:55 PM »

Post Kickstarter decks will be VERY small quantity, just a few hundred.

Remember though, the decks sold on Kickstarter will be the only ones with foil, embossing, and the special deck seal. The decks sold afterwards will be in standard tucks.

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2012, 02:54:16 PM »

Congrats! We've now reached 150%, and it now has silver foil on it! Nice job Russel!

cosmicsecret · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2012, 04:33:41 PM »

I just pledged for 2 decks :-)
Its not a deck i would use in flourishes or magic but its a nice deck for my collection

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2012, 07:47:25 PM »

In my opinion, I like the blue seal over the green one.

Russell, a few more questions:

1) If When we reach 250%, will the custom brick boxes me limited to Kickstarter backers only?

2) What rewards do you have in mind if we surpass 300%? - I would love posters to give out, just like the Revision1 deck!

Noobmachine · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2012, 10:06:08 PM »

Managed to snag an uncut and half a brick, I'm glad that this deck is already turning out to be one of the mot successful decks on kickstarter!! I personally think that the green seal is pretty unique and nice, but looks like majority wants the blue

I agree with you. This was a tough choice. The blue seal is nice because it matches and blends with the box perfectly. On the other hand the green seal sticks out and is more noticeable. I like the green seal better in my opinion.

John B. · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2012, 04:23:17 AM »

I really hate the green one. it seems really cheesy and not right for this deck. the blue one was amazing though. and if it gets to/close to the brick boxes I am changing my pledge to a brick.
