Infinity Edition Galaxy Cards (http://kck.st/1akVi3d)
Project by AlieN InK
$88 goal, 7th created, $20 for the first LE deck, and $15 for add ons, 8 day funding, at $1.837 after 9 hrs
Since this project's ∞Infinity Edition∞ contains design pieces of the 3rd Edition, we will not be showing any images of the ∞Infinity Edition∞ deck on Kickstarter. This is a secret design and is a very limited print.
When will you know what this deck looks like? When you open it. Sounds exhilarating doesn't it?
∞Breaking New Ground∞
Alien Ink has been there first in many ways on KS:
∞ 1st to print a deck with pips based on objects other than the standard set. (Planets, Flowers etc)
∞ 1st to offer full function Mini decks with full color tucks and cardistry finish
∞ 1st to offer Plastic Decks as add-ons to a paper deck
∞ 1st to offer decks signed in UV ink
This project is no different.
This will be the first successful Kickstarter deck with no images shown.

They did $4,812 on their last project that lasted 30 days :-\

There's something seriously wrong with this company. Buyer beware.

Yeah, we've had a number of encounters with this guy before. He switched to off-brand printing when he could never raise enough funds for a USPC print run. He's also had dissatisfied customers before, complaining he never delivered.
Let's take his claims one at a time, shall we?
∞ 1st to print a deck with pips based on objects other than the standard set. (Planets, Flowers etc)
To which I say, "This guy has no clue about playing card history whatsoever." Plenty of decks, some dating hundreds of years, have used "non-standard" pip sets. Now if he claimed he was the ten thousandth, perhaps...
∞ 1st to offer full function Mini decks with full color tucks and cardistry finish
OK, so what? Cardistry for infants? A waste of paper, really...and what, exactly, is a cardistry finish?
∞ 1st to offer Plastic Decks as add-ons to a paper deck
...because most magicians, cardists and collectors don't bother with plastic decks, so no one's been foolish enough to offer it...
∞ 1st to offer decks signed in UV ink
Is this guy's signature so bad that he had to hide it with UV ink? Seriously - get one of those "Spy Gear" pens and sign away, people! Maybe he's disinclined to be identified...
This will be the first successful Kickstarter deck with no images shown.
That might be true. It probably has a lot to do with it also being the only Kickstarter deck with a goal below US$100...
Simply put, this deck was mediocre in the first version - he ignored most of the advice people around here gave him to improve the design, making everyone wonder why he ever bothered to ask. The second version was worse. This is likely a continuing trend - and a stupid one, at that.

This is not a deck I will back but he does say "Alien Ink has been there first in many ways on KS" not "ever in the history of playing cards!".

Point taken. We have some history with this guy in this board, though. We have a hard time taking him seriously.

I'm sorry. I know I'm late to the party, but WHAT.
20 bucks for a deck you've never even SEEN?
"When will you know what this deck looks like? When you open it. Sounds exhilarating doesn't it?"
Who the hell would back this nightmare? Do we have anyone here who backed it? What was the creator smoking when he made this? Who the hell's printing it? How did he raise over 4 grand? Why was the goal $88? What did the update 5 days ago say?
Dear lord, so many questions.

I guess the old adage needs to be amended: "You can fool 155 of the people all of the time..."

Sheesh. Tell me about it. I pledged for Bicycle Asylum - beautiful art - but didn't go in for the Founders deck.
