Awesome project! Can't explain how excited I am about this project.
-
Interesting that USPC has authorized repros of a deck they believe they have rights to. My view, being fortunate to have the real thing, is that it will aid in the education of collectors and make the few originals around more desirable.
By the way, the current 52+J auction, which ends March 16th, has a nice Triplicate. See lot #30
ttp://www.52plusjoker.org/dnn/Auction/tabid/76/Default.aspx (http://ttp://www.52plusjoker.org/dnn/Auction/tabid/76/Default.aspx)
So join up and start bidding - would be great to have the original right beside the repro in your cabinet
-
I like the look of the deck wish there was a middle ground on the limited tuck that did not have the paper and stamps that might get it into my price range. I guess I will just add it to the list of Pierre's decks I wish I had :o.
-
hehe Scott I need help.. I was counting my decks this week looks like I broke 1000 a while back. I can't stop I buy everything new plus if you go see in the vintage section, I am buying old decks also. I am weak, I am indeed a cardaholic
-
I really like this deck. I like the Heritage series as well.
Gives me a chance to see and hold in person the historical decks I may never would have.
Bravo!

If my paycheck could handle it I would be there with you. I need to get my wife back to work, then my habit can run wild again.
-
I pledged :D
Nice way to get a vintage design into my collection without breaking the bank. Quite excited for the following planned restorations, too!
-
My oh my...these are quite lovely.
I'm not a big fan of the faces of the court cards, however...the Jack, Queen, and King look too tired.
-
These are VERY cool! Very few projects come along with the purpose of rebooting an old style with this much attention!
-
Paper Wrapped. :P :karrit:
Price. :(
Still jumped in on one LE though. :)

They've done this in the past - one example that comes to mind is the Bicycle All-Wheel. They accidentally titled it "All-Wheel No. 2" because it was the second deck listed in Mrs. Robinson's book! Straight-up reproduction, ordered by a third party, sold with serial-numbered seals in a run of 2,500 decks. New Fan Backs by both Dan & Dave and Zenneth Kok, Steamboats, etc. - lots of them out there. Did I miss something in what you were saying regarding "a deck they believe they have rights to?"
BTW: I'm really liking that card back.

I was wondering where the No.2 came from! LOL

I *love* the long flap. But you're right, every court looks terribly, terribly sad. And that poor one-eyed Jack. I feel his pain.
:-)

What I was thinking if they are sure of the rights why not do it themselves - like Big Gun?

While the price is a bit steep for a deck or two, it is, as mentioned by others, a great way to have a touch of vintage/history in your collection. This is going to be one of those, do you open or not decks, the appreciation of this desk is most definitely in the tuck and it's contents.........now be careful pealing away the wrapper ;)
-
This looks like a lovely reproduction of the Triplicate deck but as a collector of original cards I generally find that the quality is not nearly as good as the original. That being said, it is nice to be able to have a new example of an early deck, (originally published as a method of using corner indicies), along side new issues.
However it becomes tricky when these decks start to appear for sale and a few people are unscrupulous in their descriptions. We try to describe all reproductions in "Clear the Decks" hoping no one gets burned - I do like the clear description of this on the very cool wrapper!
Good luck with this project...
-
Backed too, as soon as I got the email. I sent Michael an email about possibly getting more than one limited deck added, unfortunately, he's only only allowing one per backer.
-
I'm not sure how I missed this...
These are made by the people that did all those 8-bit decks.
-
And they have plans to do like 3 more reprints later.

Jay all of the 8 bit decks were done by Cobey Pile. These guys did a few 8 bit card games

Michael Scott was part of the traditional 8-bits, but Homerun Games as a whole produced the decks as a company.
EDIT: good news, you can now pledge for 2 limited decks and 2 standard decks. Just pledge for the $70 tier.
-
Yes go pledge for 2 limited decks while you can. This way Nurul the thread got a bump
-
I'm in for the 2+2, and will probably add a few more decks and an uncut later on. Very nice work reproducing these!
-
Also pledged for 2 LE... I was hoping he'd allow us to do that eventually :)
-
Changed mine to 2+2. I had emailed him Friday night to say most of us collectors want 2 of each. I told him it would sell faster than the 1+1, and I was right- 37 doubles left. and 53 singles.
Did any of you catch his comment about a blue deck-possible stretch goal?

Because the Big Gun wasn't exactly a huge success for the company! It went from an MSRP of $39.95 a pair to $0.99 a pack on the clearance page.
In the shoes of a USPC executive, I'd be thinking it's far better to let some third party pay up front to reprint the deck rather than publishing it for themselves and risking a poor market response. Plus they probably make a lot of easy, no-risk money this way, because it doesn't cost them anywhere near as much to make a deck as what they charge per deck to custom deck designers! Once the contract is paid for and the cards are printed, USPC need not think twice about whether the deck succeeds or fails - they got their cash, it's not their problem. This is using short-term thinking, of course, since that's what all too many companies use when it comes to the bottom line, rather than considering the possible damage to the brand name. Even an unbranded deck usually says "USPC" on it somewhere.

This is the main reason why i'm not fond of reproductions. But yet again, it is good for new collectors to get hold of a vintage deck and have an idea of how decks and tucks use to look like in the past.
However, just a little worried about the creator, or at least the company behind this deck. I still have 2 KS projects from them that i have not received since last year. I know some people have, so possibly just a delay for some international customers?

I loked over his projects, at least the three that were funded. He's stating they were shipped, so you'd be wise to get in touch with him and make some inquiries.

This is also why I don't buy reproductions but I made an exemption for this one because the paper wrap clearly states that it is a reproduction. I might change my mind though.

I've upped to the 3+3, glad that he listened to our "More LE decks per backer" whining (Yes, I was right in with my whine as well!) and added on!
-
Hey all,
I'm new to the forum but grateful for all the support for the deck. I just wanted to jump on and tell you, you are all great!
-
I saw you got a mention in the Kickstarter email, congrats!
-
Received a brick from Michael at Home run games. I thought I would post some pics for you guys. I'm just a poker player fellas, not a photographer. Sorry for the bad light reflection. I love these decks though, they're very well done and feel great to my hands.

I'll post a couple photos of the limited editions when they arrive, they're a little behind due to the hand wrapping nature of the archival paper.
-
I also just realized I put that post in the wrong place. Sorry about that.

I hope you have more for sale somewhere - I really regretted missing this project!

Played my first game with these last night. Large game with two groups so we used one of each deck. The second edition feel like they're also from Bee stock to me and others commented on it as well. I was impressed with how well they went over with the groups. Indices being replaced with little versions of the card I thought would wreak havoc, not so much at all. While they didn't impact the play of the game at all, they did impact the chatter of the game. Lots of gambler and gunslinger stories. Was a good time. :)
