I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

It's a nice art deck, though the art's not my preferred style.  Plus I wonder who's doing the printing.

I just received these. Pledged for 3 decks and a hand painted art print. I received 2 decks, a print and half a tuckbox  >:(

Also a little micro review - they're pants. The art is fine but the quality of the cards is poor, the packaging was poor and the print / tuckboxes are damaged (or destroyed in one case!) and although the seals are numbered out of 300, the wooden card inside is numbered out of 500.

That looks really bad! What were the decks shipped in to get so damaged?

just a jiffy (bubble) envelope. I think the destroyed tuckbox with missing cards was the posties fault as the envelope has been torn and taped back up. Though the packaging was still inadequate as the other tucks are damaged and the hand painted print is wrinkled. Could have at least done with some poster board or something!

That is insane, if someone is sending a print you would not expect it to arrive wrinkled. You should contact the creator. I feel for you right now.

Read the comments.  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noreply/songs-of-experience-playing-cards/comments

Seems protecting the product was not a high concern.  Live and Learn.

Ouch, that's upsetting. Thanks for posting that photo. Hopefully they will replace the damaged product for you. I am so glad my loving girl friend decided she didn't want this deck and I dropped my pledge. Never thought I would say this, Thank you Mythic Chibis.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

I totally hate it when people don't package your stuff properly. You can give as many excuses as you want about additional cost or poor handling on the postal service part, but i have bought from different KS projects and websites day in day out, with the same or cheaper shipping cost and i don't seem to get any problem from them.

While i understand there may be just 1 or 2 unfortunate incident about damaged parcel, this project just seems like he didn't care about proper packaging. Whether it be ignorance or not, it is still unacceptable. I think we should create a list on which are some of the better "packagers" and which are some of the worst just to give people some thought before pledging a new project.
