I don't think those are quite random squiggles on the slip case. It looks like they're the 52's all over the place in a much heavier layout than on the card back. I may be wrong, hard to tell in the photos. I agree though absolutely awesome.

It's one fine looking deck, fro what's visible thus far.  Can't wait to pick up mine!

You're able to get down there Don? Nice, I wish I could have made it. October is a month of "teh sukc" for me, it's all messed up haha. I never had a chance. Maybe if they move it to January or July I can go lol. You guys'll be having a blast whilst I'm here looking at photos. So jealousy, yea I gots it.

500 decks is a lot, I'm willing to make a donation to the club in exchange for one. Probably won't happen though, you guys know I'll so play poker with it. ;)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

All the pics, including my own, don't do this deck justice.

It's just striking in every way, from the tuck design to the cards themselves.........and the Jokers are just fantastic  ;)

It was an honor to be involved with the release in our little way. Kudos to everyone, Tom, Lee, Jackson and Bill wonderful convention and collectors keepsake  :)

Gaaahhhhh I would have loved to have been there. I ended up getting sent out of town for training this week, and ended up in Wilmington, only 3 hours from Charleston. However, that was the middle of this week. Had it been today, I would have made a southern detour back home. Sad. Face.

You're able to get down there Don?

Nope - my car died and I have to save some cash for a new one.  Canceled my trip, so I'll be waiting with the other non-attendee members!

Guys and gals who didn't yet join:

This looks like one awesome deck - the aftermarket price won't be cheap and that's even if you can find people willing to part with their supply.  JOIN THE CLUB NOW, get the opportunity to buy the deck at retail after the con AND receive the club's awesome quarterly newsletter, among its other benefits.  It's probably going to be cheaper and easier to do that than pay aftermarket for a deck that will be in very short supply.  One year of the club is just $25.  Buy two or three years and get a discount.

I listened to Don's advice and registered this morning.  The deck will be great and I am excited about being in the club community.

Are they still available to club members? Or have they sold out by this point?

Yes there are some still available, and they will be available to club members. I just wouldn't wait too long once they offer them.

Judging from their popularity at the convention, the positive reactions they've received here and the size of the print run (only 500), I'm forced to agree.  There will likely be leftover stock, but not a huge amount of it once the con is over.

The Club decks were very popular at the convention but we for sure have stock left over. I'm coordinating with the Tom now as Kings Wild Fulfillment will be handling the fulfillment of the club decks. All members will be able to order them from the Club Website very soon actually. Everyone just has to get back home to set everything up.

Glad to hear that, would love for you guys to keep us updated when this happens. I suspect a membership plus this deck will be cheaper than the ebay resellers.

Jackson is right on. hopefully Tuesday on the Club website. Not only cheaper but all the benefits of membership - CTD and the 2015 convention with the antique and vintage collectors AND a chance to rub shoulders with a great group of newer collectors, designers and producers!!!

I've been feeling sorry for myself all weekend as just a couple hours away I knew fun and adventure was taking place. And I highly doubt it will be so close next year! Regardless, I joined 52J just a little while ago. I'd been wanting to, and the cards were all I could handle. Hey, if I couldn't make the con, I could at least feel sorry for myself clutching a gorgeous deck, right? Right.

I just want to add that the opportunity to buy this deck is just the cherry on top of a big 'ol chocolate-fudge Sunday. I joined the club earlier this year and was able to fly to Charleston for the convention. The trading floor was a blast and the auction was exhilarating even though there was no way I was going to outbid Jackson or Bill for the old USPCC sales books. It was fantastic meeting some of my favorite artists: Jackson, Randy, Alex, Paul, Lance and other who's work I was able to enjoy for the first time.

And meeting Judy, Tom, Rob, Steve and all the rest made it an event I will not soon forget. Too many highlights to list them all here. My advice is absolutely join the club, buy this deck -- but if at all possible make it to next year's convention!

I am absolutely thrilled that the convention was such a rousing success - and that the deck was, as well.  I really regretted having to cancel my plans to be there, but the need to purchase a new car unfortunately trumps taking even a short vacation with a lot of buying and selling of decks!

Next year, people...next year!

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to Tuesday!

The convention sounds an absolute blast - as an international member; who knows what next year could bring!
The members page states the decks are available tomorrow (night time); for those of us in a different time zone, is there anything firmer time wise?

I am sure you will be OK as right now the limit is only two per member.  This deck has some fabulous and beautiful unique features but our cupboard is getting fuller with great decks created by other talented designers. 

We NEVER buy new decks but now.......!

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
Alright, I got ahead of myself =( I will have to keep my fingers crossed that there will still be one available Friday when I can actually get in and get one purchased. Such an incredible oportunity to be a part of this even when I'm not able to travel to get to meet people and shake hands and get one of these decks as the cherry on top of what sounds like and amazing convention sunae. I'm sure there will be one or two floating around the resale market soon, so hopefully I can pick one up there if I miss out now.

Hi Tom,

The deck looks amazing and I can't wait to see it in person.  I ordered two off the website today.  I only received a paypal confirmation email, but no email from 52 plus joker confirming my order.  Is that the process or should I have received a confirmation email directly from 52 plus joker?

I live in Canada, is it possible to pay extra for a faster shipping method, now that I have placed my order?

Mike

You won't miss out. There's enough for all members who want 1 [or 2].

PayPal confirmation is all you'll get. Hang on to it in case, but we don't anticipate any problems. We are just a Club, not Amazon and have rudimentary systems - so no extra confirmations and only able to use first class mail from Kingswild Fulfillment to ship. Canada [even Yorkton] isn't that far!!

Good news, today I was looking at only being able to get a single deck. Friday I will be able to get two, and I would truly love one to keep prestine and still have one to crack open and enjoy.
I am of the collector's school of thought that the collection comes first; you always keep one perfectly mint item, even if it's the only one you have.

And this deck will truly be a prize addition to my collection, up there with my Unbranded Black Reserve, my Met Punk C to C deck and my M.A.C. deck

I sent payment and I am waiting for the confirmation so I can log-in/pick up a few of these decks. I am super stoked for the silver version as well as the soon to come gold. I think the gold looks absolutely amazing.

The cost of a membership and the decks will probably be LESS than the aftermarket price for the decks themselves.  Consider joining!

Gold version?  I've heard nothing about a gold version.  Where did you learn of it?

Doug Rickenback here, I guess I'll stop "lurking" and actually post something...

The deck is great, the convention was super, but the best of all is meeting all these fine people in the flesh and having the chance to learn and share with the experts!  Howdy Tom, Judy, Rob & all!

PS - Tom can you "bump" my profile to member status?

Thanks,
Doug

I've said this before - the odds that one of these decks will be on eBay "cheap" are slim.  Even if one does, it's going to be one of the very few.

It will probably be cheaper and definitely be easier to join the Club, get ALL the Club benefits, and buy the deck at regular retail.  It's a good time to join (says the guy who can see behind the curtain at what's coming up soon)...  :))

Lee, if I recall, they can access for more than just CTD on Ask Alexander - there's a number of magazine/newsletter titles they can access at the 52+J level!

Yes, you can access the Chicago Playing Card Collector's Club newsletters as well as the International Playing Card Society's Newsletters. Plus, the CARC throws in some magic texts for 30 days. It's pretty sweet!

I tried joining a couple days ago when the video with Jackson and Bill was posted but I got a message saying I had to be approved by an administrator before I can become a member. I haven't heard anything since then so I'm not sure how to purchase the deck.

Hi 10 of Clubs
If you go to the link "Join right now" in Lee's post four or five below and quoted above, it takes you to a form to fill out and submit. You will get a reply asking you to send the fee to the Club [or you can send the fee with your registration using the "Buy Now" button]. Once that is finished you will be authorized by the Treasurer [approved by an administrator] and able to access the Members Section of the Club website. The order page will be right in front of your eyes. LOL - It is a lot simpler than it sounds as I re-read this.

I thought the same thing.  The gold looks better than the silver ones which makes the decision easier to wait and open a gold and save all silvers ones.

I haven't seen either the silver or the gold decks in real life, but in pictures, I think I favor the silver - it's more subtle but still cool looking! I find the gold a bit too "in your face" relative to the silver... That being said, I'll still be picking up some of the gold decks as they're still pretty cool in my book! =)

I think the silver embodies the concepts Jackson was trying to incorporate better [in fact exceptionally well] - but I guess I'm not truly objective!

I think the Club deck was all about the presentation, a beatiful "Box" with a subtle design, being Silver it doesn't jump out at you as much as the gold does, so it has a "Cleaner" look. The Gold looks just as amazing because you see the Detail and pattern of the design right out of the gate. I think both look amaxzing in their own way and Jackson and EPCC did a great job on the entire project.

Believe shipments of club deck have been made to those who purchased through club website last week. Can anyone confirm receipt?

Received my decks on Monday. Was able to crack open the envelope on Tuesday, then dig into the box. The slip cases are very stout. I really am impressed with them that far, haven't popped one open yet. I don't pop a deck until it's on the poker table. I think maybe one deck for new years, the other saved for some time after. Also received my deck jackets on Monday and was able to crack that box on Tuesday as well. No damage to the deck jackets even though it looked like they were tossed in all willy nilly, packaged in a hurry and kicked out the door lol. The box was good high quality protection.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

No harm, No foul Tom. Product arrived safely, I think someone was probably just in a hurry haha. It happens to us all now and again. :)

I received mine yesterday.  My two decks were packed practically bullet-proof and I cracked open a deck - very nice.  I did notice the faces looked familiar - it appears to be the Kings Wild standard face, 'cause Jackson also used it on his Tally Ho deck!

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
Just got confirmation of shipping through KWF. Very excited, everything I have seen for this deck from pictures, to videos, to other peoples rave reviews has the anticipation boiling for me. I will be chomping at the bit every morning until they show up.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The site has been down for several days now. I believe they are trying to launch the updated site, but have had issues with the different servers.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

We are having difficulties with our host who has not been able to complete the migration to a newer dnn platform [all of which is part of our redesign, new look, etc.]. We have it hosted on a temporary site, then they tell us they've fixed the problem so we point back to them but it doesn't work properly, etc. etc. Right now, and for the rest of the weekend, it should be OK at the temporary site. If you can't sign in when you try please post a note here and tell us. We'd appreciate people trying and letting us know if they were successful or not. Thanks! If you can't get in and want to order decks please send me a PM and we'll do it that way.

We are now hosted on another server at a different provider. While this is temporary while we try and work things out with GoDaddy, it should work fine.

Was wondering - how much does one of these decks cost after buying a membership? And are there still any left?
