Has anyone seen a time on these? Just curious. I normally get every notification that he sends out, but I haven't heard a word about these other than here.

Sad there were no early bird options, I guess since nothing is limited i'll just wait and see on this one.
Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

Here's a tip: Instead of paying $12 for fontaines, you could just buy a blue NOC ($5) and a white sharpie (~$3).

You're welcome!

His video is a bit long, but his uncut sheet is an insanely low priced at $19.  With price of the uncut sheet, shipping, price of the tube, Kickstarter and Amazon fees, he is probably making $5 bucks if that.

36% funded as of 3:20CST. Inexpensive uncut, yes, but not a terribly exciting one.

  • I like birds.

  • Kickstarter:
The uncut sheet is 7 bucks more than the deck. I don't even.

That being said, I'd probably pay a maximum of 7 bucks for this. 12? Heeeeeeell naw.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE IT

As easily as I couldn't love the first one?

Here's a tip: Instead of paying $12 for fontaines, you could just buy a blue NOC ($5) and a white sharpie (~$3).

You're welcome!

Dude.  Ya killin' me!  :))

But then you wouldn't get the "utility device built into box".  I hope he's not referring to the flap...

His video is a bit long, but his uncut sheet is an insanely low priced at $19.  With price of the uncut sheet, shipping, price of the tube, Kickstarter and Amazon fees, he is probably making $5 bucks if that.   

Well, since it cost him $5 to have it pulled off the line and it's maybe $2.50 for the "deck" it was supposed to be, I guess he's actually under water on them.  I was under the impression that shipping tubes ain't cheap.  He makes up for it with the $12 deck - who buys the uncut without getting at least one or two decks?

Don, I would bet big bucks that the utility built into the box is the ability to "convert" the box into his Vintage Holdout. See the line under "playing cards" on the front of the box? Cut along that line and you can slide stuff in there. He released it on the Wire I believe. Maybe a year ago.

What I'm wondering is why he didn't move the box that "playing cards" is in down just a tad further. The upside down f looks like a shepard's hook.

Already 64% funded. I like the simplicity of the deck, but not enough to drop 20 bucks for one of them. I don't really understand the appeal of clothing with a name of a deck on it.... seems weird to me. I enjoyed the video, they made it a bit more of a show than just asking for backers.

I could help you go viral if you really wanted to, but it's a dark dark world to have teenage fanboys nipping at your heels.

If it was the mainstream USPC decks, sure, but for some obscure limited edition that most of the world won't even know exists?  They wouldn't even know what it was the name of.  They might think it was a restaurant or resort, perhaps a nightclub.

It takes a fanboy to buy something like that.  Zach Mueller has fanboys.

  • You only go around once - spin hard as you can!
I'm not a big fan of this deck but I came across Zach's new teaser for the Blue Fontaines.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0dtpYrFZs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUujBiYlw9avXsut3s671X6g

Maybe a purple deck is coming in the near future?
Nah, Gold and then Silver metallic decks should follow next right? >:(

I knew this reminded me of something I had seen before.

What do the court cards look like, I asked on the comments section but I haven't seen the creator show up once yet. I'm trying to understand...
