Part 2 of the Federal 52 will launch mid June and will feature the Silver Certificate deck and the reserve note deck. I spoke to Jackson and he shared an image of the tuck case for the Federal 52 reserve note deck. Attached below.
I also did a q and a with him posted here.

I'm in, just for the fact that the box looks good!
-
Wow! That is beautiful work.
-
Gorgeous, but he hasn't delivered the first deck yet!
-
Gorgeous, but he hasn't delivered the first deck yet!
True, but this deck was a direct outgrowth of that project - KS's most heavily-funded deck project so far. Were it not for the added level of complexity it would have created on the "Federal 52" project, he would likely have added both of these decks mentioned to that project - making it one whopper of a project, and a huge undertaking for a first-timer.
-

With the professionalism Jackson has shown on the Fed 52 project. I truly believe delivery will not be a problem. He has continually up-dated his project throughout. I saw him answer the same stupid questions from backers over and over and over. Was always polite. He has given himself 4 months to complete the project, and by resent updates, I believe is ahead of schedule Just over all a very well handled project.
-
I posted this over on UC so I thought I would go ahead and post it over hear as well. As always I am completely open listening and acting on solid feedback of possibly postponing my second project, especially if that is what my backers want. I want to be above reproach on all of my dealings.
I understand everyone view towards me already starting the next project. These decks were a direct outgrowth of the original Federal 52 project. If it weren't for the added level of complexity it would have created on the "Federal 52" project, I would have added both of these decks to that project. In my defense this will be my 4th kickstarter 3 of all of which have been successful. I have completely satisfied all of my backers from my previous projects and have delivered their rewards on time with the date that I have promised. (pretty much quoted Don's statement he said it so well)
With that said EVERY card designer on kickstarter is feeling the effects of the few scammers out there. I actually welcome the added concern and caution. It only gives the genuine designers a chance to prove their worth and integrity.
For those that don't feel comfortable backing my second project, I would say you shouldn't back any project that you don't feel %100 comfortable with. I haven't back a few projects my self for that very reason. I will once again with my second project take the stand point of not selling to wholesellers, and any one who would like to wait until after the project is over the few extra decks will be available on my website for the Kickstarter price.
The print / production world is something I am in no way a rookie at. I have been a professional illustrator and designer for more than 10 years and have supported my family with that profession. My reputation has always rested on my ability to complete projects on time and deliver products when promised. This is something I am fully used to. I have designed and illustrated over 250 packages for Hasbro Toys and Lucas film licensing. The heat that I catch from these forums and Kickstarter is minute compared to what Lucas Film and Hasbro can dish out. If you would like to check my credentials, your more than welcome too, my portfolio and resume are free to the public.
Here is my professional website:
http://www.onelunglewis.com (http://www.onelunglewis.com)
I hope backers become even more cautious and do even more research into the creators they may back. Ultimately its up to them to be deligent with how they spend their money. Eventually I hope to not have to use kickstarter at all. As always I welcome your comments and concerns. That;s enough with the soap box. Here is some more images. The seal is temp.

Hey guys, I wanted to post images of all the decks that will be available during the upcoming Federal 52 Kickstarter. I'm planning on going live on June 15th. Thanks guys for all of your support.
All the decks will be Casino Bee Card stock with magic finish, printed by USPC

Gorgeous! I missed out on the first Federal 52's as I'm new to collecting. Can't wait to get my hands on these. Scary talented artist. Visited the website and ended up buying a T-Shirt from a different KS project.

Yeah, his spelling is occasionally terrible, but there's no mistaking that he knows what he's doing and he does it well. :))
-
Dammit Jackson! Just keep my credit card on file and just send me a brick of each when they're ready!
-
Spectacular work, Jackson :D The whole collection is gorgeous.
-
Do you guys think that this pair of decks will raise more money than his first two? I'd be pretty surprised, but I know I'll pledge for quite a few.
And what's the deal on those limited ones?! Yes please.
-
I think that black box looks bad ass. In the picture, It almost looks like leather or something else. Doesn't look like cardboard. Might be an idea for Jackson to add on a special clip or case. Maybe a metal case that looks like a strong box or vault.
-
Will these decks have the same court cards?
-
The Silver Certificate Deck will have the same court cards as the original Federal 52 and Gold Certificate just to maintain continuity. However they will have new Ace of Spades and also joker design to match the silver certificate theme.
The Reserve note Deck will have ALL new cards both number, court, and jokers. Here is a sample of the new style of court cards for the reserve note deck.

I thought so as well. Beats some of the more overused "magical" Latin phrases.

Jackson - What about playing around with the idea of putting a small amount of UV ink on your black reserve and don't tell anyone about it. It's doable. It's only .10 extra per deck.
"This isn’t a new ink, you may have seen this on our tragic royalty deck. The design for UV ink has to be approved by our printing manager and the cost is $0.10 more per deck."

That's an extra $500 dollars per 5000 decks. For a frivolous marking that no one even knows about.

Technically, it would be just $100, as he's only printing 1000 decks. But it's still $100!!
-
Although I still can't find myself a true enough fan of these decks to want to buy them, there is no doubt that the art is absolutely amazing and Jackson is extremely talented. I think it's the shear fact that I hate the look of American currency. But regardless, I almost stare in awe of the design and artwork of this deck and just love how it's been done. Maybe I'll find myself pledging this time around. :D

...and Tragic Royalty handled like cowpies...though to be fair, it's possible that was due to the awful gray ink used on the backgrounds. I'm still waiting to see Grid 2.0 before I pass judgment on UV inks as a category.
And I'm STILL trying to figure out why you'd want UV markings on this deck! What purpose would it serve? The deck will look like currency already, it doesn't need to be made like currency.

No matter how you slice it, it doesn't fit in this design, period, so there's no point in spending money on it. Jackson's currency deck designs hearken back to OLDER currency, bills that were created before anyone had heard of UV strips, color-shifting inks, microprinting, adding blue & red fibers to the paper, etc. Those are all MODERN anti-counterfeiting measures.
only printing 1000 decks.
The minimum order quantity for a custom run is 2,500 decks.
Did I miss something? ._.
No, you didn't. It's a case of one of two things. Either a) he's just making the tuck box different and the cards inside are the same, or b) because of all the cash he's dropping at their plant (EIGHT DECKS plus this one) they're letting him make a short run on this special edition deck. USPC has been known to bend some of their rules for people who are making a LOT of cards with them.
-
Don, I can only count six decks, unless Jackson is making in branded of the next two decks as well. Has this been confirmed?
-
There is gonna be a total of 9 decks in the Federal 52 series:
Branded Federal 52
Unbranded Federal 52
Branded Gold Certificate
Unbranded Gold Certificate
Branded Silver Certificate
Unbranded Silver Certificate
Branded Reserve Note
Unbranded Reserve Note
Unbranded "Black" Limited Edition Reserve Note
WOW is that confusing :)
-
Thanks for clearing that up!
-
hmm notice he didn't say nay or yea for UV inks. I betting on the "Unbranded "Black" Limited Edition Reserve Note" It's important to make a deck special. Black and UV would set that deck apart...Gear up the rumor mill...
-
Still not sure about the UV inks yet, I see your idea but it seem a little novel to me. In terms of making this deck special, I am redesigning every single card for the Reserve Note. I'm not really sure how many people actually own a uv light much less use one while playing with their cards. UV was awesome for Grid 2.0 but for my deck the focus is the designs them selves. As Don said, most of my designs favor older pre UV printing techniques.

I'm one of three people that I know that own a black light that can see UV ink. Not a common item I would think. I think go with your intentions and sell the deck on your ability to design them. No doubt you're talented so that in itself is enough. Oh and the whole UV ink thing, although I have a black light, I've used it once to see how much a few of my Ellusionist decks that had UV500 stock glowed. I don't find it a very useful or "cool" thing. An interesting fun fact no doubt but unnecessary and unneeded.

Sprouts has been known for some out-on-a-limb ideas before and this is just another one.
Michael, I'd wager that price alone wasn't the only reason E stopped using UV500 stock - the fact that very few people ever bothered exposing them to a UV light may have been another. Granted, the stock did handle well, but since Magic Finish came along nearly ALL decks handle well, the only variable being how firm or soft you want the paper to be.
Jackson, stick to your guns. Your deck doesn't need UV ink and it will only increase the production cost for very little benefit in return. Now, if you were talking metallic foil on the tuckbox, that might be a different story... :)) (Nah, just kidding - even that wouldn't look right in this context!)

Here is one of the Joker designs from the Silver Certificate deck.

Looks good - as one would expect from you, at this point! :))
BTW: that was very kind and generous of you to give shout-outs on your updates to other people's projects. I'm a consultant for Uusi on the Royal Optik deck as I was for them on the Bohemia deck.
-
It was both no problem and a no brainer for me to plug Optik. I truly believe Uusi and a few other projects really get it in terms of putting out the absolute best quality work and execution. Any help I can give them only serves as a way to promote more work at that standard.
-
Ok, so part two just started. This is how it went for me: *blink* 100% funded *blink* all 95 black reserve note decks GONE! *blink* 200% funded..... What the.....
I still haven't backed it! I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the desk at how fast that just happened!
-
So disappointed I forgot about the kickstarter campaign, and completely missed out on such an elegant and appealing bunch of decks. I tip my hat off to the creator of this ;)

Just a bot the same thing here, last time i looked it was right at $45,000.
Just think of the art we would have, if every twisted mind with great imagination had Jackson's skills
-
I maintain the fact that this is the best designed deck I have ever seen in a deck of cards.
If I hadn't halted my collection several months ago, I'd own several bricks of each of the editions.
-
Does no one post links to these things anymore??
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1722808047/federal-52-part-2-a-new-bicycle-playing-card-deck
It looks like this might be the new speedfunding record. Damn near broke the sound barrier... Already he's at over 300% and it's been what - not even a full DAY yet?
I smell a contender for the Name of the Wind record...
-
I've never used Kickstarter before so I've made an account just to pledge for these. But it seems you can only pledge for one reward tier. What do I do if I want all five decks?
-

Contact him about making a custom order pledge or make a second account.
Yes, KS is fucking stupid like that.

Never mind, found my own answer!

I'm getting to the point of halting my collection also... This hobby is getting ridiculously expensive and I'm not someone that buys everything.
When I got a glimpse of the King of Clubs on the Kickstarter video, I knew I had to have these.
The reserve note decks are just too good to pass on.
-
And here comes another release of the "Limited Edition" decks. I wonder how many more waves will be released. I love these cards, but I am getting so tired or trying to keep up with what's released, and what I have pledged for. I'm just going to buy the rest of the things that I don't have/do want from this series on eBay. I simply can't keep up anymore.
I'm giving Jackson the benefit of the doubt, but I am getting increasingly nervous about his ability to handle the order fulfillment process. He's running ahead of a massive avalanche now but even one tinly slip up at any stage and he will be buried in decks. I don't want that to happen to him at all, but I am getting nervous for him. I've read the horror stories from backers about projects MUCH smaller than this jumping the tracks because the creator is overwhelmed by a couple of hundred backers buying a couple of thousand decks. The Federal projects are WAY beyond that. I seriously hope that everything works out perfectly for him and his projects, and I don't regret backing them, and will back future projects of his, but I'm just getting that feeling. Know what I mean?

Jackson put out a new update. =S
The LE Reserve Note deck will get a black back w/ metallic red ink.

I can understand that, but don't worry too much. He's dedicated to getting everything done (it's a career for him now) and he's got things worked out. He's also willing to take advice from people (like me :) ) and I'm very confident that he'll get everything sorted out efficiently. He's into it too deep to make a hash of it now, and he's darn serious about doing things the right way.

I'm in agreement with Paul on this one. He's earned so much cash on this project, he's got resources that smaller projects would have a hard time bringing to bear. It's very likely he's hiring a fulfillment company to manage the heavy lifting when the decks are printed, rather than using the "free-pizza-and-beer" method of attracting friends to help get all the decks out the door. The project's just too huge to do otherwise.
-
Pretty stoked about the new wooden boxes. They're actually a really nice peripheral to the deck that will compliment it nicely; as opposed to poker chips or coffee mug or branded ball point pen etc.
(I'd post pictures, but I don't know how)

I'm in for 2 of the limited black decks that are now gone. I really like the black on black tuck box with what looks like will be red foil. I'm not liking the actual card backs being black on black. I'm thinking Jackson should make the LE reserve note a normal black back and still include the parts he wants metallic red. We have the ultimate deck and the executive deck using black on black. I never bought either one of those decks because it acts as a design camouflage. The reserve note back is way too nice to be hidden black on black. I understand the LE reserve note is a collectors deck and most will not be opening them. But for those that do, you want people to enjoy the back designs functionality. You can still keep the black on black look for the tuck and custom brick boxes.
-
I really like this deck. Nice artwork and great colors.
You can really tell this guy has a passion for this sort of thing. IMO, that's what makes a great deck...passion...
-
Looks like Jackson is designing mid Kickstarter project again. The art is amazing... I wish he would have planned out court cards first before launching. All was OK until I saw the Queen of Spades. Is that liberty OR a store front manikin? Where are the two most distinguishable features of liberty (crown and torch)?

Legacy: In the history of America and in us currency Liberty is pictured with out crown and torch more times than not. Probably 20 to 1. There are only two or three bank notes that have liberty pictured with with crown and torch. The Crown and Torch version of what you think is Lady Liberty isn't even an American creation but a copy of a French statue. The Liberty that is pictured on the Queen of spades is from a Military Payment Certificate not a Macy's window dressing. Designing the cards during the project is exactly what I do and it is known by everyone :)

Super excited about this project, sad I missed out on the limited black editions. I already pledged for a set, but I may just have to add another just because of how great it looks.

Did you read the update?
"The Queen of Spades portrait is of a tranquil depiction of Lady Liberty found on Series 541 10 dollar Military Payment Certificate."

SO Jackson, let me get this strait. What your really doing is copying other artists portraits from money? Not your own version of things or people that appear on money? The USPCC has no problem with that? Didn't Shepard Fairey get sued for doing a print of President Obama that was a copy of another persons photo? Is this not the same thing? Sure most of the original artists of the work your coping are probably dead but I would think someone owns the right to them? Does not look so great on your part. I call them as I see them.
-
Legacy: Actually ALL currency and art held within is public domain from the day it is printed. Artist are free to reproduce any part of it as long as they abide be guidlines set out by the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department. Also pulling from bank notes is something that I have made clearly known to all since the first Federal 52 project. In the updates with every card you will find specific sitations of which notes that all of my portraits are from.
Also Shephard ripped of a photographers image from the associated press so big difference. Even then he changed it to fit his own artistic expression.

I appreciate you coming on to clarify. I do remember this coming up on the first project and it was also explained then.
So whats the deal with the Black on Black backs? Did you give what I wrote prior any thought? (doing a regular black back for the LE)
Your clam that playing cards are your passion as per one of your videos, whats next when the money idea has been beaten to death by you like a dead horse?

Legacy: Actually ALL currency and art held within is public domain from the day it is printed. Artist are free to reproduce any part of it as long as they abide be guidlines set out by the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department. Also pulling from bank notes is something that I have made clearly known to all since the first Federal 52 project. In the updates with every card you will find specific sitations of which notes that all of my portraits are from.

Good question. If the money theme was the only horse that I had to ride I definitely would be in bland shape. I'm am already working on new and completely different deck ideas that will keep me busy through next year. I'm also collaborating with a few other people as we speak as well.

Thought some of you guys might think this was interesting. Here is the embossing files for both the Branded and Unbranded Silver Certificate Decks.

-
Dude, that is a SICK amount of embossing! It wasn't that long ago that USPC was putting out guidelines that they were no longer embossing any sides other than the face of the tuck box... I can see the decision making process now, over at USPC - playing cards, assorted dice, tea leaves, spinners, roulette wheels, wheels of fortune, I Ching sticks, runestones, etc. :))
-
Ya, The team over at USPC has really bent over backwards helping me create what I envision. They are awesome. It makes it a lot easier having some experience creating these files, not much rework time on USPC's part, that keeps them happier campers.

It's worth noting they only ship to the US and Canada, and it's a pre-order also.

For a design website, they're not outrageously expensive. Nice.

It's possible they don't really know how the first run increased in value, after they sell out in a few days - i'm sure they'll have an idea.

These are the Part 2 decks - he may have accounted for the popularity and ordered a larger print run. Plus it's not like Touch of Modern is charging MSRP on this, either.

Yup, I know it's the part 2 decks. Part 2 decks don't have an increased 'value' as they're not yet available.

I was referring more to the fact that if Jackson knew the demand based on the results of Part 1, he might have used some of his funds to increase the size of the print runs for Part 2, thus making the decks a little more common and putting less pressure on the aftermarket price to rise as high as it did for Part 1.

Ah, if you had only posted sooner... Already joined! Credit for what, BTW?

I believe that it's a credit for referrals to the TOM site. There was a "Invite friends earn $" section on the TOM home page. $25 credit when 10 friends sign up through your personal link. Other higher and lower levels as well.

Don is accurate (as usual) about the pricing on Touch of Modern. I was a little less skiddish and more flexible with capital after the first project and was able to buy more decks of the part II decks. That is the explanation of the drop in the retail of the decks price.

They can ship to a mail forwarding service. I did that last time when I bought Seasons and Artisans from them.

Wow, that's fantastic! :D

You should bust that guy's chops - the one that's already selling it on eBay. Ship to him last or something! Make him sweat! :))
I hate when people sell things they don't even have in their possession yet. Anything could happen before the seller takes possession that would prevent the item from being shipped to the buyer. Often they don't even list it as a pre-sale.

Totally! I wish I could figure out who he is, and I probably would. :)

Jackson,
I cannot get over how much I love that black Reserve Note, I could not be more jealous I won't have one. They aren't even out yet. Pre-jealousy.

The seller is listed as "punkrok0007". I wonder if they reused that for their Kickstarter screen name? It would be hilarious if that was true.

As per eBay, the seller must clearly list it as a pre sale. Unfortunately eBay can't catch everything and always know what's a pre sale and wants not. I don't see a problem with it as long as they follow the rules set by eBay. The person should not be penalized by receiving items late. They bought the product like everyone else. If the decks arrive damaged and they can't fulfill the commitment to buy, the seller should simply issue a refund. Rarely does that happen.

Yeah, I get all of that, but the idea of someone selling an item they don't even yet possess has a sleazy feel to it in my mind. Certainly the seller is taking a risk in the event the item does arrive later than planned - last I checked, that doesn't usually add up to positive feedback.

The blacks are beautiful. I can't wait to get mine in! I wish that I had the full sedt box and the single deck box, but it's hard for me to put money towards extra add-ons when that money could go towards an extra deck or two! I guess that I'm just really, really obsessed with the decks themselves! I've backed over 70 decks on KS, but just this year pledged for my first non-deck item, but it was far too gorgeous to resist. I still wish that I had gotten a few more of the decks too.
The first step is admitting that you have a problem!! :-)
-
Oh, MAN.
Did I make the mistake not getting the limited edition. Damn, those are nice!
-
I was able to pledge for 1 LE. It was tough to do at $40. I almost backed out of it a couple times. Glad I didn't. Unfortunately I will never see the black cards in hand. Don't plan to open it.
-
Got all of my decks for Fed 52 part 2 and everything was perfect. Great packaging also. And those coins look awesome. I did not realize how beautiful they were until I had them in hand. Good Job Jackson

Still haven't received my wooden case. I believe he said they'd all be out by the end of the year. Not too tore up about it though, with all the other shipping problems he's been having.

Sorry you haven't received you case yet. I have those personally and will be shipping those out very soon. I was in a small accident and have been incapacitated for the past few days.

Hey Jackson
Sorry to hear that and hope you feel better soon!
-
Sorry to hear that Jackson. Hope the recovery is quick and easy. Glad you're okay.
-
God damn, Jackson has produced some of the most beautiful artwork I've ever seen on a deck of cards.
-
Got mine! LOVE the artwork. Great job Jackson.
