Title: Wealth Playing Cards Bicycle (KS)
Post by: GBAllison on May 22, 2013, 07:55:21 AM: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1894163124/wealth-playing-cards-bicycle?ref=search

Goal is $15,000
Early birds are $8 ... but there are only 8 early birds.
Regular price is $10
International shipping is $10

Note that the project creator is listed as ParteePartee from Los Angeles, but the project location is Starkville, MS. The creator shows as having created three projects, but one is an earlier version of this same project, which apparently was pulled down almost as soon as it was created (on May 12). (The other was a t-shirt project that didn't succeed.)

Oh, and if you judge a project by its grammar and typos, you will definitely want to go to the actual project page on this one.

I know Elite Cards sent him an email about using "Majestic". It was off the board with in 24 hours. I think he looked at some other projects and said-$15,000- sounds good to me-I'll go with that

WOW INDEED. If I back the project I really have too much money to spend.

My guess is that this guy saw how well Federal 52 did and said, "hey, I can make a money deck" and viola, one failed attempt and a second lack luster attempt.

Uninspired. :(
