Pretty interested in this myself, I do enjoy reading and would love to know a little history. The Google machine is fine, but there will always be a place for books. Damn the e-readers!

So I just pre-spent a lot of money. Very intrigued with what you've got planned for the rest of the campaign!

Looks like i have to get back in the prostitution business again.. sigh Jackson why must you do this! =p

Need a pimp? I don't hit too hard.

Saw the Tuckcase article earlier, and realized I'm going to have to save some money. Those designs are GORGEOUS and stand apart in a league of their own. No WAY I'm missing another one of your projects sir, especially this one. A whole villain deck would be badass, possibility of metallic inks? Stretch goals in this case is an inappropriate term, as I think regardless of what is set, it will be achieved. More like grasp goals, I tell you!

Here are a few things I would love to give up for some of your gorgeous decks:

Shadow Masters
Masters, red, blue, black
Vortex
White Ghost

And if you're interested:

Blue Crown luxury, handmade red and blue
S&M V7 box set
S&M V7 Carbon copy box set

I think the only exclusive that comes to mind would be buy X dollars/decks and get this special decks that Theory11, Ellusionist, Dan & Dave and The Blue Crown sites run. I believe Ellusionist has a few this year for 1st edition Black Ghost, Red Rounders and Scarlet Madison dealers. And of course some decks are "limited" though it's hard to say how rare it is unless it is specifically stated.

I think the thing for action figures is that is a way huger market than playing cards. Take the Star Wars action figures for example (and that's a huge line of Hasbro who . Look at exclusive for stores (ie. Wal-Mart, Targets, comic shops, etc) and then you've got convention exclusives and then sometimes they've got promotion mail-in exclusive.

But I can see with the ease of eBay, there can be less of a chase to get something. For me, the thrill of the chase is get a cool deck I like without having to fork over an arm and a leg for it.

I agree, I think the market is larger. Although I was quite surprised to see all the variants, whether intended by the manufacturer or not, that there are for playing cards. 

Sprouts you working on a Kickstarter? Because I know someone that would back it. This guy.

I've noticed from place to place that not everyone carries the same style. Given, magic shops have the most variety that I've seen, but as far as anything exclusive or limited I wasn't sure how commonplace that was. With action figures, there was always the thrill of the hunt for that one chase figure, but it doesn't look like the case here, especially since everything I've seen is available on the google machine.

I come from years and years of collecting action figures; the variants, repaints, exclusives...etc. In my short time here, I've found cards are along the same line. However, after leaving Walgreens the other day with my hands full of cards and the drugs I originally went in to purchase, I started wondering about something. Is there any difference between cards bought at one retail store than another?
 With action figures, there was usually mass market versions (Wal-mart, Target, toy stores....) and specialty store versions (Spencer's, Hot Topic, Suncoast....). So I was curious if this was the case with any cards, whether they came from a website or a brick and mortar store. I keep scrubbing, but this green stuff is slow to go....

That's kind of a red flag. If this indeed is going where it looks, then that last donation makes sender. Not a bad investment, pledge $600 of your own to make $11k. Maybe against all odds we will see a deck instead of tire tracks.

Well crap

I suppose every noob makes mistakes, and let it be known throughout, this might have been my first one. I back this campaign, and was watching it right down to it's close. And indeed, there were no new backers in the last hour, but in the last 30 seconds, someone pledged just over $600. An existing "backer". Needless to say, I thought it was a tad fishy. Had I seen this thread, or even bothered to check his history, I would have steered clear.

He's had one small update since it's close, where other projects I've seen have rolled out regular updates even after the funding has closed. Guess we will see how this shakes down. Regardless, lesson learned.

Card Experiment has put so much effort into designing a custom back, pips, joker and 4 custom large Aces. I wish they'd do something more than slightly modified court cards.

I like everything they've done with the deck,, tuckcase, the whole kabob. But the thing that really tickles my beard is what they've done with the court cards. Just simply removing the mouth really gets me, especially when taken in context to the backstory.  Given, I'm brand spankin (gently now, nothing weird) new to this hobby and haven't seen a whole lot, when I do see something that hasn't been done, especially in regards to details, I get intrigued.

Actually, there's been a few decks in the past that have used mouthless courts like this.  One was Card Experiment's own Babel deck, the others were the Mystery deck from BeDeceived and the Bicycle Clot Ltd. Edition deck (a promo deck for a Hong Kong-based clothing company).

Hmm. Can't blame the alcohol on that.
I suppose I shouldn't post when running on two hours sleep. It is the Babel deck I was thinking of. I've had that page open waiting for their pre-order to begin before I order a couple decks.

Just Fred, no you're safe. So long as my wee ones keep keep my wife and I in a drunkish, sleep deprived state, this is likely to happen again. Crap, have to grab the bat. That damn penguin is at the door again selling chocolate bars.

When I saw your work, it made me cuss. And I mean like "f%&#! That's cool" How soon before the rest of the deck gets it's debut? I'm very intrigued with what you have so far, and most definitely with what's coming.

DO I WIN

Okay, I know I'm new here and everything, but damn hell that was funny. That should  the new welcome poster. Membership would skyrocket. Or plummet.

That's a pretty eclectic piece of equipment. I'm impressed nonetheless, and might back it, but I don't really know if it's so much playing cards with a nifty case and picture frame as it is a neat picture frame and tuckcase with cool playing cards.
