Hello backers,


I cant thank you enough for your patience. It's been a long road to set up a fulfillment center along with the process to re-package the decks into the premium tucks which is the cause for the delay. 


I am pleased to announce that were finally ready to fulfill your orders and get these decks in your hands. 


If you havent filled out your backerkit please do so by Tuesday. We will begin shipping on Wednesday and should have all orders hipped by Friday. 


Best,

Derek

Hello Backers,


I hope everyone had a great week!

I have been going back and forth with Backerkit this week and were almost ready to send. 

In the meantime I've attached some photos our factory snapped some photos of the final product. 

Thank you all for your patience! 

Almost Ready

Hello backers,


First thank you so much for your patience and I hope everyone has had a great holiday season. 

Were  almost ready to ship. The tucks and decks are in our hands and were just waiting now for the seals. 

I am extremely pleased with how everything turned out. The tucks are printed on a premium lustre paper with silver foil. The cards feel extraordinary. The seals will all be numbered. 

The final print run was 1400. 

I am preparing to send out the Backerkit surveys tomorrow. 

Our goal is to start shipping out at the end of next week. 


As always please let me know if you have any questions. 


I appreciate your support and patience. 


Best, 

Derek

Update!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 11:56:30 PM

Hello backers,


First I want to thank you all for your patience with me, this project has presented obstacles that I could never have anticipated. 


Here is where we are: 

The decks have been completed and are on the way to be retucked. Unfortunately the company that usually does this is at capacity and can not do this project for us. What I have done is purchase the equipment needed to complete this process and a team in Denver, Colorado is learning how to use the machine now. 


Each deck will be retucked by hand and cellophaned to perfection.


I will be sending you a more in depth update as soon as I have an anticipated ship date for you. 


Again thank you for your support and patience!


Best,

Derek

Hello backers


First thank you so much for your patience as we navigate this new normal. 


The tucks are being printed along with the seals. Once those are received we will package the cards into the new boxes and get them sent out. I will have a better idea on when this will be complete next week. 


Please let me know if you have any questions. 


Thanks again,

Derek
