      Hi Russell, I have yet to receive my uncut sheet and deck. Mind helping check the status?

      Just got my prints/decks. The print is crushed somewhat (as is my heart), but the decks are perfection!

      Creator Aaron Mitchneck on November 16, 2011

      OK, Russell. It's been over a month since I sent you an email about not receiving my cards and you didn't get back to me. Still no cards, what gives?!?!

      Just got mine (here in Japan)...and all I can say is they are AWESOME...already a few of my friends are wanting them as well...but I can laugh and know I got one of the special versions...

      Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

      SMALL UPDATE:

      99% of rewards are in the mail! Keep in mind Shipping and Customs can take a while so give it at least 10 days. I'll be posting a REAL update once all the packages are shipped out.

      I'll be shipping all the art print reward levels Wednesday and Thursday. (USA/CAN/Overseas)

      Creator JEFF R JARRETT on November 4, 2011

      Are there any other updates on shipping? Have yet to receive package, and I live less than five miles away from you. lol

    18. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on November 4, 2011

      I am almost ready to ship out the Art Print rewards. Only a few packages remain to be shipped.

      Received the deck the other day, and dude, you ROCK! It is AMAZING!

      I love the design, and the quality is the well-known Bicycles AWESOME!

      Received my 6 packs today. They look and feel absolutely AWESOME ! These will make truly great and unique gifts. Thanks a lot !

      Creator Tashniel on October 27, 2011

      Got my cards a couple weeks ago, and I have to say that they were a lot of fun, perfect for Halloween time too. My only dislike about them is that the black ink wears away VERY quickly. Is there some way to preserve them and make them last a bit longer?

    26. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on October 26, 2011

      @David
      Yes I have learned that. Also, yes, the framed/art prints are going out last.

      On a positive note:
      I shipped another 50 international packages today.

    27. Missing_small

      Creator David Elliott on October 26, 2011

      I think maybe the key is not to give estimates, but rather just give status. People will always complain if they don't get their stuff when promised, but rarely will someone complain when an item arrives early. I've been assuming that because I got a framed piece that I would probably be one of the last people to get mine.

    28. Missing_small

      Creator Nick O on October 25, 2011

      Thanks for the update Russell - waiting patiently in Canada. Happy at least to see the positive feedback from those who received theirs!

      Hopefully you are learning from this experience for your soon to be very successful Americana playing cards project? (at least for making shipping date estimates :)

    29. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on October 25, 2011

      SMALL UPDATE:
      I shipped out another 100 international packages over the past two days, I still have a few more USA packages that ned to be sent out.
      Thanks Everyone!

      Creator Bonte Radu on October 23, 2011

      Russel, I just got them in the mail 2 days ago and just as I expected, they're gorgeous. My friends didn't even want to play cards with them because of how beautiful they are. Thank you, I hope you keep on designing decks of cards and I keep getting some. :)
      P.S. The magic finish is an awesome bonus, I was expecting the air cushion one but I find the magic finish more "magical" . So thanks again.

    31. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on October 20, 2011

      Hey everyone, I have my internet connected at my new place now. Sorry for the delays, I am still shipping out!

    32. 1.small

      Creator Vjose32 on October 19, 2011

      Does everyone have to post that they received their decks??? We don't need to hear from everyone that their decks arrived so go play with your cards and stop posting useless comments.

    33. Bukkit.small

      Creator Adrian Bjugård on October 19, 2011

      I didn't get any signed either :( Though he did have 191 items to sign, so that's understandable hehe.

      Creator Yuki Kawasaki on October 19, 2011

      Thanks Man, got mine today they look nice, none of them were signed by im happy XD it was a long wait but worth it. Keep up the good work.

      Creator DLB on October 19, 2011

      So when I'm going to get my stuff? Looks like the higher your pledge was, the slower shipping you are going to get....And of course no response to messages....Very unprofessional....

      Just recevied them! They look amazing! and handle very well!

      Got them and they looked great, thanks Russell!

    41. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on October 7, 2011

      Many credit cards were declined.
      I changed my post-Kickstarter price due to the fact I has to buy more decks because Bicycle raised their minimum order amount.
      If anyone would like tor discuss this further, please continue this in PM's.

    42. Missing_small

      Creator Mr. A. on October 7, 2011

      Nicholas, yes it does change the value. It changes it tremendously in terms of resale. The Bicycle Playing card custom market is booming. Just like art, which this is, the number of the edition is very important to collectors and those who value them. I bought in at the $500 level x 2 for resell, a $1000 dollar investment. They number printed and the advertising on this project is untrue. The comments about extra decks being available because credit cards were rejected is untrue. The claims of a minimum resell of $9 after KickStarter is untrue. Maybe you don't mind because you bought q few decks, I wouldn't either if I only bought a few.

      Creator The Great Lazarus on October 7, 2011

      Thank You For The Amazing Decks & God Bless!

      Creator Nicholas Rivera on October 6, 2011

      Got my cards today and they look great! Very pleased with the quality and the texture on the cards is a great touch. Trying to resist ordering a print of one of the face cards right this second! Great job Russell!

      @Mr. A - If you felt you were getting a good value for what you were paying why does that change just because he was able to print more? Stop being so self-entitled and enjoy the cards you got at a great price.

    45. Img_0175.small

      Creator Brett Hodgson on October 5, 2011

      Ha! I got 5 decks for only $25. Looks like it's better than spending $50 w/ shipping from his website. I'm glad I got my decks on kickstarter... I don't see the problem here.

    46. Russ%20icon.small

      Creator Russell Kercheval on October 5, 2011

      Decks are available for 8 each if you buy 1 deck. If you buy more than 72 decks the price lowers to $5 each. I delivered exactly what was promised in your backer reward. I am sorry you feel the way you do, everyone on Kickstarter got the best deal. I do appreciate all of my backers, without you this would not be possible.

      Creator Mr. A. on October 5, 2011

      I FEEL CHEATED and LIED to, they printed 5,000 decks, not limted to 2,500 as promised. They also promised retail price no less than $9 after KickStarter but you can buy them on their website for $5. I thought Kickstarters were getting a special deal for backing the project?

      Creator Mustard on October 4, 2011

      I recieved my deks yesterday, smell fresh off the printers.

      Look great, 110% satisfied.

      Got my uncut sheet today... still awaiting my Decks and Framed Card and can't wait. It looks great!
