Progress Report
Hey Everyone,
I have been getting emails asking for an update and, while I hate doing this without substantive information that people can bank on, I'll make one so that you know I am still here and things are still moving.
USPCC has had the artwork for these decks since the day the Kickstarter ended. It was my hope and theirs that they would be able to crank out the pre-press within about a month and print the following month. As always, the best laid plans can go to waste. They have so many other decks they are working on processing it isn't even funny. It wasn't until last week that they finished all the proofs for everything. Here's the list of files they had to work on:
Black Actuators Back
Black Actuators Tuck
Black Actuators Gaff (Sliver)
Black Actuators Court Cards
Black Actuators Index Cards
Black Actuators Brick Box
Black Actuators Brick Box (inside)
White Actuators Back
White Actuators Tuck
White Actuators Gaff (Sliver)
White Actuators Court Cards
White Actuators Index Cards
White Actuators Brick Box
White Actuators Brick Box (inside)
Now the good news is, we don't have to worry about being slowed down by special paper requirements this time. However, it has taken them a lot longer to process my intricate files. They sent everything for me to proof last week and we're nearing the end of all of this. However, as I've said most times, it's just me sitting here waiting for news to share with you guys. I suppose this kind of news is better than no news and I do hope this helps put some minds at ease.
As always, if you have specific questions, you can feel free to email me directly at lance@lancetmiller.com
In the meantime I have created a new website specifically for my cards you can now go directly to http://lancemillerdecks.com to purchase more cards and accessories.

Jacob, at this point I don't think Lance wants to post a guess that might be wrong.
Creator Jacob K. on April 30, 2012
I hate to even ask but is there a time frame for shipping these out to the backers?
Creator Sam Green on April 18, 2012
Something is better than nothing Lance. =)
