Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys
over 7 years ago – Tue, Dec 11, 2018 at 11:03:47 PM

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that this Saturday the surveys will be sent out. The surveys are through Backerkit and so be sure to look for it in your email. We will not close the surveys down until after the first of the year and will give you plenty of notice on when we are going to. Please remember that we can’t send you your rewards and/or add-ons if you don’t fill out the survey.

Also we hoping to receive the physical proofs soon, so expect an update with pics when those arrive.

That’s all for now! -Mike

Where we're at..
almost 8 years ago – Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 05:40:44 PM

Quick update on where things are at. 

 We received the funds this week and things are officially underway. Expert has received all of our files for the cards and brick box and we approved the digital proofs. The physical proofs are next and when those come in, we will takes some pics, so that everyone can see. 

Surveys!

We've received several questions about the surveys, which means there's probably more of you wondering what our plan is. We have started setting up Backerkit and the surveys will be sent out from there. We're expecting to send them out in December. We will NOT close the surveys until after the New Years. This means that credit cards won't be charged for new add-ons until then. We will also send out an update prior to opening Backerkit to give everyone a heads up to look for the surveys.  There will also be a couple of reminders prior to closing the surveys. This should give everyone plenty of time to update their info prior to closing down the surveys and sending the files to Gamblers for shipping. 

As always, let us know if you have any questions!

THANK YOU!

34 days later and here we are! Randy and I can't thank you all enough for supporting our second collaboration and making it a success. EPCC has received the files for all 3 decks, the brick box and the seal for the limited edition POLLOCK: Borderless. So with everything officially set in motion, we need your help. Kickstarter only gives you 7 days to be sure that your information is correct and we just need you to make sure that it is- that's it! We will be sending out a Backerkit survey soon, but will send out an update with some info about the survey. If you have any questions, feel free to send a pm. Again, thank you all for helping bring this project to life!

Lastly, if you're looking for another unique deck, check out Omega Playing Cards from Galaxy Designs.

Final Week
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 06:49:31 PM

As we've entered the last week of the campaign, we want to remind everyone about the custom brick box still being available to anyone that has any combination of 12 decks. We also have some early bird trio and duo bricks that have opened up in addition to a few other early birds in the lower pledge tiers. 

In a couple days the files will be sent to EPCC. Randy is putting the finishing touches on the Limited Edition Pollock: Borderless deck. They are limited to 1000 and will never be reprinted! So the campaign is the easiest way to assure that you collect the full Pollock: Trio at the lowest price. 

Expect another update later this week, but in the mean time... Check out

Couple of things
almost 8 years ago – Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 10:01:38 PM

Just wanted to drop a quick update about where things are at in the campaign and answer some questions.

Early Birds

There are some early birds that have become available! Get'em before they're gone! 

POLLOCK: Trio
POLLOCK: Trio

POLLOCK: Borderless

As most of you know, we've released the Borderless Limited Edition for the campaign. Usually we would have sent all the files to Expert as soon as we were funded, but we weren't expecting it take off like it has and hadn't even thought of doing a third deck!  Randy is finishing up the faces for the Borderless and the seal design and once that is complete, we will send all the files to Expert to get the production process jump-started. 

Shipping 

We looked into the EU shipping options and the most cost effective method is to continue with having Gamblers ship all the pledges out to everyone. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. 

52 Plus Joker

Over the next several days members of 52 Plus Joker will be meeting up in Cleveland, Ohio. It will take place at Holiday Inn Strongsville and if you're in the area then you should definitely check it out. You'll have a chance to meet designers, collectors, playing card companies (USPCC, EPCC, Cartamundi) and Murphy's Magic will be there as well. Well worth checking out.

That's all we have for right now. We'll be sure to update everyone on when the files are sent and anything else that comes up. Thanks for supporting us and making this campaign such a success! 

Cheers,

Mike
