Regium Playing Cards

I kind of like these, back designs clean, courts are fun (although I much prefer the classic). Not a fan of the tucks though and slightly confused by one having 2018 on it. But hey I have probably missed something. So close to backing but not quite over the line for me. I wish it well though.

NPCC

So, I do like the antique one, but the other looks like al little too much like T11's Medallions deck.

Just backed these the other day, really liked the court designs

This is all very solid: the courts are well done, the tucks are slick, the backs work really well. As competent as this all is -- and, believe me, I'd have snapped this up in a heartbeat three years ago -- the package as a whole doesn't quite rise above the fray of so many similarly well-done decks these days. It's very good. But, as justplaycards notes above, it's just not quite over the line. I'm also a little bit worried about the low funding threshold and, well, I have no idea if NPCC has improved their handling or not. So, I won't be backing this project, but I similarly wish them well and look forward to seeing what they do in the future.

So well put Allan. It's interesting to see that this is an evolution every collector seems to make - getting pickier and pickier.

I went ahead and backed these for the EB pair the other day- -apparently I'm not yet at the "extremely picky" stage of card collecting yet.

I would say this tendency applies to almost anything. The more experience one has with something, the more their tastes tend to refine over time. One who has seen many movies is harder to impress than one who watches occasionally, and the same is generally true for video games, and even foods.

In the beginning, one rates things for which no objective standards exist solely on impressions. As more previous points of comparison become available (data), one almost inevitably starts to rate in reference to past experiences. The larger the data set, the more accurate the conclusions drawn. That is how people become critics; their tastes are so well refined that others look to them for their opinion.

In fact, if one didn't become pickier with experience in a particular area, it would almost seem to suggest some sort of cognitive failing. Of course, there can still be differences of opinion, but more well-refined opinions can normally be backed up with reasons beyond simply liking or not liking something.

[Harvonsgard]

True indeed.
