No. Backers had a discount code but it is no longer valid.

Did not buy in KS, to many decks at that time.

Anyone knows a discount code that I can put for the Pre-Order? :D
Caramelo, send me an email at anthony@kardify.com and I'll get it taken care of for you :D

Here's another peek....

I'd love to have one of the LE uncuts but I can't spend that much on LPCC uncut.

I am really disappointed that the coin never got unlocked. That would've looked amazing with the rest of my coins.

Just a quick update, all rewards will be out by Wednesday :D

We have about 5 or 6 with address issues we're taking care of, but otherwise all smooth sailing.

What kind of stock was used for tuck box of the Limited Edition? From the picture it looks like it has a metallic shine to it. :)

Got mine on Saturday, looks AMAZING! Excellent job on these. I'm especially impressed because this is a theme and style I usually wouldn't go for, but this was executed so well I couldn't turn it down. Also, that gaff card is interesting, don't remember hearing about that, but I wasn't paying that close of attention. If only I was a magician. :lol:

The tuck stock had 2 sides, outer side is shiny pearl metallic, and the inner side is matte brown. We use the same stock for the Collector Box as well :)

Definitely one of those things that you just have to see "in person" to appreciate!

I agree with Mike, you need to have the decks in your hands to appreciate them.
I only pledged for one set in the campaign.
I want more!

Wait. I pledged for the Mixed Hex, but I don't remember seeing anything about a marked deck. I also did just looked at the Kickstarter page and didn't see anything about this. Please post a link where you mentioned that it was a marked deck.

This is from the campaign main page. :P

Printed by Legends Playing Card Company at the highest quality stock with Legends 'Diamond Finish'
Both decks are 100% Customized
Unique Marking System on the Standard Edition

TL:DR It's completely up to you.

On the main page, where it shows the "Features" in bullet format: 5th one down reads "Unique Marking System on the Standard Edition".

Me, too, in general, although after trying to figure out Sharps (and discovering that the problem isn't the marking system, the problem is I can't bloody see the marks. Stupid old age, grumble, grumble, going blind, grumble) I'm keen to have the cheat sheet *just in case*. Heh.

With my poor vision I often use magnification. I can't see the Sharps marks either. :x

That's not a marking system, that's a straight giveaway. Lol.

Edit: this definitely a different marking system than I've seen before. Probably would be a good deck for beginners to use.

I got 211/500. I like how you can open the tucks without ruining the seals. These are up there with Origins. LPCC decks are no problem to me.

Absolutely THE nicest standard edition decks from either "big" maker. You have to see them, pix just don't fully convey the feel & quality. The Limited Edition deck is in the league with Origins / Grail decks. They are just that good, and in presentation pairs, hard to beat as an investment.
