Thank you so much!
As I said... Final product always better than the renderings!

Not final. Wait to see the Embossing.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough

I have money burning a hole in my pocket. Help me Lotrek.

Tomorrow is gone, Lotrek

I am working on two product pages. Expect a 48-hour pre-sale around Monday late afternoon with a surprise. He wanted to have these ready first, just put in two 12+ hour days.

Lotrek will fill in the details tomorrow. It's already well past midnight in Greece.

Okay. Just remember that we know his decks can sell out quickly, so some of us are on pins and needles waiting and checking. Notice of a delay is helpful. BTW, if anyone has a Sacred Oath deck they don't mind parting with...I would be interested. I was reading the comments when that was announced. I wish I had found this site back then.

Guys and gals, sorry for the delay, I was for 2 days all day in the factory cutting the LITURGY and Grotesk Black Gold decks which are shipping this week… I need to take some photos of the AMBASSADORS decks before I make the announcement later today but as Mike said, these will be available on Monday afternoon US time. All the details in a while

Bradius: there are a few ICONS Sacred Edition decks still available from UCdecksales.com

The pricing is much simpler than what I was thinking, but I will let Lotrek post the details.

There will be a 48-hour pre-sale on UCdecksales starting at 5PM Eastern (NYC) time Monday. The details will be posted shortly.

AMBASSADORS Collector's Edition Presale

There are 2+1 Editions of the deck that will be available for preorder on Monday, October 9 at 5:00pm EDT exclusively from UCdecksales.com for 48 hours. During this period, you’ll have the chance to get the decks with FREE shipment worldwide!



Ambassadors Black: 450 decks, printed on graphite metallic stock with gold foil on the backs. 250 available for preorder
Ambassadors Red: 450 decks, printed on red metallic stock with gold foil on the backs 250 available for preorder
Ambassadors Platinum: 100 decks, printed on graphite metallic stock with matte silver foil on the backs. All available for preorder
Despite the limited quantity, UC members will have the privilege of getting Platinum Edition at exactly the same price with the red and black editions. After the presale the price of any unsold decks will go up dramatically and will be available to anyone. I haven’t announced it anywhere else and the sale of this particular item will be undercover during the presale. The Platinum decks will become available one hour earlier, @ 4:00pm EST and you will be given here a link to the deck's page in UCdecksales site.

The price for all editions is $38/deck shipped worldwide. For the first 24 hours the limit is 4 decks of each edition (black or red) per person and 2 decks per person for the Platinum edition.
Shipment will begin on Friday 20 October, a few days after the "official" sale. Printing is completed and I’m only waiting for the tucks to be cut and glued and the decks to be assembled –which is pretty much a routine job.

AMBASSADORS is the first deck in my STANDARD SERIES, featuring my own take on the classic courts and the designs will be continuously evolving, in an effort to achieve what I would call "the perfect design" -if there is such a thing.

Thank you!

Thanks for all the Information. 38$ is less then i expected for those beauties.

You know I'll be there

I’m in for all 3! They’re all great but I gotta say I REALLY like the Red one

Oh, I am in too. Thanks for taking the time to update us. I wasn't expecting three decks, but neither was I expecting that price point. You must be improving your processes. I just got a couple of triple deck cases and now know what I am putting in at least one of them. Lots of hard work Lotrek, and we appreciate it!

OK, now that the cat is out of the bag, I can give you a little more information.

Monday, at 4PM, the link / URL to the secret sale will be posted here, and only here. At 5PM the two versions of the Collector's Editions (red & black) will unhide itself on UCdecksales, also (250 of each) are available exclusively on UCdecksales for 48 hours.

During that first hour, members here will have exclusive access to the pre-sale, and even after 5, only people who have found that link here will be able to get to the UC ("Platinum") Edition series of 100 decks. (the 100 deck edition will not be visible even in the "Decks for Sale" list on UCdecksales - ever.

How long will the delivery take after buying these decks (to Sydney)? I will be moving to another address Jan next year..
Just to ensure that these decks are all ready to ship?

All my self-funded projects were delivered in time and the same goes for this. Shipping begins on Friday 20 October.

Really appreciate the UC member "early bird" access Mike and Lotrek! I was concerned about the 5 p.m. sale that Lotrek has been posting on his social media hoping to get the black & red pair. Now I feel safer at my chance at all 3.

Not exactly, Rich... At 4:00pm will open the UC Platinum edition only. The black and red decks will become available at 5:00pm.

Ok, thanks for clarification. I hope 2 separate orders doesn't affect your shipping the decks out.

Lotrek you're always giving me problems!!!!

"Should I get one of each or two of each? Should I get two platinums and one of the other two? Should I get up to the 10 deck maximum of all three?"

Is there a maximum amount to buy? Can I buy more than 2 decks?

peterhonghong wrote:Is there a maximum amount to buy? Can I buy more than 2 decks?

Maximum 2 Platinum, 4 each of Black and Red (10 total).

Let's not be greedy so everyone can get at least 1 of each if they want them.

That's correct for 24 hours - to give everyone an equal opportunity and chance to get some.

At 4PM tomorrow for the "UC / Platinum" dsck, and one hour later for the other two (Red & Black) the limit gors to double. Only 250 out of the 450 printed can be bought from the pre-sale.

Don't you mean today, Monday, Mike?

So where's this link?
