Let's me dream of the super awesome (stockwise) absolute vodka playing cards. May I ask how you came up with the idea to not use black core paper stock and why?

I'm attracted to garbage.
One day I was examining a shitty tourist deck printed on velvet paper, the most hideous stock you can use for playing cards. Admiring the negative amount of craftmanship that was put in the deck, I noticed that this piece of shit had beautiful white sides. Naturally, since the stock didn't have the black core that playing card stock has and you could easily tell the value of the card holding it against the light. The contrast between the printed crap and the beauty of the white sides got me thinking: How can I make a functional deck with that beautiful feature of the snow white sides? The black core makes the sides grey while no core makes the card transluscent. The idea was to actually use the black foil as a substitute to the black core. We don't need to have that core in the middle of the card, we can have it on one of the two sides. We just need to prevent light and we can leave the borders white since there is nothing printed there to reveal the value of the card.

Simple.

Man, can you imagine if Lotrek hadn't decided to use his powers for good? He'd basically be a supervillain...

Gold on gold sold out in one minute...

Got my order of 1 of each too!

Got mine as well...

Wow, Gold on Gold already sold out Managed to grab one though

1 of each.
Saw no place to add loose cards

failed to grab one. kind of surprised...

Got one too. Order confirmation at 5:01, went back and it was sold out.

Yea, I literally hit F5, they showed up, added them both to my cart, went to PayPal and by the time it sent me back to Oath, GoG was gone and my order failed. Boo.

I ordered 1 gold on gold and 2 gold on black. Luckily I managed to get mine. Yeah, I noticed the gold on gold went fast. still a number of gold on black decks. I actually like the gold on black. I guess scarcity is still king though.

I would suggest setting up fast pay on PayPal to speed up check out. Even so, I was able to take a couple of seconds to change my shipping address. That turns out was probably dangerous, but I still managed to change my shipping address and check out on time.

I truly suspect there are bots

Same here! I was ON THE MONEY going through with my payment options and said SOLD out. I'm kind of pissed.

I got 1 of the gold on gold and 4 of the gold on black. I can't believe how quickly the gold on gold sold out, 90 in about a minute. Wow, fortunate I got my order in. I thought for sure limiting it to 1 per person would cause them to be around for a bit longer than that. I wonder if the system prevents someone from ordering more than 1. If not, is someone trying to buy more than 1?

Shit, that was intense....

That went fast, got 1 gold on gold and 2 black. That was exciting. Not sure if there are bots, it is possible 90 people were waiting for thid. I don't know

Loose cards now showing up in the Shop

I wish there were a good answer to this sort of thing, I always hate to see people miss out At least the Gold on Black is still an option?

I got 1 Gold on Gold and 5 Gold on Black . Purchased at 11:01pm (europe time). As soon as i came back from PayPal the Gold on Gold alresdy sold out

Oh Awesome, just put another order through for those.
