Holographic (not really 😜) Fontaines by fontainecards

[Harvonsgard]

Next stop of the diffraction foil hype train (tschu, tschu ) - fontaines...

[Eric Lee]

Let's see how limited it's going to be. NOCs at least applied it to both front and back. Yo, Zach, take a look at NOCs and learn from them! Don't be lazy and go the extra step.

[Harvonsgard]

2,500 print run or like tin foil hats would say more than 2,500. Standard faces jokers have foil on the front.
Dunno what is funnier to tell someone having his own business with people on payroll not being lazy or that he should take notes from Riffle Shuffle and/or Alex Pandrea ...

[PiazzaDelivery]

LMAO

Also, let this be a note for lotusinhand Solid as well XD. I don't know the courts for that deck yet, but it it's standard, then it's just as same as this.

But I guess the snob will never learn :/
Just take a look on the neon color series, yet the courts still the same as ever...

[Eric Lee]

Having said that, I really love the current direction Zach is taking with his collabs. Those are really cool and wouldn't mind adding some of those in my Fontaine collection (yes, I have a few Fontaines) .

So I probably should have included the earlier sentence in my earlier post as to why I feel that way by the Holo Fontaines. That's the one that started it all and yet Alex SEEMS to have doing more with his OG deck brand recently than Zach is doing.

Fontaines trailing behind NOC... That's new for sure!!

Careful, you might trigger the cardistry bois to roast where you stand at XD especially those who worships lotusinhand

[Decknowledgy]

What's interesting is, the decks are printed by Legends Playing Card Co!

Just for this reason alone, I'm in.
The holographic foil looks very different from Cartamundi's and USPCC's.

Gotta say I love how they did this drop, I had forgotten about it and figured I missed out. If this had been released the usual way I can bet that the resell price would have been unreal lol

[laitostarr777]

Do my eyes deceive me? It has been four hours since release and they haven't sold out?!
And damn I managed to get one!
EDIT: I just realized it was a PreOrder. Guess it is nothing to be proud off

[Eric Lee]

Wow, he finally did a pre-order. Something Chris Ramsay did since his V1 decks! 15k decks printed and are now going for around $100 . Wish he starts doing more of this pre-orders for the collab decks! He can keep his OG deck at 10k or below as that's his brand.

Now if only more of the hype brands start doing pre-orders as well for their best designs or collabs. That's a trend I would love to see being picked up.

Also that cuts out the fees associated with platforms like KS making it more profitable for the creator. If it is a well known brand, I feel this would be a better option for all of us.

[laitostarr777]

Don’t be like that A1WW who opens preordered decks in December 2020, only for when the promised date March 2021 is reached, instead of fulfillment of the preordered decks, new releases shows up.
Then no apologizing, no words, nothing :/

[laitostarr777]

Well, I don't usually update stuffs of hype cards, yet I just make sure the news get to many people

So.. this is the update: it has been printed, decks will be ready very soon

I hate Fontaine decks. Why did I buy a deck of these. I was weak

[Harvonsgard]

It's OK, they're shiny.

[laitostarr777]

Well, we have to admit, Holographic foil is like a magnet for us to grab it, no matter what brand it is XD

speak for yourself lol. none of these brands will ever be purchased by me. no matter the amount of shiny foil. at least some in here can realize these brands are ridiculous even if they bough them.

[Harvonsgard]

Zach is pretty wealthy due to his brand yet he lives rent free in your heads.

[STLBluesNut]

it is lol. although i never think of him, just how crap the designs are when i see them.

[Entaro]

I'm such a sucker for the shiny

[hsbc]

They are SO SHINY I may have to get a deck.....

You have a strong will! That's good
It's better to completely stay away rather than decide to have one or two and then without you knowing, you start to after all of the others. Getting hyped decks are addiction within addiction

[bdawg923]

Got and opened my deck today. The quality is pretty bad imo. The box is dented near the flap. It was protected well so I'm guessing it happened during production. That's a minor issue compared to the cards themselves. The foiling looks nice and rainbow-y, but the issue is when I look at the faces of the cards, I can see the Fontaine f and the border outline through the card. Like whatever process they used to get the f on the back of the card basically left it embossed on the front. And it shows on the face of every card.

R'n'D finaced by collectors . Praised be the gods that I'm allergic to diffraction foil.

Unfortunately that's what it feels like. IIRC he said it's their first Holo deck like this, but I assumed they already tested it and now it looks like this was the test run.

[laitostarr777]

Strange though
In the trailer, the cards looks fine. Or maybe the trailer is a clever trick to conceal the problem?

[Harvonsgard]

Sometimes a problem only occurs in bigger runs .
