Black Market by Thirdway

[Cardamon]

The market is evolving
Also just received my two decks of the original can’t wait to run a black light thru it.

[Bradius]

Whatever you do, don't use a black light on that deck!

That is how they track you....dang.....got to go......

[Bradius]

For those non-patrons out here, I will just mention that Gio just issued us a post that let us know that his Black Market deck is nearly sold out. If you are wanting the deck, you might want to consider making the move soon.

A second edition, though........

haha figured, if something is a fan fav/hit product, you of course make a v2/second edition/variant etc.

Absolutely! In my head, Black Market was a possible series to extend from the start, but when I saw it sold that quick despite it was released on my website (where sales are usually slower than Kickstarter) and the password lock, I decided to do a V2 few days after the release of the "original"

I prefer keep the V2 (Black Market Digital) preview a "Patreon" exclusive, but I can reveal it will have a combo of uv ink + neon ink + metallic ink and it's inspired by... "internet"

[laitostarr777]

Theres a V2?!
Okay, then count me in!

"Black Market - Dark Web" MMDW - It rollls off the tongue, just say'n.

Black Market - Silk Road hmmmm maybe a collab with Lotrek. We might see it in 2025?

"Black Market - Dark Web" MMDW - It rollls off the tongue, just say'n.

Black Market has already some vague references to dark web - never explicit, though, since I wanted to do something funny, crazy and a little malicious, without endorse real "bad" stuff

A fun trivia: I kept name "Black Market" unofficial and I have asked GW to NEVER write it anywhere.
In fact, the deck is listed with the name "Project BM". Knowing how solicitous custom officers of certain countries are, I didn't want get them an excuse to block my packages.
The name of the deck is hidden into the flap for this reason too

[STLBluesNut]

so that is what i have been doing wrong? whenever i sell something on the black market i always but it on the package so the receiver knows it was their black market package. no wonder it never gets there. i thought they were just trying to get free stuff.

I sadly miss this one when I got the window
Because of some kid who decides it is a good idea to scam using hype brands

[rousselle]

laitostarr777, I don't know if you're *from* Indonesia or simply *in* Indonesia, so I don't know if you'll get this reference, but those of us who grew up on Saturday morning cartoons in the U. S. who are of a certain age will recall the phrase:

I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

[STLBluesNut]

great pics as usual, but come on man. the seal specifically said don't open.

[hsbc]

the seal specifically said don't open.

That means "open ASAP" to me

But... but there is a smiley face on the seal as well! Doesn't that mean it's just a joke and it's meant to be opened?

Is it me or does UV ink slowly bleeds away in time. I got my Black Market Digital, go have fun with the UV light, and compare both versions under the UV light - I notice that my OG Black Market's UV artwork starts to become hardly refine, like it is slowly blurs away

Is it because I got the defect one - the inconsistencies of USPCC printing OR it is true that UV artwork ink starts to just blur away over time?
It is so hard to explain what I meant, and so hard to show them with photos since its hard to take.

I'm having the same problem! Blurriness under my UV flashlight. The YouTube reviewer I watched when they first started shipping had sharp and crystal clear details! Maybe the UV flashlight I own isn't strong enough to capture the effects efficiently. Or like you, I got a deck from the defective batch. I didn't buy mine directly from the maker.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I got mine from Gio's site
when they released and the ink now looks kind of muddy. One of my disappointments with the Patreon this year was getting 3 more versions of this deck. I like it, but the 1 I already had was enough. If the ink is going to muddy like this, that's even more frustrating.
