Sometimes we have to limit ourself. LOL

BTW, I have three winners (IG contest), but I don't have time to send prototypes. Winners are Romeril, Decknowledgy, Timmargh Tim is catching all possible limited awards offered by other designers! Some of his decks are rare.  All of you should agree about ONE COLOR (ANY), and I'll print this limited deck (without foil) for you.

hm...

But I like it. The only problem - costs. All background colors are different on courts, completely different colors on the back. But those three looks very well as a set. It's even better than two green + one yellow.

I am even ready to produce the original back later. Four decks in one campaign are too many. Any ideas?

I'll ask Cartamundi IF I can use the same foil patter for all three, but print different decks to share setup costs. It's a big question.

You mean the three of us should agree on one color?
If it were possible, I'd go with the rare Mint color
But if purple is the more plausible option, I'm fine with that as well haha

The purple is awesome. I can't think of many purple decks off hand, except for colored Riderbacks of course.

Cartamundi received my new request for a new quote. :mrgreen: We have two options - to print three colors in one style or to print two green and one yellow.

All three winners want purple. But they are not the only :lol:

I'll show some new 3D with courts (wip) and boxes (wip). I am not sure about background elements on courts, wip.
Courts rendered without foil. If we print all three in one style, we can use a different (less saturated) tone of green.

p.s. I use the modified White Tiki KoS head in this design.

I like the 3 colors, 1 style. Maybe other style could be released in a future campaign as I like it too.

Thank you so much, I'm so excited! It's true that I've been lucky with some rare decks including two (soon to be three) one-offs.

Would never dream of selling them; they're too precious.

Maybe! :twisted:

You should probably offer this technology to USPCC/Cartamundi. I don't know how it works. I think that using dies to apply an artwork is one of the main issues in this technology. If you find how to use it in the same way as cold foil, it will instantly reduce your costs. One of the most critical parts of it - decks should be produced under one roof (with climate control, etc.) Otherwise its a risk.

p.s. I don't understand how to offer at least two decks and price them below $20 :D Diffractorized, and they will be super expensive :roll:

I am waiting for some updates to my quote. Most likely, next week (99%). I'll post the date at least one day in advance.

On Instagram, some of my followers commented about this "purple" color. It's almost blue. And I agree - it will be blue when printed (similar to NEO).

Here is another test. I like it as it's far from being blue.
