Would LOVE to have these... but $31 for a deck of cards is pretty steep. Is a large chunk of that just covering the costs of producing such a small batch?
AchillesPDX, Yeah, pretty much. It's a specialty item made independently. If we printed 100,000 of these things maybe we could sell them at $5, but how to sell that many of anything I have no idea. Not without Walmart anyway. The cards are oversized with a heavy duty box though. Much better quality than you'd see with something mass produced.
just got mine in the mail. better than i expected, big cards. mexico is still my fav. haiti and romania r a little spooky lol. Love em. may get another set if they hang around very long. thanks
Mine just came in the mail today! Absolutely love them. They turned out great. They're really funny and so well done. I really like the packaging as well. Hats off to you and Josh.
I got them! I got them! They are FANTASTIC and delightful and I really should have bought 2 so that I can have a backup for when I wear these ones out :D I can't possibly pick a favourite (India? Thailand? Greece??), but South Africa brought me unexpectedly to tears (my home country). The South Pole is a hoot and Bermuda Triangle made me laugh out loud for real.
Thank you so much for packaging the deck well enough to withstand the journey to the frozen North! As others have said, totally worth it.
Hi Bill, I'm Fernando Vicente, a spanish pin up illustrator. I love your work. I have a pin-up playing card too. Would you like to make an exchange?

Bought these at comic con, but you weren't there to sign them! Josh suggested I mail them to you, haha.
ReplyDeleteNice to see them online though! I'm still considering another set.... I was going to get two, but ran out of money back at SDCC.
Bought my pack earlier, are you signing them? that would be awesome!!! If not how much to have you sign the box?
ReplyDeleteJust bought them! Seems like I've been checking every other day since SDCC to see if they were for sale yet! Finally!
ReplyDeletePurchased!! Yay. Thanks for putting these up for those of us who couldn't get to SDCC. I've been hanging out.
