Hey Everyone,
I hope you all had a great Christmas!
I thought the hardcopy proofs would be finished up a couple weeks ago, but the printer is still working on them. I love the quality of Legends’ Taiwan printer, but they’re preproduction timeline is getting longer seems to get longer with each project. I’m communicating with Lawrence Sullivan, owner of Legends, each week. He’s trying his hardest to get the printer on track.
We’re still in great shape to make the April shipping ETA. If I’m able to approve the hardcopy proofs in early January, the Decks would be on the schedule to print in mid-February, and then arrive in the U.S. around mid-March.
I’ll make another Update with info and photos, as soon as the hardcopy proofs finally arrive.
thanks, Randy

SLOTS PLAYING CARDS
Another of my designs, with my buddy Mike Wilson, is in it’s last week of funding.
The SLOTS Decks are inspired from original slot machines and uses their symbols as a backdrop to our custom casino names and designs. The first slot machine in 1887 was the Liberty Bell and we have chosen that as our hero deck in the series. The Liberty Bell Casino deck is accompanied by the Wicked Leprechaun Casino deck and Lucky 7 Casino deck. Casino-style Decks with class!
