But it was the only logical decision to make once we knew that those decks were not perfect, and it was a decision I made without much hesitation. We take quality very seriously - nothing matters more to us.
In this case, the easiest fix would have been to just let it slide - but we refused to settle for anything less than perfect. So we made the decision to tweak the design and reprint the ENTIRE run.
What you will see on
11/11 will be perfect.
From your email earlier:
"Congratulations! If you're receiving this message, you were one of only 111 people who are lucky enough (and fast enough!) to snatch up a pre-release deck of Monarch Playing Cards.
Some details about the deck you'll be receiving:
It's the best we've ever done. Printed at The United States Playing Card Company using imported papers, metallic inks, and stunning, elegant artwork.
The deck represents the pinnacle of playing card design and manufacturing today. They're the
most elite playing cards
ever produced."
So, the deck was simultaneously "not perfect" and "the best we've ever done...the pinnacle".
While claiming rarity was not the intent, you certainly go out of your way to point out "They are the most rare decks we have ever produced."
No - I do not trust you or any "promises" you make. I think everybody here understand the ridiculous amount of hype that accompanies every release, but this goes beyond that.
Further, can you stop saying "111 people". I know some people who got 3 decks. If everyone got 3 decks it would actually be 37 people.
