A fully custom deck of playing cards inspired by Jane Austen’s well-loved novels and characters, and rich in authentic period detail and fashion plates Miss Austen is likely to have seen herself.
The cards will be printed next week at USPC and that means they should ship by the end of the first or beginning of the second week of April from USPC to Art of Play for fulfillment. The ship time will take about a week, and fulfillment will take about another week. Thank you for your patience.
The shirts are printed and on their way to the fulfillment house. The good folks at Pan Ector Ltd. here in my home town printed them and did a very fine job. Everything else seems to be on track for a delivery in April.
Good News: I visited my t-shirt printer this morning—the terrific Pan Ector Industries in Denton, Texas. The shirts are being printed on heavy-weight (5.5 ounce) white cotton. If all goes well, I'll see a proof this afternoon and the shirts should be printed by the 23rd! I'll post images as I receive them. Very exciting!
At BackerKit's urging, I just charged for all of the add-ons many of you made, or for new orders from individuals who did not originate their pledges during the KS campaign. There are a few cards that were declined (likely because the cards may have expired in the lag time). I believe that BackerKit sends out a notice to everyone. I know most of those people, so I'll also contact you if you are in that category.
I am so pleased to announce this news. I was told that at this point I should expect the cards to ship to Art of Play at the beginning of April, and that their press is completely booked through the third week of march. But they'll see what they can do. (Turns out my contact at USPC is a big Jane Austen fan as well!)
