This review has a lot of lovely detail and I appreciate all the small things Kevin put into the deck to represent Gutenberg’s life. That being said, I am not personally a fan of the court art and some of the design decisions feel off to me. That being said, it shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying this beautiful deck if it fits their collecting style! Thanks for showcasing another deck for us.
First off, thank you for a phenomenal review. I really appreciate not only the detail shown but the history you were willing to tell along with the deck. Happy to see some negative comments around the deck, hopefully that means my chances of scooping some are higher 😂 cheers!
I was wondering if the 1000 will sell out in minutes, crash the website or anything, but from the looks of it there's not thousands of engagements (likes, comments) on a single post about this deck. I wish there's no surprises during the presale and I'll be able to catch one. If not, then my debit card will be happy.
He's the producer - which means he takes on all the production side of things - ensuring the items are manufactured effectively and shipped to buyers. Omar (TGW) is also taking on some of the advertising and selling aspects of the project. Kevin Cantrell meanwhile is the artist who created the deck's artwork and concept. Many artists prefer to partner with someone for logistics, and many would be creators do not have the artistic talent for the creation side, so partnerships like this are common!
I wish there were other options to get this deck. Just this wooden box set and that's it! I know they will sell out due to the 1000 limit. This might be the deck that got away for me. Oh well....can't win them all I guess.
@@OzyTheLast I ended up buying one. I can always sell the box, coin and one of the decks later...as long as there a need for an incomplete set at a discounted price.
I definitely have to disagree with you. The art style on decks like Tavern On the Green and Tom's Town is completely different from the art style on this deck, Successor, or LotR.
I get it Max. Every good artist I know has a definite style that can be distinguished by someone familiar with their work. There are a few artists like Jackson Robinson, that can put out a lot of different styles, but even with Jackson, I can probably pick out his work. Almost every other playing card artist has a fairly fixed style. I can understand why someone can get to a saturation point. For me, I like his stuff and this specific subject enough to want to pick it up. I am also a huge fan of Gutenberg and old printing. I used to collect pages of printed books from pre-1500. I think my earliest page is from the late 1460's.

Who is the gentleman wake exactly? Is he the designer ? I don't really understand what he does

Sick cards

Mhm, it's pretty but I only want to spend my money on one deck, not a 'collectors set'

Nice review but all of Cantrell's decks look the same to me. Got that cookie cutter riffle shuffle look. Definitely strongly dislike it
I have never had that sense at all. The basic form has some similarities, but the detailing and intentionality is a cut above for me.
I definitely have to disagree with you. The art style on decks like Tavern On the Green and Tom's Town is completely different from the art style on this deck, Successor, or LotR.
@@mattmcmadden1933 I can easily tell a Cantrell deck. They just don't stand out I guess. They're all kinda the same to me I dunno why

Curiously, please explain how the Oscars Playing cards by T11 and Goldsmith playing cards look anything alike.
