I’m doing the same thing. As a Broncos fan, this was the biggest reason for getting involved with the campaign. Hardly ever is there an option for Orange/blue setups!!

I only went with teal/orange. Way too many red/blue set ups everywhere and I like non-primary colors for card backs.

I only have part of your order. Only got poker size in today. Got all orange/green and only a couple red/blue. I have tracking for two boxes but based on what fit in today's MFRB (17 setups), I should have 3. We shall see.I'll be at the diner around the corner later tonight, if you want to leave mine tucked in the mailbox
It's a Friday during Lent. Kids may want breakfast for dinner, may see you there even

Would be very funny, but I'm meeting a friend after his work shift, probably not til 9:30-ish.
Color combos work out well for mix-n-match (Kraken or Hydra) although the Kraken is much better IMO.
Would be cool if there was a bright Green to mix with Red(Dragon) for Xmas games.

I might have missed it. But how are people getting tracking numbers? Through the kickstarter email?

I have informed delivery set up on my USPS account.
I understood that Jason was messaging people with their tracking numbers once they were actually mailed…
Can anyone confirm this is true?
(Can you tell I’ve not received any such message?)
Ditto, my notification/tracking info came from USPS as well.

I just set up my informed delivery on my USPS account. Still nothing. Hopefully soon.
So maybe mine actually IS in the mail and I just don’t know it?!?!
Remain patient......

Will post my initial thoughts in the morning, my PC is currently occupied by my son yelling at someone online and I'm not typing this up on my phone lol.

Shuffled these around a bit. They're Fournier cards for sure. In terms of flex, they're in the middle between the Modiano and Dal Negro printed iterations. A very small amount of texture with the stock feeling mostly smooth, but not slippery or glossy.
Red ink is the darker security red instead of bright red. The blackjack index is perfectly visible from the middle of the table but could be a tad small from opposite ends of the table for old eyes.
Excellent job on these @desjgn

What are my hole cards, who am I playing against and how many people and what’s in the pot already?!?
Thanks for the review as always! It was a good one and looking forward to getting these in hand.

Initial thoughts, after opening a few decks and messing around for a half hour or so:
Card stock: The card stock is definitely on the thicker side. Being these were made by Fournier, I compared them to the Fournier 2800 card stock. The Tapestrys are a good deal thicker - roughly 2 full cards thicker when I stack 2 decks side by side, and it's noticeable right out of the box. The overall feel is similar to the 2800s, the Tapestrys have a slightly more textured surface than the Fournier stock. They flex and riffle like a good Fournier stock, the extra texture requires a hair more effort to push the deck together after a riffle in comparison, but overall they shuffle very well. When shuffling, you get more of that scratchy sound with the extra texture - those who deal a lot will know what I'm talking about With the extra thickness, I noticed a slight tendency for the card edges to catch a bit when I gathered them after a deal and when washing.
Face design: This is easily the coolest part about these setups, they are 100% built for meetups. I think folks will find the black jack index absolutely perfect for mixed dealer's choice games, while being just large enough for those hold'em folks that are used to jumbo index. The red security ink is the perfect shade , it's a very rich crimson red that makes seeing the suits from across the table easy.
Fournier/Modiano/Tapestry/Victorian/Copag
The pips and suits are all very clear, distinguishable and easy to read, and the black jack index gave Jason more room for his awesome face card graphics to be on full display. Comparing these the Classic Victorians, extra graphic size is very noticeable in a very good way.
Back design / colors: As I mentioned prior, the colors from the two different setup colors offer the opportunity to mix and match a little, you could go blue/red, orange / teal , blue / orange and red / teal.
The back design is very nice and printed without any issues from what I can tell. Being honest, I'm a little disappointed in a couple of the colors. One of the things I loved about prior offerings is how deep and rich the back colors were on prior runs like the Classic Victorians. The red / Dragon and orange / Phoenix back colors are identical to past colors, those are both good. The hydra color in particular is really light, it's definitely more of a light teal vs the deep aqua green I was hoping for. The blue / Kraken is also a bit lighter than prior runs. The Tapestry back design has a lot of white detail/fill in comparison to past designs, and I think that plays a lot into the lighter appearance, but overall I just wish a darker aqua color was used to make them pop more.
Overall my first impression is these are beautiful, very well made cards. I bought a case primarily to run these for dealer's choice cash games at meetups, and I'm very happy with the final results. Thanks again Jason for offering these to the community!
