Reshipping (ordering closed) Faro Dunes Cut Cards (12 Viewers)

[krafticus]

I'd be in for 2 bridge sized please

 

[Suited Connector]

I'll take 2 bridge and 2 poker.

 

[k9dr]

I would also like 2 bridge and 2 poker - thanks.

 

[extreme517]

In addition to bridge, please also put me down for 4 poker.

 

[TheOffalo]

I've updated the table in the OP with latest desired quantities. (@Roslindale @Jackstraw not sure if you've seen since you originally commented that we could potentially get the cut cards for less than $4 each, in case you want to revise your quantities.)

I will get the ball rolling with the vendor. It looks like I can order 150 poker size and 100 bridge size. What I'd like to do is have a 5% "cushion" to accommodate late-comers (and in case there are any issues with any of the cards that arrive). So I'd allocate 142 poker-size and 95 bridge-size out of the 150 and 100, respectively.

As it stands, if no other interest is expressed, and if no one else revises their order, then everyone should get their requested quantities, with @TheChipVault getting 86 poker-size cut cards to hit the 142 target.

For bridge-size, after every gets their desired/minimum amounts, there's 19 cards to allocate to hit the 95 target. For example, I could assign 10 cards to @extreme517, bringing his total to 22, and assign 9 cards to @GodStillBlesses, bringing her total to 11 (or whatever they want to work out).

If everything arrives safe and there are no takers for the 8 poker / 5 bridge "cushion" once I start reshipping, then they can go to @TheChipVault @extreme517 @GodStillBlesses.

Anyway, that's the plan for now. Will keep you posted.

 

[extreme517]

That all sounds great!

 

[GodStillBlesses]

What ever makes it easier

 

[Nuhockey]

I'd be in for two bridge and two Poker. Thanks.

 

[Schmendr1ck]

If it's not too late I'd take 2-10 poker size.

 

[ekricket]

If it's not too late I'd take 2-10 poker size.

Same for me, 2 poker size if possible, up to 10 if you need to fill out moq or something.

 

[Roslindale]

Count my order as 4 total.

2 of each style, poker sized.

Please

 

[TheOffalo]

Count my order as 4 total.

2 of each style, poker sized.

Please

It’s one cut card with a different color (white/black) on each side. Two designs in one! Do you still want to up it to 4 poker-size cut cards or keep it at 2?

For those of you who want a large quantity, like 20+, just curious why so many? Are you hosting MTTs that require using multiples? Do they get lost or stolen or worn/damaged from use and have tow replaced? Do you give them out to people?

 

[Roslindale]

Sure. Let's stay with 4 poker sized

I want a bunch as I've spent a good amount on the chips and I have been looking for cut cards in general anyhow that I can store with multiple setups in multiple chip set cases.

 

[TheOffalo]

Don't want to muddy the waters, but I guess I'm going to anyway. For the white background side, instead of a straight re-creation of the art on the dealer button (and similarly the tournament hotstamps), I was thinking I'd try to create a design based on the cash hotstamps:

I'm not interested in offering a bunch of different versions, just one option in bridge and poker, with different art on each side. We can stick with the original designs I posted in the OP (slightly tweaked since then) or I could sub in this design for just the white-background side (keeping the black-background side as is). What do people think?

I MUCH prefer this as I only have a cash set anyhow. I just didn't want to be difficult or suggest anything like this, but YES!!! (Now I want buttons and a table topper potentially using this graphic!)

I would prefer the same artwork on both sides and personally prefer the latest design. However, all three options are fine with me and will keep my order regardless. Again, thanks for making this work!

 

[DrunkleWade]

Yep, love the new design. I’d be happy with just that on both sides if possible.

 

[TheOffalo]

Made some tweaks, this is what I have right now:

I'm glad people (so far) are liking the new design, enough to prefer it be on both sides of the cut card. I'm still kind of leaning toward having a "light side" and a "dark side" (just keep the side you don't don't like face down, but don't underestimate the power of the dark side... /darthvader) for maximum flexibility and best bang for your buck!

Since we haven't used this vendor before, I really want to keep the order as simple as possible for our first run. If we love the results, we could do another printing...

I am waiting to hear back from @TheChipVault as he is purchasing the largest quantity of cut cards (and, you know, this is his property) to get his opinion. If it seems like he and others have a strong preference for this latest design on both sides, I'll go with the wisdom of the crowd.

(Everyone would be entitled to adjust their desired quantities if the design were to change, of course.)

 

[extreme517]

I'm good with any of the options...however this plays out.

I'm good with whatever is decided.

 

[TheOffalo]

I'm good with whatever is decided.

Thanks @TheChipVault. Rather trying to get consensus from everyone, I've made the executive decision to stick with offering just one cut card option, with different artwork on each side, in bridge and poker sizes, as originally planned, but using the new artwork for the "light side" (the "dark side" will remain the same).

Since you had already expressed interest while the previous two-artwork design was being offered, hopefully everyone's numbers are still good for the revised design. If anyone would like to adjust their order, though, no worries, just let me know!

I have updated the table in the OP, allocating specific quantities to those who requested a variable amount. @Schmendr1ck @ekricket @TheChipVault @extreme517 @GodStillBlesses please check your numbers and let me if you have any issues with how many cut cards you're getting.

I'll send PMs to start collecting money tonight/tomorrow. Will place the order with the vendor once I receive a decent portion of the required funds...

These are based on my recreations of the dealer button (mostly, there is one notable difference if you can spot it). I do plan on tweaking it a little more (like have the text wrap closer to the sun).

I used their website chat option to ask a rep at the vendor to get a ballpark for how much it would cost to have these made, and it looks like the minimum order of 20 cards of a particular size is $110 per size, before taxes and shipping. There is also a $40 setup fee per design. So ~$300 for 40 cut cards (20 bridge, 20 poker).

That comes out to $7.50/cut card, before taxes and shipping to me (and also not counting reshipping to you). At that cost, I'd need a commitment from folks to buy at least 16-18 cut cards a particular size before I'd have them made, so I'm not out too much money if any remaining cut cards don't sell.

We can also just wait until the next cut card group buy, which should bring the price down quite a bit (at least half or more, I'd think), but let's see how many people might be interested in these even at the higher cost!

Please comment below with how many you'd be willing to buy at, say, ~$10/cut card shipped to you (factoring in taxes, shipping to me, and reshipping to you), and how many you might buy at, say, ~$4/cut card shipped to you (as part of a group buy). These numbers are just estimates, and not final.

This is not a commitment to buy, just gathering interest for now!

Edit: Here's the current counts at a potentially lower ~$2/cut card shipped to you. (New vendor, unknown to us what their quality is like, but worth a shot at this price point.) If anyone wants to revise their count, please comment below.
