K, I am not sure if I got my decks ordered or not, I clicked a back button on paypal and it said something about instant transfer complete!! I still don't know if I have the new account number put on paypal or not And I was trying to pay by credit card.
Argggg, I will keep an eye on this, Paypal wont let me change account information until after the transfer is complete. But I already have two 1.00 withdrawals showing form Paypal this morning.
I guess I should have remembered to fix this beforehand, but its looking like my bank has once again helped me out and tied the accounts together
My order is in. 20 decks for my non-Fiero friends & family.

I believe you will be happy with a least one, if not several, of the selections. It is one that is close to my heart, but not close to me right now. I was thinking 6 decks after taxes are done, thats if the State of Minnesota doesn't take it all.

Ditto, got our 8 decks ordered and paid for... well, credit card wise anyway... lol.. can't wait to see Max's ZR2 (Sno'ball) on one of those cards... hope he's an Ace or something... But I'll be happy no matter what he is...

Just to give everyone an update on the playing cards. The files are complete and will be sent to the printer on Friday, April 18, 2008. 2 weeks ahead of schedule. So be sure to get your pre-orders in. There will be plenty at the 25th Anniversary show as well. I think so far we have over 125 decks sold already.
And just a reminder there were 54 cars selected from all over the US and Canada to be on this set of Fiero Playing Cards. How does 54 cars selected go in a 52 cards deck? Well we also get to put cars on the "Jokers" as well. Like I have said before all cars are submitted to the printed in 54 eps files and the printer will then throw them into his card program which will randomize the files to print.

Check into it and let us know if it will mix them around also? Or does it pick them for a card and leave it there for all decks throughout the whole run? Maybe half way thru they should change the order for fun and folks will want to find the other deck. Maybe some trading or bargaining later on hahahahaha. I think it would work. Rick B

In a printing industry, that would be too expensive..... Cost for re-layout, film(if they use), plates for press, setup time and cleaning. I know that I would not like to stop a run half way they start all over again..... Keep in mind too about registration and wasting all that paper... 200 sheets for proper alignment etc..... ink cost too. 4 color process, so it would be four setups (hour time)

Quick question before I order. There are basically 3 levels of quality of cards. 1.) Bad = paper thin, use them 4 or 5 times and they are ripped up. No coating or strength. 2.) Good = Can use them quite a bit. They have a coating on them that keeps them slick. 3.) Best = Casino cards. So....I think I will order a deck or two. BUT if they are good or best cards I will order more than 1 or 2.
How good of cards are they? Thanks.

The sample cards we received have the cards the same quality as the "Bicycle" brand cards you buy at the store. They are not as excellent as casino cards, But the same or slightly better than the "good" cards. These are actual play-quality cards.
These are not the "souvenir" cards that are for show.

We received the "Proof sheet" from the card company.
WOW !!! The cards look great!!!!
There are 54 cars (two are on Jokers) and 55 total cards. The typical fifty two cards + two jokers + the cheat sheet that tells you the poker hands. We should have a delivery date soon.

Just heard back from the company making the cards, They are about a week ahead of schedule so we may start sending out the decks earlier than previously stated. Also for those of you going to the Dells, We will have them there as well.

It is one that is close to my heart, but not close to me right now.
