almost 5 years ago
– Thu, May 30, 2019 at 09:49:31 PM
Hello,
hope you are happy and having a good day! It is a holiday today in France so perfect to work on the project.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : SURVEY : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
First of all, just after sending this update I will send the survey (via Backerkit), so some info :
The email will come from Backerkit (not kickstarter) and will provide you with a link to your survey.
There you can
- specify which pledge you choose during the camp.
- switch to a different pledge if you want to
- add additional items at Kickstarter prices.
- provide your shipping address details. You will be able to update/change it later, in case you're moving to another location.
You have until June 14th the fill in your survey but please consider to complete it AS SOON AS YOU GET IT.
Well check if it does not arrive in your spam folder, and please consider you WILL NOT fill in your address in Kickstarter but only on Backerkit.
If you have any question please use private messages on kickstarter or email at [email protected]. Please comments only for .... comments ;) !
: : : : : : SWITCH YOUR PLEDGE LEVEL : : : : : : : :
You may want to switch to a pledge level. If you you have to choose that before going further on Backerkit. After click on the link in the mail and identify you, you have a small link under the "GET STARTED" green button. Please consider that if you did early birds pledge at first you can not switch to another early bird pledge.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : THE COINS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
I am working on the design of the coins, as you may see a little different for what I share during the campaign. I send these first design to production company to see if it is possible to have the quantity of details ! You can add on coins in the backerkit survey or choose the box set edition which come with 100 or 200 options ! I will send final design as soon as I am happy with it.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : THE BOX SET UPGRADE : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
As you may remember, it was when doing test prints of the first edition with printing studio that I get the idea of this new edition. And we did a lot of tests with different hot foils, even strange ones as dark blue ! I have all these unfolded tests prints, and I will be happy to add one in each box set. They will be sent randomly, one by box and they cannot be purchased separately.
UPGRADE TO BOX SET EDITION TO GET an unfolded test print
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : UNCUT SHEETS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
Some of you add them during the campaign, but it easier to choose which one you may want on Backerkit. Also, the exclusive Kickstarter edition UNCUT SHEET is also available.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : OTHER ITEMS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
My previous products are also available in the Backerkit : previous edition of the Ephemerid, the wood edition box set (very few left), letterpress calendars and letterpress coasters... Please consider if you order them here you will only get them when the new edition is ready and shipped. If you want them now, check my web site www.mrcup-shop.com
That's all for now, enjoy the day and thank again for being part of this journey !

Now and then, some infos...
almost 5 years ago

After the crazy weeks of the campaign, it is a strange feeling to come back to a normal life ! Here are some important informations.
Funds
As soon as the campaign has ended, kickstarter charged your credit card. But sometime it fails for varied reasons. It means that Kickstarter will try again in a few days. Kickstarter will send you a mail with the steps to follow if you need to update your card information or add a different one.
It is important that this is solved in the next 7 days, as after that your pledge will be considered as cancelled.
Next Steps with Backerkit
I decided to use Backerkit because the high number of backers and the great experience I have with them for previous campaigns.
How it works ?
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so I have the money to make the rewards (the funds will arrive in 2 weeks).
After that, I’ll send out a BackerKit survey to know what you pledged for, what you added, and addresses.
I’ll give you another update when I send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. With Backerkit it will be super easy to purchase add-on items.
So now we just have to wait ! I will share new designs and updates as soon as possible.
Ephemerid first edition
A lot of you asked about the first edition of the decks. I will put them as add-ons on Backerkit, so you can add them to your pledge. BUT it means you will have to wait that the new edition is produced to get them. If you want to order them before that they are available on my shop www.mrcup-shop.com
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Enjoy life !
300% stretch goal : the new Silver on white deck exclusive to Kickstarter !
almost 5 years ago
– Sun, May 05, 2019 at 08:39:02 AM
The 300% stretch goal has been reached ! I am please to present a 4th edition to the family ! Here is the silver and black hot foil on white paper. This special deck will be exclusive to Kickstarter and later only available in the box set edition. It won't be available alone or on whole sale.
How to get this new edition ?
You can just update your pledge and add 20€ or upgrade to the new pledge with the 4 decks. Look for this button and do the upgrade. No posts costs extra !
IMPORTANT :
>> if you pledge with any early bird price, just add 20€ to not lose your special price.
>> this new edition will now be included in the box with coins edition, no need to change anything.
>> if you want more than 1 deck, the price is 20€ by deck so just do your maths ...
>> if you pledge for 3 decks (non early bird) you can upgrade to 4 decks.
Next stretch goals !
The next goal of 350% will bring you a special sleeve for the 3 decks ! Maybe the 4 depending of the success of this new edition.
The 400% goal will unlock 3 new coins ! For now here is a better version of the design of the 1/5/10 which are included in all the coins set. The dealer coin will be black and is included with pledges with coins...
