Because it already feels like a Nasa launch.

Not a bad idea at all. Let me put it on the list!

Adam has there been any thought on wether or not sketch puzzles might make it to the stretch goals?

I know you had mentioned there would be some tweaking that could accrue after the final pledges and add ons were announced, the one in particular I am referring to is the sketch fat pack. I just noticed that it reads 10 red sketch cards I thought that this would have a mix of the available sketch cards. This pretty much rules out the pack buyers from have any surprises in this pack as to getting a uncommon or limited sketches, I know you can't load it up but how about a mix 7 reds and 2 greens and either a creator or throw back or some other mix that you are comfortable with.
There is always sending 10 individually wrapped sketch cards in our shipment and giving the purchasers of the fat pack the same odds as box crackers of pulling a rarer card?
Thanks

My guess, based on what Adam said unthread, is that the jumbo hot packs were a way to keep the costs down. If they individually packed out the stuff, the prices would rise. I think 10 sketches for $350 is a solid deal!

The reason I went with all reds for the hot packs is that, as FFF said, it's already such a great deal, and to take any creator, dual or throwback sketches and put them into hot packs would really hurt the odds of getting them in a box.

The price is already so good on the fat pack, for example, that I don't think we'll have trouble selling those, and for those buying the more expensive boxes, I want them to have the better odds of a surprise pull.

I hear you its a good deal.
The KS link you have up now is this one that goes live tomorrow?

[ALevine - Topps]

I was told by Kickstarter that if you click the preview link after it goes live, it will redirect automatically to the project page.

I believe 1pm eastern time.

[ALevine - Topps]

1PM EST, indeed.

[ALevine - Topps]

My butterflies have started...

[booswain]

let the games begin

[ALevine - Topps]

Still have 4 hours... buttoning up a few final details now.

[scorcher]

Quick question are the 50/50 packs just red sketches as well?, Deciding wether to go with them or a case?
Good luck

[ALevine - Topps]

Those will have a mix, but no duals which are limited to box toppers.

[ALevine - Topps]

10 minutes folks!

[Aaron]

Done! Can't wait to see/meet the stretch goals.

[mcguirem13]

I got my pledge in!

[scorcher]

I rocked mine, don't see were I can enter money for add on

[Aaron]

I see someone asked the question - it says free shipping in the US, but then adds shipping to the pledge .. Will that be corrected?

[JoeG]

Pledged! The response to the Kickstarter is unbelievable! Well done Adam, a new way to fund card sets is born!

[JRCrosby]

Got my pledge in also!

Already done. Deselect your current pledge and go in at the duplicate I created.

As for questions, best place to post is on the KS page itself, where i'll be mostly hanging out.

[Devlyn]

Pledged!

Currently says pledges at $32,019 of $50K

Wouldn't work for me at opening bell, I made my pledge but could not leave the page. I tried for an hour and no go, same problem every time

Good luck
