And thanks to everyone who has ordered them! These will be going out in order of reservation starting tomorrow.
Plus a very, very big thanks to Chris and Anthony for all their help on this one!
I plan on making a few more sets later this month, so if anyone wants in the queue please email me at huzzah2k@gmail.com. (Sorry Chris to be making a few more, but your set is still the first! - but good news for everyone though - these will never be mass produced. I will do a few small runs of them here and there, until my hands cramp and fall off from cutting, sanding, ageing, and waxing!)
The July run has sold out and shipped. I have another build that I will do in mid-August. These will probably all be elite boxes, something like this with reversible lids (with pendulum boards on the reverse - thank you Chris for the idea!):
Not sure of the price yet because the boxes are more expensive and more labor intensive (but probably in the $150 range from early estimates). The boxes will have felt in the bottom as well to keep your cards nice and safe. I will also probably add a couple of aged pages to these boxes which will help with the story for the main routine.
If you are interested let me know, I am starting a queue.
The queue is officially open - pm me for a slot for the August run of Calaveras. I am waiting for pricing back on the boxes, and once I have that I will let everyone know the final price and what will be shipping in each set. No commitment to be in the queue (you can of course opt out if you wish at any time), and as usual I don't ask for payment until your set is ready to ship.
Lothar, sorry, I haven't checked this site in awhile, have been mainly over at the AM forum. I am still making the Calaveras sets, though the box in the pics above was a one-of-a-kind version. If you are interested I can post some pics of the current set with boxes.
