The Beetle Backs Playing Cards

Ooops! Coupon codes for free deck offers
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 02, 2025 at 11:34:01 AM

This is a follow up to the just posted update on The Beetle Backs! 

Some customers have reported an issue with the free deck redemption on TheGentlemanWake.com... After investigation it appears that the the website was defaulting to the Legacy promotion without accounting for the additional Dusk deck when ordering. SO for clarity here's what I've done:

Use promo code LEGACY2025 for the free Legacy deck on ANY deck purchase.

Use promo code BUNDLE2025 for the free Legacy AND Dusk decks on ANY purchase of 3 items of more.

Sorry about any confusion! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any concerns or questions!

The Beetle Backs update for 2025!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 02, 2025 at 11:18:35 AM

Dear Backers,

Happy New Year! We hope this update finds you well! First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredible patience and unwavering support for the Beetle Backs Playing Cards campaign. Bringing this project to life has been a labor of love, and we are thrilled to finally share some fantastic news with you.

The decks are officially en route from WJPC’s factory in China to Gamblers Warehouse in Texas for fulfillment! While our original timeline estimated a January 2025 fulfillment, we appreciate your understanding as we worked diligently to ensure the highest level of quality and craftsmanship for these playing cards. The wait is almost over, and we cannot wait for you to hold these stunning decks in your hands.

Speaking of stunning—the decks look absolutely spectacular! We’ve shared some production sample videos taken directly at the factory, and they speak volumes about the care and attention to detail that went into every aspect of these cards. We’re confident they’ll exceed your expectations.

Now for a surprise that we’re particularly excited to share: The Beetle Backs Prism Edition has been upgraded to feature prismatic foil on the faces (as seen in the video above)! While this enhancement was initially tied to a stretch goal that we didn’t quite cross, we felt it was too special not to bring to life. This upgrade was paid for out of the campaign’s pocket as our way of saying thank you for your support and belief in this project. We hope this unexpected upgrade makes the Prism Edition even more magical for you.

But that’s not all! As a token of our appreciation, we’re thrilled to offer a special gift through TheGentlemanWake.com. Starting now, every purchase will include a free The Successor: Legacy Kickstarter Exclusive Edition Deck (while supplies last) and for orders over $50, we’ll include an additional free The Tale of the Tempest: Dusk Edition Deck (while supplies last). To receive these gifts, please make sure to add the respective free decks to your cart at checkout to trigger the discount. It’s our way of expressing gratitude to this incredible community for helping us bring these projects to life.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as fulfillment progresses, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have along the way. Once again, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support has made the Beetle Backs Playing Cards a reality, and we can’t wait for you to experience them firsthand.

Warm regards,

The Gentleman Wake

Hi backers!

Just a quick note on where things stand. WJPC should be finished with the print run and has received the tuck boxes from Studio Pression and assembly should be imminent. We hope to have an estimated arrival date for when the decks reach Gambers Warehouse soon. We’re in the home stretch now!

In the meantime I’m offering all Beetle Backs backers a special 15% off coupon on TheGentlemanWake.com to show my appreciation for your patience! Use promo code: Grateful

Production Update September!

A quick word from TGW

Just wanted to first say that we apologize for any radio silence the last two months--we were fast at work getting the Goldsmith Decks fulfilled to all the customers who preordered that amazing set! We did this while waiting for our turn in queue with WJPC on Beetle Backs. 

Beetle Backs digital proofs have been approved! And we are solidly in the queue for production. Please note that WJPC has had a large influx of business/orders since Cartamundi announced their departure/hiatus from the custom playing card printing world. Things should hopefully still be on track for our January 2025 delivery estimates!

The Goldsmith decks are available and READY to SHIP NOW!

The amazing Goldsmith decks, by Kevin Cantrell Studio, are finally in the hands of collectors and here are just a few reveiws:

"⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ Outstanding quality. Superior design. Exquisite presentation. More than thrilled with this set. A real treasure."

"⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ Cards are amazing! The gilding and foiling are top notch! Thank you."

"⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ Beautiful! Best way I've seen to display decks with a dealer coin. Everything is superb quality and I honestly couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for all your hard work to make these spectacular."

"⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ This set came out better than I could have ever expected, the foiling work on these, as well as the clarity of print is exceptional."

Get yours now at TheGentlemanWake.com. They are ready for IMMEDIATE shipping!
