last year\u2019s Kickstarter campaign<\/a> was saying \u2018no\u2019 to all of the people who come looking to buy calendars AFTER the campaign is over. Time will be of the essence this year because we\u2019ll be too busy fulfilling orders for holiday giftgiving, and I\u2019ll be busy working on new art to complete an entire 54-card Loteria deck by the end of 2014. One of the reasons I\u2019m using Kickstarter to share these calendars and collectibles is because it provides a simple way of managing preorders. We\u2019re using that to make sure we print just enough of this item, within budget, as we did last year. Once the campaign is over, that preorder system is closed, and I\u2019m unable to add anyone to the funding number.<\/p>\nI\u2019ve seen last year\u2019s calendar selling on the collectible market for up to $100. I suspect the 2014 Calendar will have similar collectibility down the road \u2014 and the Grande Loteria cards? THOSE collectibles are going to be very<\/i> hard for non-Kickstarter backers to acquire.<\/p>\n
