Card Production Options

As far as I'm aware USPCC have their Bee and Standard stock. But I've found decks done by Theory 11 described as being - "The cards are produced in the USA using FSC-certified papers derived from sustainable forests, vegetable based inks and starch based laminates." If custom card makers, ...

Ok, one of my cards in the "Boardwalk" decks was slightly bent so I put the whole deck into a clip. After one week I removed them and to my surprise the card was still bent, the clip did jack $het (and jack left town)*. A few days ago I fell asleep on the couch and I had one of the display...

$15 for an MPC deck? No thanks. They're quality is improving, but not so much that I'd pay that much. Too bad, I really like the vintage look.
Maybe the price includes postage?

Re: Uusi's 5th deck: "Hotcakes": Funded $46,000 on Kickstart

How can they get their decks printed 2 months early by USPCC? Does USPCC have some sort of system where you can ask them to get your decks printed faster, maybe some extra fee?

The experience I've seen since the beginning of the year is that USPCC are 2 months behind and not ahead.

Re: I HATE It When People ......

I understand how much it sucks to miss out on a limited deck that you really wanted.

A small example, although not direct...
