Let me know what you guys think so far, especially with the back design.

Doesn't USPCC have a 2500 deck minimum now? To make sure it gets funded the next go around, wouldn't it make more sense to use MPC or WJPC since they can start off with a much lower deck run, greatly lowering the minimum cost to make the project viable? Especially with it being a 1st time project and people being a bit more skeptical these days.

I've resized the designs to fit within the poker die lines from USPCC, as the original illustrations weren't within the safe printing lines for some reason.

Would that reason be that USPC have serious registration problems
It is hard to tell looking at large images but how wide a border is the card back going to have?

They do. However, I've talked to the small print team about whether they could do a low-quantity amount, and they've agreed. I contacted LPCC a bit ago but haven't had a response since. Additionally, I've lowered our amount to 1,000 decks so that the minimum cost will be significantly lower than the first campaign.

I'm also contacting EPCC as well for a quote. So, I have a few options. It's just that when this was designed, USPCC had a minimum of 1,000, so them going up was a bit of a dick punch.

I don't know. It was initially formed for USPCC's poker die, but I don't have those files. So, I've decided to do it myself.

Technically, the border is 4 pixels thick.

Good news!

After speaking with EPCC, I'll move over to them for manufacturing. It's a great alternative, considering that EPCC shares the same factory floors as LPCC and that LPCC hasn't responded to my manufacturing request. Plus, they don't have the 2500 minimum order quantity that USPCC has, and the weird condition is that they can't hit the deck if I print out the deck with their small print team.
