The Good News:

AV and CWGH card decks will be for sale after the first of the year. We'll also have both zombie decks back in stock at that time. Since we just placed the order we don't expect them in time for the holidays.

The Bad News:

We have not found a new card deck printer, but are continuing our relationship for the moment with our current one. Unfortunately this means we have to raise the price of the decks. After Jan. 1. 2012 the retail price for card decks will be $19.95. The raise reflects the change in pricing structure we've been handed.

We will continue to offer the card decks online as a free pdf.

If you've been waffling about card decks now's the time to get them before the price goes up.

Cards are "magic/standard" american size or "yu gi oh/small" american size?

Or are there european sizes (I think not)?

They're 3.5" x 2.5" or 8.89cm x 6.35cm.

If I did the math on the conversion correctly . . .

Peggy,

Might want to contact the folks on Kickstarter who are doing card decks.

I got 2 decks of custom made cards for 10 USD, these are playing cards with thick card stock.

Here are a few links,

They might be able to find you someone who will do them for a good price, most sell a 54-58 card deck for 5-10 USD.

Lee,

Yea, if we were doing straight playing cards we could find more options for printers, but since we're doing custom decks it limits the field. Trust me, we've looked!

Also we have to factor in sales to stores and distributors. If we don't charge enough to be able to give them the right discount we don't sell to them. We're QUITE happy selling to them and seeing our product in the stores. We LIKE to support local stores by letting them sell our products.

Our recent price increase covers what OUR price increase was. That's all. No fattened calves in this deal!

Did not think so on the increase just trying to help you find a better price, was all.

Seems odd that playing cards are not the same, just ink and paper

Lee

It IS odd. We think so too! The esoteric ways of printing are stranger than the proper aligning of the stars.
