On your design: the idea itself sounds like it would be a good one, but when you think longer about it and look at the recent history of deck releases, you'd realize that it's not.
There's been two "Internet meme" decks and one similarly-themed "hipster" deck on Kickstarter so far. All three projects failed by a wide margin - very wide - even with low goal amounts.
You want $12 for a deck that's largely done by cut-and-paste using other's people's work that's about as close to public domain as you're likely to find, while for less people can purchase decks with custom artwork to varying degrees made as part of a designer's vision, even completely custom right down to pip design.
When you boil it down to brass tacks, people who collect playing cards are largely doing so because they're seen as miniature works of art. That's not to say that there hasn't been some butt-ugly decks out there, but beauty is one of those things that's somewhat subjective. This isn't really original art, it's simply imitation of some lowbrow gag material you stumbled across online. And, while it would be hard to prove and the odds are slim, there's also the chance that the legitimate creator of one of your meme images might actually own a copyright on it - which, whether or not that person's in the right, means hiring a lawyer and finding a way to pay for him and any associated court/legal costs.
Some will indeed pick it up as a novelty, but I don't see this as a big seller by any means. Don't take this too hard - you're a beginner at this, and most people aren't deemed prodigies right from day one. But if you want to make a deck that will both appeal to collectors and stand out head-and-shoulders above the competition, you really need to bring skill, style and originality to the table. This is just not that deck.
