Casino Decks - my recent obsession

[sprouts1115]

Today, for most custom deck orders, USPC will give you two choices of stock (Bicycle or Bee Casino), two texture choices (smooth or embossed) and two choices of finish ("standard" and Magic) and that's it.  Plain and simple.  Major companies they're willing to work with on stock variations and finish variations, but if you're some guy who just closed his first Kickstarter project, you get the short end of the choices stick.

seems there are 3 stocks.  bicycle, bee, and aristocrat and only 2 finishes embossed and smooth.  gilding has a special finish.  i asked about it, but i didn't get a answer. 

Gilding: Gold and Silver foil gilding is available.  The base price for a custom deck with gilding is $4.60 per deck for 2,500 decks.  The paper for the deck has to be Aristocrat 300 and a special finish is necessary.  The artwork has to have a white border.  Extra time is needed for the gilding process, amount of time necessary depends on order quantity.

Okay, last time here:

Bicycle + Bee are the only stocks. Aristocrat is identical to Bicycle.

You have magic/air-cushion as the finish, it's the same finish. You have embossed/smooth for the texture. Gilding may or may not have a special finish, it doesn't matter, because gilded cards are garbage.

Any company can call any finish whatever they want. I.E. I can make a deck tomorrow with the "SUPER HAPPY GO TIME FUN FINISH OF LOVE" and market it as something totally new.
