Jackson - What about playing around with the idea of putting a small amount of UV ink on your black reserve and don't tell anyone about it. It's doable. It's only .10 extra per deck.
"This isn’t a new ink, you may have seen this on our tragic royalty deck. The design for UV ink has to be approved by our printing manager and the cost is $0.10 more per deck."
...and Tragic Royalty handled like cowpies...though to be fair, it's possible that was due to the awful gray ink used on the backgrounds. I'm still waiting to see Grid 2.0 before I pass judgment on UV inks as a category.
And I'm STILL trying to figure out why you'd want UV markings on this deck! What purpose would it serve? The deck will look like currency already, it doesn't need to be made like currency.
That's an extra $500 dollars per 5000 decks. For a frivolous marking that no one even knows about.
Technically, it would be just $100, as he's only printing 1000 decks. But it's still $100!!
No matter how you slice it, it doesn't fit in this design, period, so there's no point in spending money on it. Jackson's currency deck designs hearken back to OLDER currency, bills that were created before anyone had heard of UV strips, color-shifting inks, microprinting, adding blue & red fibers to the paper, etc. Those are all MODERN anti-counterfeiting measures.
only printing 1000 decks.
The minimum order quantity for a custom run is 2,500 decks.
Did I miss something? ._.
No, you didn't. It's a case of one of two things. Either a) he's just making the tuck box different and the cards inside are the same, or b) because of all the cash he's dropping at their plant (EIGHT DECKS plus this one) they're letting him make a short run on this special edition deck. USPC has been known to bend some of their rules for people who are making a LOT of cards with them.
