Bill,

before reading this intro post of yours I thought all of your decks came from the same ("secret") factory. I wrote a summary of my impressions on all the non-USPCC CARC decks under this assumption, so learning that they're not from the same factory changes things a bit. I understand that you want to keep the names and specific locations of these factories a trade secret, but maybe you could give them arbitrary names like Taiwan A etc and list which factory printed which decks? This would be a great way to let us enthusiasts compare your decks with a more informed view and allow us to see (and give you feedback on) which factory is doing well or improving.

Just a thought.

They already have "unofficial" names.  The Shanghai printer and the Taiwan printer.  To the best of my knowledge, the Global Titans came from the Shanghai printer.  The rest came from the Taiwan printer.  The Taiwan printer is also believed to be the same printer used by Misdirection's Mystery for their three decks.

Thanks for that, Don. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to have picked up the unofficial names. Do you know (or have an inkling) if the FatboyEatAllDay decks are printed by either of these factories as well?

Taiwan.  Same as the Legends, same as MSM.  But don't quote me; I've been wrong before.  I believe that Zenneth Kok talks about it on the topic for the FBEAD deck.
