I'm very curious about how these guys are going to manage getting a USPC-made deck on a budget of just two grand.  Assuming the minimum print run of 2,500 decks, that's less than a buck a deck!!  Even if it was a run of a thousand decks, that's still only $2 a deck - I don't think USPC makes any decks that cheaply in the Custom department.

I agree with you. The funding goal does not reflect reality at all.

Red Flag campaign! I went a head and backed this because I wanted to get updates to see what was going on with this. To be clear regardless of whatever design the deck may have. There are a lot of Red Flags here and I advise extreme caution backing this campaign.

To be fair, there's a chance that it's being supplemented with private funding.  But if that's the case, it's not mentioned anywhere in the campaign page.
