Design & Development / Re: Selling your design through Gamblers Warehouse or Collectors Playing Cards?

Thanks Don.
I noticed that Blackout Brother did a few decks with Gamblers Warehouse (Spirit, Steampunk Bandits, and Blackout Kingdom). The design and illustration on those decks are excellent. I figured if they did repeat business with them, there must be some advantage for the artist. But Blackout Brother primarily does illustration, and cards are not their primary business. Also, they are based out of Indonesia, where money goes a lot further than the U.S.
It seems like it might be worthwhile if the custom deck was a limited edition, where the designer and GW have a predictable outcome assuming all of the decks sold. This would depend on the amount of the flat rate the designer gets of course.
