Thanks for replying 
. It is a weird new deck. Maybe some collectors will like it.
I have to tell you, and I'm not saying this as a personal attack or anything, but these are a terrible concept for playing cards - and by that I'm referring to the standard Anglo-American deck design as opposed to some kind of novelty game. Because that's what you have here; a novelty deck, not a standard deck, not even a custom standard deck.
The majority of playing card collectors don't even go as far as collecting bridge decks or pinochle decks - they're not going to be interested in a deck like this, certainly not in large numbers.
Now what you SHOULD be doing is instead of pitching this as a "weird deck of cards" to card collectors, you should be writing game rules and promoting this as a game. Make up some rules to go with this unique deck of yours, package them together, and check out the boards that are big on board games and similar games like Wizard, Uno, etc. The audience is smaller, but if you choose an inexpensive printer, you could have a budget of perhaps a third or less of what you're seeking now.
A few words of advice: people are more likely to back a project with a real name and face to it instead of "Ocean D" - that sounds like a cross between a seafood snack and a breakfast drink. Also, make certain you've accounted for EVERYTHING in your budget, right down to the postal price increase that's coming this month. Don't just come up with a number off the top of your head because it sounds good - it's a recipe for disaster.
