Ok so for my next deck of cards I want to take most of my advice from you guys, with my last deck of cards I didnt really listen to peoples needs before I made the project on kickstarter (10 days left, in my sig) . The type of deck Im going for is mainly for poker players, with classy art and card stock that can withstand a thousand uses and great handeling. Here is what I came up with so far, keep in mind this is a VERY early rendition of the art, and everything is up for change.
Cardstock: COPAG quality plastic ( just got the KEM quote.. yikes! copag is 1/3 the price and just as good if not better.)
Ink: The gold border and monkey rings will use metallic ink.
The art:

One will come in brown and one in black, it will cost 20$ for 2 decks.
