Title: Tour of USPCC with John Ratzenberger

I found this video on YouTube - not sure if this has been shared here already or not, if so, disregard this thread.

But anyway, here's a brief little visit to the USPCC's headquarters when it was in Cincinnati, as hosted by actor John Ratzenberger; we're treated to a very brief oral and visual history of the company and playing cards from the company's CEO, a look at how decks are manufactured, and John even indulges in a little friendly game of poker:

I think it's been shared before, but it's a cool video.

Here's this one as well, where this guy tries to figure out the exact number of people it takes to make a deck of cards:

A visit to Cartamundi's factory in Belgium:

The video is dated, otherwise they're clearly not quite up to par if they have to print both sides separately, and cut off the corners after they cards have been cut (which may also explain why their rounded corners aren't always perfectly even).
