I like the whimsical nature of the artwork.  My big questions about this one are:

1) Is $5,000 enough to get a USPC-made deck, even at a teeny print run size of 2,500?  (I don't think they do anything smaller, do they?  They keep changing their minds over the minimum run size.)

2) Is it overly optimistic to think they'll be shipping by December 19th?  USPC usually gets a mad rush of major-ticket projects heading into the holidays (in other words, right about now), then they close for the week of Christmas into New Year's Day.  Unless they're already being printed, I can't see how they'll get these out in time.  Even on a good day, their lag time between signing a contract and printing a deck is something akin to six weeks, unless they've miraculously managed to trim down their backlog since I last checked.
