I asked if they were USPCC and heres his response:
Chris Pallace says:
These decks will not be printed by USPCC as they will not do a 60 card deck.
These cards will be the same as our Pegleg Pete's Deck. A very high quality paper stock with a linen finish, the look and feel is just like Bicycle cards. They are standard poker size. The print run with be 10,000- 60 card decks packaged in 5,000 2 deck sets.
We have been printing card games for a few years now, and regularly contract (once or twice a year) with playing card printers in both the USA and China. I currently have quote out with both of my regular printers.
If it's not USPC, it can't be a Linoid finish. That's a copyrighted term belonging to USPC. Don't think they own the term linen finish, though - it's like owning the copyright to the concept of the playing card at this point in the game. (Then again, a fair amount of USPC intelletual property is out of copyright and in the public domain - like the Rider Back design.)
After all, if it is USPCC deck, it should stated somewhere.
If it isn't, I think it will be made in china for the cheapest cost.
Dan & Dave's entire series of decks don't say USPC on them anywhere, but that's where they're made. If I remember right, they state something about a "D&D Printing Company" or "D&D Publishing Company" based out of Hollywood, Calif.
So no USPC statements, logos, etc. isn't a guarantee they weren't made by USPC. I assumed they weren't based solely on the "tuck box" design, since it looks like a flip-top pack of cigarettes.
I think this guy's trying to go for a quality print job without actually going to USPC since they're not cheap and busy up the wazoo with so many boutique decks in the works. It could just as easily be Cartamundi or one of the many little print shops around that can produce a finish-coated deck. He does have quote requests out to China, but it seems he's aiming for at least Cincinnati Bicycle quality.
BTW: I have a new topic related to this last sentence I want to make...
