Post by: Frost on February 14, 2013, 11:59:41 PM

You asked me about this in PM.  I've written about this before.  Both companies are keeping their print shops a trade secret.  You're not likely to find more than speculation and guesswork.  I've made guesses about them in other topics, but they're just that - guesses, not even worth the paper they're not printed on!

so what your saying is that the legends deck and the MsM decks are not worth buying ?

No, They are worth buying but these companies will be keeping where they print a secret.

You didn't understand what I said clearly.  I said my guesses wouldn't be worth the paper they're not printed on.

The cards are very worth it!

i think it's the community's best interest not to know the printing company.
The reason I said that it's because a lot of people think that any deck printed not by USPCC is crap.
This happens because of how USPCC market themselves and major companies that sells deck are US base. Yes, support local business is great but fall into the trap that other country make crappy products.
Now "USPCC is the only good enough printing shop" is proven to be incorrect by the MsM and Lengends deck. we should really focus more on the deck itself than who printed it.

side note: I wonder if anyone who actually believe that Taiwan printed deck is just as good as USPCC if David Blaine is not behind all this? anyone?

Today I just open it. The printing is quite beautiful and easily to open fan. The surface on the card have a coating that make the cards look shine.

Do you realize how many card printing companies there are in Taiwan?  There's quite a lot.  What makes you think that A Plus is the printer?

I don't need to - they're there!  Look it up, for crying out loud!  You DO know how to use the Internet, right...?  And you still haven't answered the question about why you think A Plus did the print work.

I stumbled onto a website that was some kind of "clearninghouse" for playing card printers - the list was insanely long.  I think I gave up about 15 pages into it and there were plenty more to go.  I recall writing (probably early in the Legends topic) about a couple of unique discoveries I found there - one of which was a blank-backed, super-plain deck of cards, the image of which I attached to the post.

For such a tiny island, they have a lot of companies offering playing card printing services.
