Your help will highly appreciate. Cheers

Uncut sheets are literally uncut sheets of playing cards. They're for collecting/displaying as artwork.
No brand has the best sheets, it's all about the design/rarity.

They're for people who want to spend some intimate time and cut out the cards themselves. Just kidding.
An uncut sheet is essentially what the name says they are: a sheet of 56 cards that has been pulled out of the production process before they are cut into strips and eventually singular cards. They are usually more valuable than the respective deck, though much more difficult to sell as demand is incredibly limited. Most people purchase them for their own collection, or to display it as it is/inside a frame (Which i never really understood why.. it's insanely unattractive in my opinion and i would much rather fill my wall up with classy aesthetically pleasing posters/artwork rather than repeated pip designs, but that's just me). As for quality, most of the uncut sheets you will encounter are from USPCC, thus quality is more or less identical. Just imagine a big sheet of bicycle/bee/aristocrat stock with a few variations in finish. Sometimes (especially small kickstarter projects), you may find uncut sheets that have not even been dimpled/lack a finish. These are even more 'rare' and priced ridiculously for those crazy collectors out there.

Thanks for this translation, I had no idea what you were talking about until I read this. So basically uncut sheets are awesome, buy as many as you can, they sell really good so buy them to sell and only USPCC can make them. Got it. :t11:

I would assume any company that makes cards would have uncut sheets, would not be the exact same thing though. Anyone know of chinese fake uncuts? lol

I'm a big fan of uncut sheets, I think it's a must for any collector who has the option to purchase an uncut of their favorite deck. It's a great way to see all the cards at a glance, and although they can be pricey to frame and do take up a lot of precious wall space...if done correctly they look stunning!
Some are rare depending on how many were are available and/or sold. Not all decks have uncuts for sale. The sheets you don't frame store very well in poster tubes.

Why would you mention uncut sheets when talking about a company that doesn't sell uncut sheets?
Most people purchase an uncut sheet of cards because it's a sheet from the print run of a favorite deck. For some, that might be one of the classics, like Bicycle Rider Back. For others, that might be a custom deck from a popular magic company like Ellusionist's Arcane deck, Theory11's Sentinels deck or Dan and Dave's Smoke and Mirrors decks. For yet more others, it could be an uncut sheet from an individual designer who's completed a successful Kickstarter project.
The company you mentioned doesn't fall into ANY of these categories. They print deck designs YOU submit to them, and they DON'T sell uncut sheets. It's like buying a piece of art from a respected artist, be they little-known or very popular, and buying a piece of your own art from a company that printed it from you but they have to cut it up into 56 little pieces first...

Seems like you can choose the uncut sheet from their packaging options on their prioduct page. Might be something new they added.

What are they charging for uncut sheets? I ask because USPC actually charges a premium above the cost of a deck - which is silly, when you consider that an uncut sheet is basically an unfinished deck without a tuck box...
