Thanks so much for the tip!
I have included a disclaimer at the bottom of the campaign. If the campaign is funded, I will send you a free deck for your help!
I received a lot of positive feedback with the new card back design. I wanted to keep it consistent with the face cards. Perhaps, the next deck in the series will have a symmetrical design.
In terms of printing information, I have that listed in the FAQs...
Thanks again!

Thank you or the offer.
If you find that your project doesn't get funded, consider retooling the project and using MakePlayingCards.com as your printer. They have a much-smaller minimum print run, as little as a single deck, allowing you greater flexibility in terms of planning your project's budget.
If you take your end-result number of decks for which people have pledged in this project and plan to print, say, two-thirds of that amount for the follow-up second attempt, take that to MPC for pricing, then plan your new project's goal based on that, you stand a very strong chance of success. In the event you get back every single backer and then some, all wanting decks, you simply increase your print order with MPC, possibly even lowering your per-deck print costs and increasing your profit in the process.
They're not quite as good as USPC, but they're pretty good in general and do just fine in most cases for decks that are more art-oriented than performance-oriented. I would advise ordering a super-short print run paid out-of-pocket just as a test - consider them prototypes, and order not more than perhaps a half-dozen or a dozen. Then you can see what the print will look like, make color/brightness/contrast adjustments accordingly and use the extras to get the deck into the hands of online video reviewers to drum up interest in the KS project while it is still active. If you can find a cardist willing to make a video with your deck for promotional purposes, all the better. Many major playing card creators I know use MPC for their prototype decks even when planning to do their full print run with other printers because they're so much more affordable while still doing reasonably good work.
