Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Overall, the design is OK.  I like the backs, but I'm so tired of vanity court faces.  It's like everyone's trying to get all their friends on a King or a Queen these days, and half of them or more look terrible.  These at least have decent art in their favor, but the angles of some of the faces are a bit odd and not at all matching a traditional court face.  Oh, and I wish him luck getting that border done accurately!

The pricing is good, especially for a simple design such as this is.  I'm more concerned about the goal being as low as it is.  Is it really feasible to get a USPC deck made AND shipped on a budget that small?  I've already seen one designer recently go into the red on a project due to delivery shortfalls - he's sending out packages a few at a time as he can afford it because he lacked enough cash to use his printer's fulfillment service.  USPC doesn't have a service, but still - just like money, postage and packaging don't grow on trees.

A top 5 rule on custom decks you're trying to sell to strangers is don't put pictures of your friends on it.

You're right of course. There is an "except when..." but this deck isn't one of those.
