Hi,

I have a routine with a 'gimmicked' set of Tarot cards, for which I'd like to commercially produce.

As a book/poster/card publsiher, it's never been too hard to find someone/company who can print up strange things!....however, this is just one of those times when I can't find anybody who can help!

So...does any member herein know of a company that will print and gimmick up (the design is not the essence of the cards), a deck of Tarot ( major and minor arcana's)?

Believe me, I've tried nearly everywhere...people say 'No way' or ask me to print up a 20 foot container load...circa 120,000 decks!

Hope someone can help, thanks for your time and efforts.

Mike

There are a number of companies that will do custom playing cards for you.

Playcardsindia.com do custom tarot decks, but they have a 2000-deck minimum and don't state their costs online.

Myplayingcards.com only advertises its ability to do custom playing cards -- but they do custom faces as well, so you could conceivably have them do tarot artwork; their costs appear reasonable under the circumstances and they say their minimums are low.

With all that said, are you sure you need cards custom-printed? Or can you gaff existing cards? PM me the particulars and I'll see if I can help.

Good luck!

Hi,


Thanks Necromancer, your efforts and thoughts on the subject are most welcomed and I will contact the sites you mentioned.

Sadly, existing 'decks' would not be able to be gaffed...each card would need to be gaffed, one by one...and that would take forever; better that a machine does the work from the outset, in some form of acceptable bulk! Especially given that I would like to market the deck therafter...I'm no craftsman with materials, and nobody would buy MY hand-gaffed cards!!!!

I will PM you some details after speaking with the sites mentioned, I don't want to trouble you and if they can say Yes, I'll advise you and send you a virtual bottle of champahne for all your help! If they say no, I will continue the search, and perhaps buy my own Litho-printing setup just to accomodate my dreams!!

Take care, diviner of the secrets of futurity.

Talk about "digging up the past". This is one for Inside The Crypt.
(Good luck with the Tarot cards)

Digging up the past or raising the dead?

Now what would I do with 100 Tarot decks? A few ideas come to mind...

Why don't you try Christian at CardShark in Germany?
