- throwaway47292 4y agoI print with some professional card printing companies, the pricing goes something like 10 decks, 500$, 50 decks 800$, 100 decks 1200$, and 300 decks 1500$ and then it continues to drop Since I printed only 50, I think the price is too high, so I would rather to give them for free than to charge unreasonable price. If you are willing to pay the shipping cost send me an email to b0000@fastmail.com, I still have few left.
- mcv 4y agoFor those kind of costs, I'd print 300 for $1500. That's just $5 a piece. Sell them for $10, and you can afford to give away half of them. I think this project would make a great Kickstarter. I don't think it would be hard to get 300 people interested in backing this. Shipping is probably going to be the biggest issue; find people on other continents to help you distribute it there. That can save a lot of money.
- OakNinja 4y agoMaybe you could run all the decks as a kit on kickstarter? I would love to buy all of them as a set, and I believe a lot of others would as well.
- throwaway47292 4y agoI am halfway done with the C deck, as we are switching to C soon, and I will setup a kickstarter after, should be done around December. I want her to know why x[3] and 3[x] are the same thing. int x[3]; 2[x] = 5; printf("%d %d\n", 2[x], x[2]) A lot of people struggle with x = 5 y = 6 y = x x = 7 print(y) and x = [1,2] y = [3,4] y = x x.append(5) print(y) There is something magical in understanding how the computer uses its memory, its almost as if you walk out of a mist. I think it will be very valuable to have a set of 4 decks: python, machine code, unix pipes and C, so that the decks compliment each other. In the machine code deck there are few cards that have pointers (e.g. https://punkx.org/4917/play.html#43 https://punkx.org/4917/play.html#43), and they can be used to help with the C deck for example. Then its LISP.
- OakNinja 4y agoSounds awesome! I’ll pitch buying a bunch of these for work as well. Extremely good idea!
- pessimizer 4y agoYou can get the 50 deck rate for even a single deck (and there are often coupon codes) at https://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/blank-playing-cards.html https://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/blank-playing-car... or https://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/playingcards https://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/playingcards Also, if you're trying to give this away, they both allow you to share a link to your design so other people can buy the cards direct. ---- edit: the sites may seem cheezy, but they're probably responsible for 95% of prototype card decks that professional designers print. For other excellent non-Chinese, Buy America options, there are https://www.printplaygames.com/product-category/prototypes/cards/ https://www.printplaygames.com/product-category/prototypes/c... , https://www.thegamecrafter.com/make/pricing#Cards https://www.thegamecrafter.com/make/pricing#Cards and https://www.drivethrucards.com/joincards.php https://www.drivethrucards.com/joincards.php
- rabf 4y agoA cheap laser engraver could work well here.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoWould you need 2layered paper, with a different color underneath? Or would engraving the words directly onto card stock be legible?
