Trae R.Hi Barry, I probably went too far on trying to convey my thoughts here. I think final framed production pieces are going to be the only thing worth selling with regard to this project. 3-D Modelng isn't my strongsuit, but I threw together a crude mock up of a typical framed example... the main thing I want to illustrate is the fact that each card is printed separately. I have one Photoshop file for each card. I imagine the process being:
1) Print each card on fairly thick card-stock.
2) Take the stack of card stock to the framer and explain how each one should be cut and displayed within the piece.
So, in short I could've just said I'd be happy to give you the files to print yourself, since there's no "one" to sell/giveaway aside from the framed piece. If there was a great enough demand and getting them framed goes smoothly I could create an online order script through PayPal to customize your own display piece using any backs you wanted. Does that strike the interest of anyone? I have no idea of the cost yet...
Please also note that the backs in my model above are stuck to background... this will not be the case in the final product. Each card will be matted (sunk) into the backdrop with a half-inch border all the way around it.
like so...

However I think the Black frame and black card BG doesn't create enough contrast, so I may go grey (or something) on the matte background for the border around the cards.
Sorry for the sporadic thoughts... I just need to get one put together and go from there. Thanks for listening.
