OT: Where to have Custom Trading Cards printed?

[kkkkandp]

I used Jim Bouton's company for my son's birth announcement, but it was a looooong time ago. They're still around, though

I do my own designs and have them printed on a canon color copier. Registration is key, might take 2 or 3 prints before fronts and backs are lined up right. Be warned that you can only print up to a certain thickness. Don't remember what I did. But they came out thinner than regular cards. I printed sheets with 16 cards per sheet.

Just and idea: Certainly you have kids organized sports teams in the Nashville area: soccer, teeball, et al. Just call one up and ask them who they use for their printing of the cards that us parents buy (or in my case, bought...I kind of miss that period). If y6u need lots of 1000 for a single event, I'm sure you will get a good deal, especially if you order for more than one event in advance.

I appreciate the suggestions, but I think you guys may have misunderstood my question. It's not hard to find any number of places that will print up custom trading cards. I'm just wondering if anyone here has any actual experience doing so with good results. (Recent experience is a plus).

if you can make professional quaility pdf's you can use gotprint.com they are one of the least expensive printers out there, and you can upload the pdf's, front and back. they have done full 4 color business cards and postcards (2 sides, coated stock)

I have done a lot of them over the years....mostly for former collegiate football players or minor celebrities doing autograph appearances. It's pretty easy for me as I work in advertising. I use photoshop and usually just get them printed at Vistaprint or someplace similar.
