Good luck with that. I know that Palm Imports was trying to pull that off for chiptalk users a while back, but pricing was way prohibitive. You might want to check with them and see if he ever did come up with something.

Palm does them, but the minimum order is 100 decks:

US playing Card will do custom decks as well but I think they are strickly paper (bicycle) stock. Not sure on the minimal order though, their site is blocked here at work else I'd check.

I found one place that will do single deck (or more if you want), plastics for 24 + shipping. No idea on their quality or turn around tho.
"Other" options are being explored too ;)

Looks like paper, not plastic. Unless I missed it somewhere.

You select plastic during the order process.. +3.00 per deck. The base 19.99 is paper.

Here's the site for getting custom cards from US Playing Cards. http://www.bicyclepersonalizedcards.com/ but it looks of course that they are plastic coated paper cards ala Bicycles.
The price is on with others $20 for one deck with a reduction in price as more decks are ordered.

I, too, am interested in a review. The site says they are not considered Casino Quality because of their opacity? Makes me wonder... Guess we'll all see in a few weeks, eh?

not sure how long it will take for them to arrive. I paid the extra few bucks for faster shipping

Got the cards today. I give them an average rating. The quality is no better than an average inexpensive deck of plastic cards. The logo really does not have a pop to it that I would like. The color is kinda dull really.
It is still very cool to have custom plastic cards, but they could be better quality. I bought 2 decks and the total cost was like $52 with priority shipping. Fifty bucks isnt much to risk to try these out. So overall I am content with them.
If anyone wants, I can send you one card out of the deck to examine. They included a card that like an advertisement card and it is exactly like the rest of the cards and it has my logo as well.

got my cards. i wasn't expecting much and they are a little better than expected. good colors on the card. the pic matches what i sent. they are very flexible, much like copags. i play on using them at my next tournament and see how they handle.

Pay close attention to the printed side. I found 2 printing errors on mine. I will email them on Monday and see what will happen.

I'll have to order a deck from US Playing Card. I just htink I'd trust the quality from them over a novelty shop. If they are at least on par with Bicycle quality I think I'd be happy.
