Hey! My shop has been a big success and I can’t thank you all enough! By far the most popular product has been the “Poké-men Cards”. So I would like your input going forward!

I’ve considered designing my own back to the cards, as well as making the border myself to avoid future copyright issues.

Making them look less like the real thing would also shorten the process of making them, meaning I could design more cards + ship much faster, as they are currently the main reason shipping takes so long.

For now I’d like to know, how important is it that the Poké-Men cards look just like real Pokémon cards?

Protective covering is a must for your cards, I fear people may buy them for a different... type of game

I'm down either way! I think while the Pokemon branding adds to the novelty, keeping yourself safe legally is a priority. Regardless of what you go with, I think it'll look great. I have a question, though, how do you print them? I'm interested in making some for myself and was wondering what materials you're using

As of right now the process is a bit complex. It involved printing the front on Holographic paper and attaching it to a real card + trimming the edges off with a boxcutter. If I had my own back I could simply print double sided and cut with my silhouette machine
