I think I will also contribute to this thread, because I am starting to lose respect and admiration towards USPCC.

Before I know about USPCC, I got accustomed with those cheap plastic cards I found in my local convenient stores. As soon as I get one Bicycle deck, I start to fell in love with it. Get more cards made by USPCC, and I start to like the company. But then...... all the new decks that got released and printed by them in the recent years.... they start to degrading on the quality. Good designs have to pay the price because the printer went bonkers
WHEN WILL USPCC WILL NOTICE THEY ARE STARTING TO GET BAD?
I used to love USPCC, but now.... I don't think I would anymore :/
To be fair, if that is the worst of what you have, you have been quite luck compared to others.
Yeah, you are right... I’ve seen other decks, that got a very bad cutting, at a point the cards are cut off, and other things
When will USPCC notice the error of their ways?

I do love and embrace the USPCC has bad regustration meme, but just to put a little perspective here. It's not that they got bad with registration. It was never their hallmark and there were always bad cut decks from USPCC.
It's just that people are now recognising it more.
It's like when you buy a new car and out if a sudden you start to see that model all over the city. It's not that the other cars weren't there before, it's just that your focus has shifted.
That, plus the fact that the USPCC prints way more decks than the other printers. Higher volume, even with the same percentage of misprints, increases the total amount of badly printed decks.
None of this is any excuse, they should absolutely do something to improve, but it IS an explanation.

A double backer is no longer a double backer if it's a bad registration like this :/

That has to be an error they missed on the proofs, not due to printing misalignment. The pips are not displaced, only the index.
Awful nonetheless.

Not sure how that gets missed in proofing, really bad IMO

Oh, USPCC.... How much I am starting to hate you. If I were to make a new custom deck on my own some day, I hope I won't have to deal with you :/

Yikes... If I were you I would try to get a replacement from AoP. This deck imo is too costly to let it slip. AoP's customer service is very responsive and maybe you're lucky and get a replacement.

Currently trying to get a replacement, and yes, I hope I would get a replacement

FOR GOODNESS SAKE, USPCC! Stop ruining custom decks with your degraded Quality Control. *ugh*
Let's us go on a full scale demonstration to USPCC for this kind of outcome they tend to give >:(

Art of Play agrees to sent me a replacement! It's good news
Though to think of it, that makes 2 opened decks

That's good news indeed. Good that they back their premium prices at least with great customer service.

"excited" to be able to join this one... hope no one else had the misfortune of backing this project
based on the KS comments I'm not the only one to find these issues and this was just issues in the printing of the cards... you can see the different sizes of each card because the cut was so bad and some had the like the plastic film peeling off

I like that the Pink Panther shows the same attitude like the USPCC Quality Control Department, haha.

Though something strange though
Most of Gio's TWI decks are printed with USPCC, but there are no complaints of people getting their decks off-set? Does it means that USPCC is being picky with customers? Or Gio paid for the highest Quality Check ever?

I heard a while ago that you appearantly indeed can pay an extra fee for a tighter quality control window when producing cards with USPCC. No creator did confirm this though to my knowledge.

I'd be curious if it had to do with the number of open TWI decks, Fontaines are often open and used where I feel TWI is more for collectors and probably don't open them as often to notice if it's off

I'm going to see if I can dig out the price list the sent me about a year or so ago. Iirc, I remember a section about this. It was something like Class A,B, and C, with c being the lowest and standard and A being "we will hand check and pack every single deck"

I thought I read David Blaine does this (pay more for better QA) with his decks.

Well, I am here to tell ya, that I have opened TWI decks that I've owned, and happy to report that none of those decks have offset problems
there is only one problem, which is for Eva Noire, which the deck is meant to be unsealed, but some of them are sealed with USPCC's black sticker, which ruins the image of the deck

Welp, there goes USPCC ruining another deck..... this time the grandmaster Lorenzo's work had to be the victim of the degrading quality of USPCC.
I am no longer putting my love for ya USPCC, we are so through. Don't expect me to choose you as the printer if I have a project someday.
