Changes to Custom Pokemon Card Order Form, Reopening 2/23
11 years ago
General
*** Note to everyone who is interested in card badges that I will begin taking orders for them again on February 23. You may submit an order before then, but it will not be processed until the 23rd so keep that in mind. ***
I've made a LOT of these badges in the past month and have learned a lot from making them (such as the price of international shipping, price of ink/laminate/clips/bubble mailers, how much time they take, desired options I didn't list, etc.) and have adjusted some things accordingly so I can produce quality work.
I have a question about how I am going to handle the set numbers on the bottom right of each card. Currently I am only putting 1/1 (or 1/2 & 2/2 if it's a commissioned pair). Should I decide on a set number (251 for example, so it will take a super long time to get that many card commissions) and each order becomes 1/251, 2/251, 3/251, etc. until 251 is reached? How's that for a plan? 1/1 is boring!
Similarly for monster numbers (displayed in flavor text box on each card, like how Pikachu is #25): should this number rise with each new character card (a character will have the same number if more than one card is commissioned of them)? Should the commissioner choose the number they want? Should duplicate numbers be allowed for different characters?
Things I am adding (or have recently added):
Dragon and Fairy types (I know they weren't in the classic set, but we can pretend!)
Weakness and Resistance Variables
First Edition marker option
Set Marker option
Level
Holographic Rare option (note that they won't be shiny when printed, it is a texture overlay)
Choice between plastic sleeve and badge for printing/presentation
$3 Custom Button add-on
Basic Pokémon, Stage 1, and Stage 2 options
Things I am changing:
Price structure
- Base price for art is now $35
- US printing/shipping is now $7
- International printing/shipping is now $10
Element wording has been made consistent with the TCG (only affects order form)
