Hey everybody!
I just want to know if anyone has a good idea on how to make custom cards come as close as possible to the originals?
Playing with cheap paper even cardstock... just ain't the same.

If cardstock isn't good enough, be prepared to spend some money.

If you wan to get very close to the originals, I would Google "Custom Playing Cards" and see if you can find a company that can do what you want. It will cost money, of course. We found a company in Chicago that could do it, we would just submit PDF files to them and they would produce professional-quality cards, but for now at least, we think they're too expensive.

A cheaper (but still expensive) alternative, go to FedEx Office and print onto hi-gloss cardstock. Then print backs onto Avery Sticker Paper (you'll have to bring your own, FedEx Office doesn't have). Stick the fronts to the backs and then cut everything out. Hi-gloss cardstock and Avery sticker paper ain't cheap.
