There are collectors here who could order 1000 custom cards at $5 each but I doubt any one person could justify reselling at cost. Even selling at $12.25 a card (that's the cost per card if you order a trial kit) plus shipping might not be worth the time involved in selling 1000 cards unless it was to promote your brand or store.

A group buy with a minimum order? Maybe with 50 people buying 20 cards apiece. Problem I see is that with 1000 custom cards there may not be a premium for collectors for years if ever. If someone organized a group buy for a cool looking custom card I would not have a problem ordering 20 for $250 (nothing wrong with making a profit for your time if you organize the group buy.) Thoughts?
