I would subscribe in a second if printed cards were made available, and I'd be willing to even pay a little extra for them. I am a stickler for quality and would want my printed cards to look just like the ones produced by Filsinger Games. It's tough to match that on a home printer and print shops never seem to get it right unless you buy in bulk. Now I'm holding onto hope that 2014 and 2015 Promoter Prime sets may be printed in the future! You would gain a quick subscriber from me if this happened. This is like Christmas morning for me. I agree with everything that brocster just said., I couldn't have said it better myself. I ordered PP 2014 and have yet to be able to print out a single card for it. I used up an entire cartridge just trying to get the Jake Milliman and Piper's Pit cards. I also tried a local printer and Fed Ex/Kinkos and had no luck. I want the cards in the same quality that FG produces so this would be ideal for me and others as well. Whatever the price it would be well worth it for me. I only play cards & dice so online is not really an option for me so I would prefer the actual cards. As a result of the printing problems I had with 2014 I refused to order PP 2015 or 2016 and missed out on great cards like Orange Cassidy, Petey Williams, and too many more to mention. I only play legends but I have a collection of GWF cards so I have no problem with paying for those as well. I always felt that FG was leaving money on the table as PP is an awesome thing but if only a certain group (online players, those with ability to get the cards printed) could get anything out of it then the rest of us were left on the outside looking in. I understand that this would start with 2016 (and believe me I want those del Sol and Rose cards) but hopefully sets for 2014 and 2015 would be offered as well. I am happy to see this issue being brought up in a formal way and I hope that something can be done as I would be ordering in a heartbeat. Christmas morning for sure if this comes true and I am a stickler for the real deal and if it happens, I'll be subscribing for sure both this year's and 2015... |

How about seperate pricing options? $29 for either printed cards OR online. And a discounted price around $50 for both? Hx This was the point I was poorly trying to make earlier, I don't play online at all, but I should not have to puchase the online PP, just to get access to the print cards. |

I'm with the Count on this. I don't do the online thing, would love the printed cards, but not at a $58 price point.

Filsinger Games are crunching the numbers and I think they will figure out something that'll work for them and us their patrons in a price point or I hope this will happen, plus I would go with the quoted comment below if that's what FG goes with on price point... I'm really glad this is being looked at. I hope it becomes a reality. I did vote no but only because I have the capabilities to print the cards myself. For those that are saying it is too much $$$, look at it this way, the past two years have had 25+ cards each. At $60, you are paying less than $2.50 per card and you would get them in print and online. Even if you don't use some of the cards, that's still pretty reasonable, in my opinion. In the end, I am glad that the great crew at Filsinger Games are looking at making this option a possible option... |

I hope this gets done. There are so many cards that I want from 2014-15 not to mention what is coming in 2016. Price point doesn't really matter to me as pikemojo noted you would be paying about $2.50 per card at double the current PP price and that is more than fair, especially for those of us who have no viable print option. I feel that everyone in the FG universe deserves the chance to have these great additional cards. I am pulling for this to happen.

I am a subscriber and would pay for the printed cards.
I've printed all of the cards that I've wanted to use up until now but nothing beats the FG quality.
I would also be interested in the 2014-15 sets as well.
Let's do it!!!

I think some folks are looking at this the wrong way.
By paying for the printed cards, you are NOT also paying for online. Think of it as getting the online cards as a bonus.
At $58 we are looking at about $2.50 a card. The average FG card set sells for $2.25 a card ($18 for 8 cards). So it's not really that different. Online-only really seems to be a deal if you look at it this way.
It seems people are balking at the $58 up front investment. This is understandable. Maybe chunk it down to $29 for six months?

Exactly, you can't produce a 25 card color set and sell it for $29. The only reason they can sell it currently for $29 is because they don't have to pay for printing. |

You can look at it a few ways. Look at it as getting 3 6-card sets and 1 8-card set, with shipping included in the price. At $15 for a 6 card set and $18 for a 8 card set, you are looking at between $68 and $75. Plus as aceldamas says you get the online cards and the monthly PDF in addition to the printed cards. |
