Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
Semi-off topic question:
As a kid I loved the game Concentration (probably because I could always beat my sister) and I've always had in my head that I'd love to do a hockey team version of the game. I recently had some postcards printed and the extra thick stock and durable finish (combined w/ printing the images well) made me think about the possibility again.
If I were to do it (and for BC) there would be 32 different images (27 players from last year, 4 coaches & then probably a celebration shot) for a total of 64 cards (with team trophy shot on all the backs) sized 3x4. The issue is the cost. I can get a deep discount during the month of October, but I'd still have to sell sets at $24 each to break even. Obviously that's a lot more than you'd pay for a regular pack of cards. (Also wouldn't come with fancy packaging since a) I can't seem to find boxes the appropriate size & b) that'd just more to the cost. I think it is an acceptable image product as it will simply be small prints albeit 2-sided (they wouldn't be usable as playing cards).
The question is - would anyone be interested at that price? I'd have to order in sets of 10. Please feel free to email me your thoughts - melissa@hockeyphotography.com
