For those who have used TGC....
At these rates, I'd never "self publish" thru TGC...in other words use them as a printer/shipper of my product and still expect to make any money.
But i'm thinking of using them in the beginning till i find a publisher...
I will never get into self publishing on my own...I just can't come up with that kind of funding in advance, nor do I want to deal with all the printing, collating, boxing myself.
The only way my deck will ever see the light of day is to find a publisher...
What I'm wondering is if I "go public" with TGC for whatever period of time, will I then have legalities issues with either TGC or publishers, given that TGC is making money off the prior distribution of my cards...to they retain any "rights" that prohibit or inhibit a publishing company from coming in and saying "we'll take over from here"? And for those of us with experience with publishers, would they NOT pick up the deck if it was being distributed by TGC?
If I never find a publisher, I'd like to have a source (albeit and expensive one) where people who really want my deck can pick one up.
Am I better advised to proceed with trying to find a publisher and exhasting all options before going with TGC...or will it work out to use TGC temporarily as a distributor untill I find a publisher?
