Everything has gone dark!

My graphics guy has finally convinced me that the picture is not enough for our cards. The bright white card, with black text is very easy to see, and with a small font (not yougi small but magic small) that we are using i thought this might be the way to go. how bout NO!!!!!!!
We re-designed the card to have a brown leather look to the background and a steel plate for the text. I am no graphic artist but I know what I like! I would love to hear from the rest of you on your opinions. The old card

Followed by the new version

So, i sent yet another set of cards off to the POD printer (TGC), and they came back way too dark. They do have an option for a print filter, but my perception was that even that came out lighter then the card in hand. So, again I have yet another valuable lesson: Make sure its light enough to read folks, have as much contrast between text and background as you can!
So we will spend about 8 hours on photo shopping 108 cards and re-entering them into the POD database. We do this all for you.

Next, the Collectors Edition box design.
