Just to clarify this a bit, the color of the seal is meaningless. There is some truth to quality concerns with regard to a run of Tally's several months ago, but this has long since been resolved. When USPCC printed their first run of Tally's on their new presses in Kentucky, the calibration was a bit different than it was on the Cincinnati presses. This doesn't mean the cards were cheaper - it just means that the thickness of the paper, level of embossing, and finish was a bit different. Not cheaper, but different - and not in a good way. It has long since been corrected.
I brought this issue up in a meeting with USPCC a few weeks ago. The decks in question were from several months ago. They have printed several runs of Tally's since that time, so the color of seal no longer has any significant correlation with quality level. With their new presses and super high-tech quality control mechanisms, they are producing decks now that are much higher quality than ever before. And it will only get better. It took a few months for them to get used to the new machines, but right now they're silky smooth.
In any event, if you ever get a deck from theory11 that you believe does not exhibit the level of quality you expect, regardless of what color seal it is, contact us and we will always do our best to make it right. We take production quality very seriously and will either send you a replacement deck (if it's defective) or make sure any concerns are addressed directly at USPCC.
