It's actually the rumors of the impending doom of the Tally Ho which prompted my thinking on this. My guess tells me that some guy, lets call him Magic Bob, calls up the factory and asks shift manager Joe Jabip if they are still printing Tally Hos, Joe looks out onto the factory floor and says "No."
Bob rushes to his computer and tells everyone at the Magic Rumor Mill...errr...I mean Cafe' that Tally hos are no longer being printed. This filters throughout the Internet like a wild fire causing a run on Tally Hos in the market. Then the major distributors call up USPCC and say, "Hey we are out of Tally Hos!"
Joe gets a call from the main office, "Joe gear up the floor we are going to make another run of Tallys!"
"Yes Boss," says Joe.
Then a month later another Tally enthusiast, lets call him Alan Kazam, calls the factory and askes to confirm if Tallys have been discontinues.
Joe looks at the factory floor, "No we are printing them right now...but not the circle backs." (they are uglier than the Fan Backs so there was never a run on them in the first place.)
Okay so my long tall tale is only to illustrate a point. Arrcos have the same dimpling pattern that most other cambric finish USPCC cards...so is their anything that would prevent USPCC from just making another run? The only thing I could think of would be the final varnish, the "plastic coating." Perhaps the new factory isn't set up to handle that type of varnish?
