So I just wanted to share my findings:Prices per piece at 2500pcs seems to be about even among national print companiesNational print companies include design fees, locals do not and charge $75+ an hour with expected costs around $150-250Fiverr.com is full of excellent graphic designs who can design business cards, post cards, logos etc for $5-$50In order to print the addresses correctly the post card will have to be of a paper type that works with my printer, aka laser toner paper matte (not glossy)Whenever I have printed post cards in the past it has been a lot of work to get the spacing right, I end up throwing away 10-50 until I figure it outBecause the post card is small there tends to be 'angling' issues with my printer and sometimes the text comes out at 10-20 degree angleIt might be better to print on labels instead of the post card directlyNational companies will often pay/provide a list for you, locals do not and charge $35 or moreYou can get free lists from your local title companies since most (mine do) have access to county records.
