Don't forget NPCC as an option for printer.
They have made a few good looking decks already and printing through them is cheaper than Legends or Expert and the quality is better than MPC.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?
Are lobsters mermaids to scorpions?

Re: Crowded Court - handmade(?) playing cards
Cellulose acetate ought to be pretty straightforward to source in any quantity. If nothing else then your typical transparent sheets of ... acetate ... used for overhead projectors that you can pick up in any stationers are just cellulose acetate sheets.
I suppose it depends what you're going to do with it, but I imagine if you are going to make a varnish it will involve dissolving the cellulose acetate in a solvent of some description. And so whether it comes as amorphous powder or transparent sheets or lumps will be not that relevant provided that cellulose acetate is soluble in your solvent (powder will dissolve more quickly, but the solution will be identical).
