Someone said I was unprofessional in my e-mail netiquette, but I do believe I'd reject this particular commission idea for its sheer lack of praticality and common sense. 1. Always be wary of business people with sloppy grammar and spelling. Although there are exceptions, this lack of professionalism can be a tell-tale sign of further unprofessional business practices to come. 2. There's something fishy about the phrase, "non-Collectible Card." I mean, to maximize profits on collectible cards, you must first establish the rarity of certain cards as opposed to others. Eliminating duplicate cards would be disasterous to the future of the product line. What is cheap to the buyer is costly to the seller. 3. Why would anybody be interested in collectible story cards based on obscure card game cards? 4. Instead of a commission, it appears to be a loose selling agreement - which only offers an undeclared `percentage' of the overall profit, and you'd think the artist could get a payment up front PLUS the extra percentage profit from the re-sells, in order to make it beneficial for both parties.
