Why don't we take a look at the math. Beyond Valor has 14 countersheets. I can't remember how they split between 1/2 and 5/8 so we can say 7 of each.

1/2 sheet has 280 counters x7 sheets = 1960 counters. Using the superior POD counters, it would take 28 sheets.

5/8 sheet has 176 counters x7 sheets = 1232 counters. Using the Superior POD counters, it would take 18 sheets.

List price on the SPOD page for 46 countersheets is $207, just for the counters.

I'm just not sure that that cost is workable. Thanks for the link, I may use them for playtest counters!
Yeah, I know that they ain't cheap, but it is just an 'it can be done' example. I dare say with volume and wholesale pricing, an MMP could get a much better price.

Problem is that print on demand does not lead to volume discounting. Printing 10 or 20 copies every month or two will be much more expensive per copy that trying to print 1500 or 2000 copies for a print run. It would surprise me if Superior POD offered any type of wholesale pricing. I just assume they offer discounts based on # of sheets.
