Okay, I'm having my cartoon characters put on decks. How much should I charge? The manufacturer does awesome work and all I'm doing is allowing my licensing division to slabby some toons on the decks.

Youse can see my stuff on my website link.

Based on the well known character; you have a sound base for royalty payments.
Charge per piece if possible, a flat useage fee might not be as lucrative to you.
However royalties can be hard to secure.
Exact prices depend on retail sales amounts.

Just be patient and give yourself lots of room to negotiate.
Good Luck!!!

Thanks! But these decks are being manufactured 'under' my control. The manufacturer makes them at a set price and I add my markup on them. So what's the regular market value for a well made deck and what's considered too high?

40-45 for a standard pro madel.
Custom and specialty decks might be more.
