I'd be down for printing you some.  Is $3 each shipped fair? I'm not sure what the right price is.

I'm just gonna take stab, but I would say around $5 a case with a high quality print on acid free paper wouldn't be to bad a price.

I'll even break it down some. (From my point of view anyway)

Cases with shipping is a little less than $1 a case.
The ink/paper/cutting time about $2
Then the shipping would between $1 and $2 a case.

That's my educated guess anyway lol.

I've found 2 sites online selling cases -- one's at just under $5, one's at about $9, so yeah if you're supplying the UGC as well, I'd say $5 shipped is very fair.

That being said, OP if you have a local print shop, I'd look into them -- the case of 100 UGCs is about $85ish to your door in the US and the place I get my stuff printed from is about 75ish cents a piece for legal sized full color prints (I forget exactly how much, it's been a while)... So that's under $2 a pop to do it myself.  BUT that involves some upfront investment on buying a case of UGCs.
