Why Nature's Ire, Forgotten Souls and Dark Elements expansions card quality is so poor?

By Alooza, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

I just bought 3 missing expansions to my descent collection and noticed, that expansions mentioned in the title of this post have very poor quality. Just look at this terrible cut of the cards!

I am only one experiencing this? Is there any explanation for such poor quality?

Mine have not this trouble.

I have only one POD (Lost Legends) and it has a few differences:

-Colors are more intense (most noticeable with the blue healer card backs)

-Cards lack a linen finish

-All the card images are skewed 1.5 cm to the left (to the right for the card backs)

It’s difficult to make out on your photo. Are the images rotated just a little bit? I have that on my Crown Of Destiny cards. The cards are rotated just enough that the cell with the master monster defense has its lower border cut off.

I will post a photo shortly.

You can see that the sleeves are aligned. It really is skewed that much. Is that what I’m seeing in your photo, @Alooza ?

In my cards expansion icons and card numbers are cut out. Images are not in line (little bit rotated). Although, cards are correct size

Probably something went wrong during the cutting phase of the cards. Mine have no problem

All FFG's POD things are subpar compared to their usual stuff. POD are printed in the US, normal ones - China. It is clearly the printer's fault, why the US printer is much worse, that's beyond me.
