Sorry but I don't think you're doing it for the fun of it.

This sounds like you have a business idea and we're your market research and also your main market. If you pull off pre-sales we're also your funding, reducing your risk considerably.

Problem I see is we have no idea who you are and how reliable your company is. You could just as well make 4000 copies to meet the steelbook MOQ, print 4 sets of 1-1000 certs and seal them. Then sell them in different markets. Chances are most collectors won't open theirs and nobody would know better.
Fair enough - charity is always after costs. That's pretty standard practice. And on a project like this, costs are high. There's a reason most people aren't able to just call up Steelbook and make what they want. Plus artists, plus shipping, plus hiring people to put together up to 1000 (x4, 4000) steelbooks for packaging to be shipped.

As far as printing goes - since I will be releasing four titles at once, the costs on that would be exorbitant to do 4000 (x4, 16000). If I had that kind of money, I would already have established charities and businesses and do whatever I want. I wouldn't be someone who, under this username, spends his time getting rid of spare Pokemon Cards on ebay and trading games.
