How do I print my home-made pokemon cards?
So I have made my own pokemon expansion that is based on a text based RPG I made called Mapping Mentara. It has 15 cards with 6 secret cards, for a total of 21 cards. I sized them perfectly and have them in publisher, while using the modern japanese card backs, cause they look just plain cool. Now, I checked many different sources to find out what paper to use to print them, and so far, I have decided that the best ive seen is using photopaper and to stick them together with Adhesive Spray. Ive heard "High quality paper", "Card stock and other recycleable materials" and such and such. I really thing that Photopaper and Adhesive Spray is the best, but im not sure I have those things, and Ive heard they are way to expensive. I want to give it a glossy look, and not that "holy crap this are incredibly fake" feel and look that cardstock gives. Plus I can do the whole "put it on a common card" thing, but then I cant use my cool card backs, and it wont be as real to me. Even then, what paper would I use? All I need is something in-expensive or something that is found commonly in households, that gives it a realistic feel and look to it.
Update:Well, as I just found out, we dont have adhesive spray, and we probably dont have photo paper, and if we do then its probably not the right size.
Update 3:This is a dog carrier. This has nothing to do with pokemon cards.

Photo paper would look too glossy anyways, ans its not all that cheap.
Getting it to look real would be card to expensiva as you would need high quality card and an industrial printer. I would juggest buy a load of Japanese Pokemon Cards (Common ones that are super cheap) and then print your cards onto good printing paper or very thin card with a decent printer, then just stick them onto the Japanese cards.

Are you going to sell these as actual cards, or have them for fun? Depending on what you answer, I have a couple of answers for you. Just add details to your question after scrolling over 'edit.'
