Discussion: More Advice Needed on State Selection for Different Use Cases
Building on our previous discussions about choosing a state, I wanted to start a more focused thread for members who are looking for IDs for specific "use cases." We’ve covered general advice for beginners, but what about someone who needs a card for a specific region? Or someone who wants a state with the most "modern" security features? Let’s talk about strategic state selection. How do we choose?
For some people, choosing a state that is physically "far away" is the best strategy. The logic is that people in your local area might not be familiar with the security features of a state from across the country. However, others argue that choosing a neighboring state is better because it’s more common to see them. Let’s talk about the trade-offs. What works best?
Top Recommended States for Different Strategies
- Far-Away Strategy: Look for states with standard but secure designs like Utah or Oregon if you’re on the East Coast.
- Neighbor Strategy: Choose a state that is frequently seen in your area but that you know the top vendors have perfected.
- Modern Strategy: Go with states like Pennsylvania or the new Texas design if you want the absolute latest in security feature replication.
I’m currently leaning towards Oregon for my next order because I love the modern look and the top vendors seem to have it nailed. What are your thoughts? For those who have been around for a while, which states have you found to be the most "reliable" in your experience? Let’s share our strategic tips!
