Discussion: More Advice Needed on State Selection for Different Regions
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 "regions." We’ve covered general advice for beginners, but what about someone who needs a card that will be used in the South versus the West Coast? Let’s talk about strategic state selection for different areas. 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. Let’s talk about the trade-offs. What works best in different regions?
Top Recommended States for Different Regions
- East Coast: Look for states with standard but secure designs like Utah or Oregon if you want something "exotic."
- West Coast: Pennsylvania or the new Texas design are often good choices for the same reason.
- The South: Georgia or North Carolina are great "local" options that top vendors have perfected.
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 different regions? Let’s share our strategic tips!
