I have been reading the various threads/geeklists relating to Arts Cow Card Decks, and thought it may be handy to have a list of all the card sets that people have had done, with direct links to the albums they have made.
So if you have made a deck and would like to share the files with others, add it to the list.
PLEASE NOTE: Some items have been removed from this list as they violate the site policies against posting content which aids in making copies of published games without clear consent from the rights holders. Please do not post items that fall into this category.
It has been suggested that this list might be better in alphabetical order, to assist in finding games. So now it is. 
If you want some good advice on how to successfully make a deck, visit this thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/395699
UPDATE: "There has been some confusion about how to create a link to read-to-buy cards, but I think with the help of Wulf Corbett and Grimwald, we've worked it out. To create an album of pre-edited cards with an 'add to cart option', the album creator should click the link in the Silverlight editor that says 'share with friends'. Then, on the next screen where you can email to a friend, you have to click the checkbox that says 'Allow add to cart'. That provides you with a working link that can be posted. I believe (though I'm not certain) that this does not allow you to go through the process of editing the album to combine decks, customize and such, so this method does subtract some utility." - As suggested by Nick L (nicodemus055)

Shanghein is a two-player pirate game, so I've done a retheme using Lego Pirate of the Caribbean. Images are from the Lego PotC Brikipedia site, fine for non-commercial use.
The base game has 40 sailors in 8 colours (Suites)
and eight Trick cards
In addition 4 expansions have been done and made available to download and print, 3 of these consist of a pair of cards and 1 a single card. The latest is the Crazy Captain, that I went with Davy Jones
Combining all these gives you 55 cards. So I have done version for each in my retheme and uploaded to an artscow album:
http://www.artscow.com/ShareAlbum.aspx?Key=hagaxosg
this includes a card back
To get a full single 54 card deck you may want to omit the third expansion ExtraKart-3 (sh3-extra3) which is a single card placed to one side up for one player to use first - it makes sense to have this on a thicker card tile.
Finally if you haven't used artscow yet, please use http://www.artscow.com/?Ref=586939 to sign up (my referral link) as it gets me quarter of a credit towards a card deck.

I've ordered a set of my redesign of Slapshot (which you can read about here). And I thought I'd share the album in case anyone wanted to do the same.
The Artscow album I've uploaded has: 84 Player cards, 3 blank Player cards, 1 card back, and 1 cover art. It requires two 54-card decks to complete.
You will have to download the rest of the files (the rules, the gameboard, etc) from BGG at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/40498.

Now you can order professionally printed Snack Factory cards directly from Artscow:
Deck Link
This game requires only a single deck of 54 game cards, making it ideal for special deals!
Here's the link to the file to make your own tuckbox to hold the game cards, reference cards, rules and score sheets.
(Updated: This game was affected by the Artscow server crash of 05/2010. The deck has been rebuilt and the direct link updated.)

So here it is -- the first link to a deck of ROUND cards at ArtsCow!
I found out about this game recently, and got interested in developing some play aids for it. I ended up downloading the materials from the author's web site and putting together these round cards which represent all the planets and star systems (and even asteroid belts) in the game. Normally the planets in the game are constructed by putting together various planet-hemisphere cards -- one planet will be card A with card C, for example. I made round images for every planet in the game, as well as reproducing the original half-planet cards in round form. I also made new star system cards that you can put the planets with. There are enough cards to construct all 10 of the star systems, as well as an instruction card and a card with counters.
To use these, choose the "Custom Playing Cards 54 (Round)" product instead of the usual "Custom Playing Cards 54 designs" product. Other than that, the designer works pretty much the same. Remove the poker text, auto-fill these images into the deck, and duplicate the A through K cards twice if you want to be able to make a random planet with two of the same letter. That will come out to an even 54 cards (plus the back).
Anyway, it's been a fun design exercise. I hope some of the fans of this game get a kick out of it.
EDIT: Deleted link to the ArtsCow album at the request of the person currently distributing the game online. The license that allows for this doesn't allow for commercial distribution of the game art -- so now it's time for me to design my own planet cards. Here's what they looked like with the original game artwork:

This deck actually has the adventure cards for all the Starship Catan expansions. Since each adventure deck had different backs as well as having a sequence number on it, I made a generic back for all the cards. The differentiation is on the front. Since what you do with these is sort the cards by group first and then randomize within the group, I didn't think it was too bad to have you look at the fronts to tell the group, shuffle each group and then stack. You'll know where you are when you turn them over.
Also included are refugees for the second expansion. There are 56 refugee tokens in the expansion. I have six per card, so you fill up 10 cards. Also, there is a card for the Teldur planet for expansion 2.

Steam Lords is a game of resource management for 2 ruthless players. To win you must use your resources wisely to construct 12 victory points worth of buildings along the Shale River which runs through the different quarters of the City of Iron.
Expanded game cards included for a longer game. Players must provide 35 markers in each of 2 colors (small eurocubes suggested)

from Ea Tonnesen at http://www.pressefoto.dk/t2r/
The artscow album includes:
--50 destination tickets
--20 special tickets that can be stacked separately or mixed with the destinations. You'll need to print 2 artscow decks to include all the special tickets.
--2 pieces of board graphic. Each graphic can be printed on three 8 x 10 sheets (the artscow 8x10 collage), resulting in a board about 19.5 x 21.5 inches. Copy the same graphic to 3 sheets, and use the artscow tools to size and adjust the image appropriately. This might be slightly smaller than the design size, but it should be playable.
You can use USA or Europe rules and pieces. If you use USA rules, just ignore the ferries and tunnels.

I've used some files loaded under Ticket to Ride Europe for a United Kingdom map, to create an album for the UK tickets.

The back of the cards is low quality, so hopefully someone can come up with a higher resolution image. If you do, please let me know!
The poor image quality is now resolved.

I wanted a retheme with clearer graphics - I seemed to spend too much time peering at the icons. So here is a re-theme based on the Godfather game with clear icon graphics. The Roman Numeral ranks from the back are now on the face as well as the number of each card required depending on number of players (2-5) represented by bullet holes.
The original is a 60 card game, or 65 single sided cards (if using the 54-deck on artscow) as the 5 Fool/Charlatan are double sided in the original. Opinion on BGG is that this game doesn't play well as a 5 player, and so you can fit an up to 4 players version in a single card deck (its 50 single sided cards). To this end the file names have the number of copies of that card required to fit in a single deck in their title. The remaining places could be used for player aides or something.

The designer created several web expansions for the game. One of them was called Treasure Trove and included a 54 card deck of treasure. I cleaned up and converted the Treasure Trove deck to work with Artscow card printing. Turned out pretty good.

Note, there are two options of card 22 (mass fall) and apparently you only need on of the two. Card images based on file by tmredden.

I made these pretty quickly so you might want to move the images up or down a bit. Only the card back for the regular deck should need zooming, but you could probably do without it.
