Check out thecardconnection.com

They've done my cards several times now, and I'm always pleased. Instead of a traditional business card, the cards are like trading cards, bigger and usually with a color photo on one side and all the info on the other. The idea is that people are more likely to save the card if it's a trading card. The cost is $97 for 1000 cards and the contact is Janell. Good luck.

That must be why your name and picture seemed vaguely familiar to me. One of your cards was in the sample pack that Janell sent out a year or two ago.

You're right, Fitzwilly! My card WAS a sample. Geez, how did you remember that? Did she do your cards too?

No, I have never had her do my cards but I have talked to her a couple of times and I keep an idea morgue of clown cards that I pull out when it is time to reorder and I am considering a change.

We agree with Tic Tock. We started out making our own business cards on the computer but when we were ready to do volume we went to our local printer. We've referred several people to them 'cause they did such a good job, and they've referred several to us!

Bodiddly, I got mine at staples too. I made them on the computer at home. Printed a sheet, Took them up there and it was the wrong size for their machine. They girl worked with it and it turned out better than what I did! I highly recommend my Staples! And they were done in 15 min. All under $50 for 500 how cool is that

Yea I sent then a picture and told them what else I wanted on them . We exchanged 2 or 3 emails to get the font and the color of the print the way I wanted. The hole process took about 2 hrs .$6.00 a hundrend after the $20.00 set up fee is cheep.
