    Thanks for the reminder! I needed to order some new cards....I've been out for a couple of years. I got the cheap kind, $9.99 for 100.

    Your's is a very nice card. Who will be printing it for you?

    I haven't ordered QSL cards from a printer for years (sorry W4MPY). I've been buying perforated card stock (Avery 8387 or equivalent) and rolling my own. Let's me change the design on a whim, customize as needed. While it might be more cost effective to order cards from a professional, in the relatively small quantities I use at any one time, the cost savings would be minimal.

    Now, that said, I've had an account with Global QSL for years that I've never used. I'm giving some real consideration to having them do a batch of cards... for the same cost as having 1000 color cards printed, they'll also do the mail-merge and put the individual QSO information on each card, AND they'll distribute them to the various world-wide bureaus. I have close to a 1000 QSO's from the last few major contests, so this is a consideration.

    I got my proofs today. Mine won't be near as nice as yours. I have a drawer full of other peoples cards, I guess I should send some of my own out.
