Also be aware that some business card blank sheets are
perforated. That means that you have to punch out the cards.
Some people feel that it looks cheap. Although I expect that it
would depend upon the person to whom you are handing it. Some
will just see, "printed card" and view it as professional.
Others may be more picky or critical.
I seem to recall seeing some blanks that don't look perforated
(at somewhat higher cost), so look carefully at your local office
supply store/warehouse.

Yes, Its a good idea for low volume but I have the same impression about
the perforated stock.

Good point, although I don't know how often people turn it over and look--at
least, not right away. I probably should have specified that I'm happy with
this cheap solution because the basic quality is acceptable AND my cards are
not really a marketing tool. If they were, I'd get the best, eye-catching
professional design and printing I could afford.

Jeez, it only takes a few scrolls down to avoid top-posting.
Seriously, if I don't think the ad on the back is causing me any problem,
why would I spend that couple of dollars on the no-ad cards as opposed to
something I can really enjoy, like, say, a couple of double cheeseburgers
