My intent with generic cards was that no one had to fork over money for a
whole box. You are right though, personalised cards would have more impact.
Probably worth everyone buying their own box.

When personalized you can add things under your name like:

Web Master
Designer, Owner, Operator of Vindicator
Dreamer
Sub Pilot

Would this work? Is it worth the trouble? Would the font and ink color match
what is on the card enough to make it look like it was made that way or would
it look cludged? For the trouble I would buy a whole box.
