I have been collecting business cards since I was about 10, when I picked one up while in Tijuana with my dad. I kept it because I liked a hat at this one shop and I wanted to go back and buy it some day (I never did!). I wanted to collect cards to show in our county fair in San Diego, where they have many hobby shows (I never did that, either!). I didn't know there were other collectors out there until the 80's when I worked with a guy who said he collected them (or used to, I think). I saw other card collectors later at the San Diego County Fair, too. Then I started collecting more actively in the last ten years when I found the IBCC and joined the club and mailing list. Now I trade with 5-6 people regularly. I even started the young daughter of a friend in the hobby! Now I have more cards than I can display or go through, but I hope to get them organized sometime. ~Suzanne
Please feel free to send me cards you don't want at: P.O. Box 882 Magnolia, AR 71754 However, I do not have time for new traders, sorry! I have all I can handle. (Please visit IBCC as noted above to find traders.) If you send me cards through the mail, I might not reply for a very long time or send you any cards. If you want me to send you money for postage, I can do that, but you must let me know in your email or letter.
This picture was from when we lived in Lubbock (97-01) and I was sorting them on our small table. I have way more than fit into this picture. I sort them whenever I have a little time, using photo boxes. When I get all of them sorted into categories, I will attempt to alphabetize them. Then I will enter the data into a spreadsheet in the computer and possibly scan them in as well. I'm sure I will find MANY duplicates when I alphabetize them. I have thousands now and not much free time for sorting, so it will take quite a while.
Here's what the cards look like now (most of them) in my new hall closet in Arkansas. I have more boxes in another closet. (click on the photo to see it larger)

You can use Google Translate to translate to Italian if that will help. BTW I do not know Fabio, so please do not involve me in any trade disputes or questions.

Fedex Business Cards
DO NOT USE VistaPrint! I have ordered cheap cards from them in the past, including magnetic cards--great deals! However, I don't use them any more because they gave my credit card information to one of their ad companies, without my permission, and they then charged me for something I did not agree to, and VistaPrint did not help me out at all. They continued to spam me both through email and snail mail for years, even though I repeatedly asked them not to. :(
