Where does one get blank cards.
I thought of an idea for a game last night. I worked out the rules, designed the cards, etc. Now I just need to produce a set to begin test playing it.
Where would one get blank cards?
They should be the size of a standard playing card (about 2.5 by 3.5 inches) and I would like to be able to run them through my printer (I don’t want to hand write all the cards).
So, does anyone know of a supplier for these?

Avery has printer-ready cards in a variety of sizes. I didn’t see any at 2.5x3.5, but I didn’t look too long, either. I did see everything from business cards to index cards, so maybe you’ll find some that will work.
ThanksAthena.
Avery was my first thought too, but I didn’t see the card size either.
I’m sure that I’m not the first person who has had this request, so I’m fairly certain that there must be a provider for these.

This page advocates printing them on photo quality printer paper and then laminating them. There’s lots of hints on making them there, too.
For what it’s worth, a Google search on Inkjet Playing Cards came up with lots of pages.
Another possible source would be with any local Teaching/Educational Supply stores.
Well, I ended up getting Avery labels (5395) and applying them to a standard deck of cards. Probably won’t stand up to heavy wear, but as a prototype it works OK. The cards are a little more difficult to shuffle, but it’ll do for now.
Thanks to everyone who helped.
