Sparknotes Blank Study Cards Out of Print / Unavailable?
June 17, 2013 2:36 PM Subscribe
I've been studying Japanese for several years, and have always used the Sparknotes series of blank study cards - they seem to now be out of print, and I haven't gotten a clear answer from the company if/when they will become available again. I've filled in about 10,000+ of them and really don't want to switch my filing system to another size/style of cards, but manually cutting new ones will take way too long - does anyone know if/when they will become available again, or of an EXACT sized similar set of cards? Thank you.
From your link, they seem to be the exact size of business cards. If not, are they smaller? If a print shop, as per advicepig's suggestion, doesn't work, you might try Googling business card sellers, and see if they can give you stock in that size.

It looks like the size of the cards are 3.5 x 2.25. That is the standard size for playing cards, Bridge size to be exact. This company sells blank cards, 500 for $15.98

Wait, the size is 3.52" by 2.11". Slightly less wide (or tall, depending) than 2.25".
For comparison, I measured one of my business cards (standard size, as far as I can tell), and it's almost exactly 3.52", but slightly shorter than 2.11": about 2.05", I think.

The Luxe style of Moocards is a little closer: 3.3inches x 2.17inches / 84mm x 55mm
Maybe you can just order blank cards. I've gotten a few different sizes of their cards before and they also come in a nifty little box, if storage matters.

Moo is a European company with a US presence, and the size in metric is nice and round, so maybe that's a lead.
