Grimey hands?

[jenny4wheel]

For those of you who sell single cards at craft fairs and such--How do you keep the grimey hands (and ALL our hands are grimey after a day at a fair! ;) ) off of your cards? From what I've seen surfing SCS single cards tend to do a little better than packs, so how do you keep your cards clean as the customers flip through them?

Hi Jenny! I just put mine in cheap ziplock baggies! Good luck!

My cards actually sell better in packs. I do 4 cards w/envelopes in a large, flat cello bag (which I buy from myself of course!) and sell it for $8. Or I sell three packs (total of 12 cards/env's) for $20. 99% of the time, I sell three packs.

And the cello bags keep my cards clean!

I buy card jackets from www.clearbags.com . Great prices and quick shipping. They have just about anything you could think of.

I always decorate envelopes to match my cards. I put the card in, then slip the envelope in behind the back of the card with the decorated front of the envelope showing.

Card jackets are great, too, because the buyer can look inside the card before they buy. The jackets are slick, too, and slide in and out of the racks more easily than bare cardstock.

By the way, when my buddies and I do craft fairs, we remove the card jackets at the time of sale and no one complains. We tell them the jackets are there just to protect their beautiful cards until they are "in the bag".

I saw the card jackets on clearbags.com. Do they cover the entire card? If so, does this make the card bulky for storage? Their prices are great and I've heard good things about their customer service, so I might give them a try.
