Review on 🎨 Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Artist Trading Cards - Smooth Surface for Creative Excellence, 20 Sheets: A Perfect Canvas for Your Artistic Masterpieces by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expensive. Save your money and cut your own.

Excellent quality. I won't deny it But they are overpriced. I can cut ten 2.5" x 3.5" cards from a 9" x 12" Strathmore Bristol Board paper. (For reference, 20 sheets of 9" x 12" paper are currently $6.41 on Revain.) So if I cut each sheet out of a 20-sheet notebook, I would have 200 cards for $6.41. If I wanted to buy 200 pre-cut cards from this seller it would cost me $46.70, that's an insane difference. Assuming you don't have the materials to cut the paper into ATC sizes (this is where I'll round to the nearest dollar, prices I've certified top notch today, and extras) 9 x 12" Strathmore Bristol Board, 20 Sheets: $7 (additional) X-acto Knife Z Series: $4 (add-on) Self-Healing Cutting Mat, 12 x 18": $15 Two Westcott Metal Rulers, 12" and 6": $77 + 4 + 15 + 7 equals: $33. For 200 cards. And then when you need the next 200, all you have to do is buy paper, maybe some fresh blades for your x-acto. Less than $10. Seriously, why are they so expensive? For that price we should get at least 100 tickets, not TWENTY. That's ridiculous.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
