I wonder what it would cost to get a bunch of cards printed up that just say "Matthew 6:5-6", suitable to hand to subway/streetcorner religious ranters.

One can buy a box of laser-printer business cards, or postcards, and simply print them out.

And I have some of the former. Let's talk.

I had to look it up. Good one.

I did too (and, irritatingly enough, my copy of the King James is inaboxsomewhere) but yes, nice one!

Yes, yes, indeed yes.

As roadnotes pointed out, it's easy enough to print small quantities yourself. It comes down to how many you expect to hand out -- there are places that to really cheap business cards if you don't want anything fancy, and this is about as simple as it gets. Startup cost will be more than printing a batch yourself, but the price per card is a lot lower.

I like to stick to Matthew 6:1 myself. The Revised English Bible has it as somthing like "Be careful not to parade your religion before others, for if you do, no reward awaits you with your Father in Heaven".

The brand new Swedish translation has "pious deeds" instead of religion there.

http://www.vistaprint.com/ has an offer for 250 free business cards.

Oh, good one.

BTW, nice to see your face. LJ is like Times Square, hang around long enuf and everyone you know shows up. (I'm sure you can deduce my identity from my profile, but if not, let me know :) )

Given that King James is falling out of common usage (to my ongoing irritation), you might want to specify it on the card.

Vistaprint, bless its pointy-headed HTML, first pointed out that I need cookies. When I accepted those, it required me to turn on JavaScript. Okay. Then it let me browse, and pick a background I liked.

When I actually tried to begin ordering cards, it informed me that my browser is not supported. Now, I might be able to dig out Netscape 4.x to replace my Netscape 6.2, or I could have gone back using IE, but at that point I was just too annoyed to continue. In part because it seemed entirely possible that it would then decide that it didn't like my IP address, or something equally arbitrary.

Euw.

iPrint works with my Safari browser and I think you can get 250 cards for $20. Cookies and java/script would certainly be required since they let you design the card online. They also offer stickers. Don't know the price for those.
