I love the idea of a game built-into the card that engages the recipient and focuses them on your name long enough to encourage short-term to long-term memory transfer.

I’m not sure it’s possible to have more awesomesauce in ‘card’ form. That said, they don’t fit into any kind of card holder, are easy to lose in your pocket of loose change, and reputedly cost about $3 per coin to make. I’m good for fairly pricey cards, but that’s pushing it.

I dig the receipt feeling of this one. It would definitely stand out in a pocket full of cards – check it out in large size on Flickr to see the details.

I love the idea of this one but I’m not 100% down with the execution. The scratch off bit is really clever, but the heavy “hire me” focus is, I think, too much. I would have gone with witty or funny answers to the meaning of life and printed a whole bunch of them.

So! Since you might well be on the receiving end of my shiny new cards, what’s the best thing you’ve seen? Worst card you’ve ever had? What would make you remember a card you’d been handed? Does that change if you’re at a networking event and have a whole pocket full?
