saw this on a few design forums this morning and thought i would pass it along here. typically the buy-in on letterpress work is about $300 or so. (this isn't for cheapest business cards but cheapest letterpress cards.)

The Mandate Press was kind enough to send us a box of 250 custom letterpress cards last week. They have a really good deal going right now for anyone in need of some new cards - normally they charge $95
