We just got a bunch from Amazon, and we like them just fine. I guess
it depends on what they will be used for, and how heavy the use is.

I bought cards from Amazon, but I looked around a little. The Amazon basics
ones had some negative reviews that mentioned how flimsy they were, and
sodid the Oxford. I don't remember the brand I wound up buying. But gues
what? They were some of the more expensive ones.

Mary,
Glad you found something that works for you.
I hope you get the index cards that are made on paper like what Braille
paper is made of. I bought some a few years ago that is like the stuff
really flimsy magazine covers are made of; boy was I surprised and unhappy
when I opened the package. It doesn't hold up too well for long-term use and
gets stuck in the interpoint index card slate. I think they changed the
material to cut costs. Good for them maybe, but not for me. *sad smiley*
More Later,
Dani
