These cards are the real deal. I can only gush on the quality, card itself is hard stock as you would get in a store on a regular card, colors are printed bright and popping (mine has been on a desk in sunlight daily and still looks brand new, kept sealed), and in one of those plastic resealable sleeves that you get in one of the higher end greeting cards you would find in a Hallmark store. That is so awesome to hear they are doing so well.
