Hi Tom,

I thought so also but I watched a couple of cards that sold in a large bunch and had 2 categories, (not mine, unfortunately), and they appeared twice.

I don't know if it happens all the time, perhaps it is only on bulk orders. They are the only ones that are easy to check.

Great thread, BTW. It was getting a little quiet in here.

Everyone has such nice cards and I've enjoyed looking at them all! One that I sold today is http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/shopping/zoom.asp?pid=369130&w=1
but one that I've sold that I'm most proud of is the Longhorn Baseball card http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/community/viewdetails.asp?pid=430992&pag e=1&aid=135811

Enjoyed viewing these cards, no wonder we are the best online. Wink

I do not get many bulk orders, my first bulk was a cardinal for earth day, sold 5.
I sold 26 of this one in May,
One was a bulk sale of 25 >"Happy Half Birthday", and 1 > with no text on the front.
It was even more special to me because it is one of my painting created on my Wacom Tablet.

Congrats everyone...Nice work!

This is one of the first cards I created, I guess in the first 50, anyway. I had a bulk sale of it the other day.

btw: congratulations to everyone who has sold cards. I crossed over the 5,000 mark a few days ago and I have to say, I still get the exact same thrill as when I sold the very first one.

Wow - these are all fascinating to see. Thank you for sharing! Lot's of variety, and I can even see some people doing "new" things. Really cool.

Gina - 5K club! That's impressive! Congratulations!

Got more, post more!

I finally am selling some Father's Day cards, such as this one for a Brother:

Yes, Eugenia I think most of us have seen this downturn. I am a little surprised to see it because I thought GCU was still in growth mode. I would expect to see certain seasonal downturns at some point, but I really did not think we were there yet. Sad

I think I will join you in the sad.

I had only 3 or 4 cards on my site (as I'm slowly building), and I sold this one

http://artist.greetingcarduniverse.com/shopping/zoom.asp?pid=426249

I added a few more to my site after that.... and I'll continue. Wish I had more time. Maybe I need two of me (yikes).
Such a variety of cards sold from everyone. It's very exciting!

I did a rough calculation recently and found that my May 09 sales were the same as May 08!!!! Is that anyone else's experience?

I keep records of all this and although I did sell more this May than last May, when you consider how many new cards I added I have lost ground in sales! I added 1 1/2 times the cards since last May and well my sales are not anywhere near 1 1/2 times more. I am sure some of this is due to the fact that there are overall so many more cards than last year, but I guess we can only say the card additions are outpacing the increase in sales.

I too hope everyone has a good June.

oddly enough my sales for may last year and this year were exactly the same as well, however they were a whopping FIVE dollars for the month. Roll Eyes

i was actually 3 dollars ahead of last year for the same months but all in all with added cards, i feel as kathy did that I have lost ground in sales. no real bulk sales, the most was 7 cards at once i think.

don't anyone fuss at me for sounding crabby about it Cheesy

.. in reality i am just laying out the facts.
