I have found that the card stock is of a low quality when compared to other
CCGs out there. The ink comes off rather easily, cards stick together and
are subsequently ruined if there is even a bit of moisture. The only
reason I haven't complained about is because: 1. Of the 10 or so messages
I've sent to fasacorp2@***.com, I've only gotten 1 response. 2. They can't
do anything about it now. and 3. I don't really care what the cards look like,
as long as I can still read and use them. (this may change when tournaments
start being formed and the cards could be considered marked)

I can just see it now....
Disqualify him judge. He has a fingerprint on the upper right corner on that
card and one in the lower left on that one. It must be some kind of marking
system...

Yes, I do have a few cards with finger prints on them already. I'm the player
who likes to hold his hand rather then put them face down on the table.
I've played and owned a lot of cards for Magic, Star Trek, Blood Wars and
Wildstorms and I have yet to see such a quick degredation in cards. Then again
it might be because the Shadowrun Cards have a much darker tone, so the white
finger prints show up easily...
