"Why are you so concerned about the quality of your business cards?" <-- I'm definitely a details person. If you are going to put X > 100 hours into making a site look perfect or making a system behave exactly how you want it to behave, then spending half to make a high quality business card hopefully isn't obsessing. I guess I'm partially motivated by the van halen m&m's effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Halen#Contract_riders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Halen#Contract_riders (tl;dr: they asked for a bowl of m&m's with all of the brown ones removed. The band wanted to be sure that the entire contract was read and followed, due to safety concerns, and this is a simple litmus test. Removing all the brown m&m's is a detail-oriented time consuming task) In my context, in regulated industries, attention to detail is critical. Now, the business cards in and of themselves aren't important, but a higher quality business card at least conveys the sense that attention was paid to every detail :)
