As a manager...the most important thing is to have a call that I can 
decipher...not some cutesy lettering, call and info on the same side of 
the card, proper qso information, means of return  (ie return envelope 
and postage), and REGULAR size envelopes.. You don't need to send your 
card in a 5x7 :-) Nest your return properly so it does not get cut when 
the main envelope is opened, its real easy to nest it properly. I do not 
give any priority to fancy cards, however, cards without envelopes and 
postage are delayed permanently.
