The one side could be passable, if the other side didn't have a bright red that's totally faded looking. Ugh same boat here, they totally look like I made them myself.

They turned out readable like yours, which made it worse. They're too embarrassing to give out, yet I didn't want to re-order because I dropped $150 and have a boatload of cards that are still technically usable. And they're still sitting in their sealed (save one) boxes in my bottom desk drawer. Still can't make myself toss them...
