I've been jealous for years of my friend's DMC colour card. She has one with real DMC cotton samples on it, whereas I only have a boring old printed one.

I thought the real thread ones were pretty much unavailable now, unless you picked one up on Ebay or somewhere, but I was just at Scarlett Letter and saw

DMC COTTON FLOSS COLOR CARD WITH ACTUAL COTTON THREAD SAMPLES - $24.95

Another thing for the wishlist.....
