Too flimsy

First I only wanted 100 but they only came in packs of 500 if you wanted no lines. They are really flimsy and thin. I was hoping for more substance. The only good thing was the price but if I'd have known they were so thin I wouldn't have bought them.
Use Index Cards for To Do lists facts-to-remember for my carry-around Jotter as well as bedside and desk note-taking. Prefer the plain white to the lined as can jot notes in either direction or draw on them Good as bookmarks with opportunity to make notes on some read information. The larger pack you sell is proportionately cheaper than the regular small packs most stationers carry.
These are wonderful as for writing down reminders while giving speeches. These note pads can also be used as everyday reminders when shopping. I have also used them as tiny reminders as sketches when on trips to let me remember what the main picture looked like when I begin to draw a picture. They can also be used as tiny little palettes in this way a different shade can be created and I can write as the bottom of this color so later I can see which colors I mixed to make the color again. I like that is package has at least 500 notepads and they are divided by 100 to a package this way the rest are protected in the plastic wrap so moisture will not deteriorate them or they won't get damaged so when I open the next package I know that they will be as good to use as the day I purchased them.
it's more like paper stock than card stock. You have you write very quick with a Sharpie otherwise it will bleed through. I used Crayola markers to reduce the amount of bleed through.
