3x5 index cards, 100lb thick, blank unruled (1000 pcs) by Norstrom Dumati vs Roaring Spring Recycled 4x6 Index Cards, 3,600-count case
Overall winner: 3x5 index cards, 100lb thick, blank unruled (1000 pcs) by Norstrom Dumati
Key Differences
Norstrom Dumati (A) supplies 3x5 blank cards on thick 14pt (0.014 in) archival stock and is sold in a single 1,000-card bulk pack, making it better for durability and a lower listed price tier. Roaring Spring (B) offers 4x6 recycled, ruled-front cards in a large case quantity (36 packs x100) with mixed stiffness and some reports of flimsiness, making it more versatile for writing/organization but less consistent in feel
