Now you can have up to 3 different designs made on the 9 pack custom order.
OR
You can have up to 6 different designs made on the 18 pack custom order.
If you think about it, that's the perfect amount - 3 of each design. 1 to use on your MINI, 1 as a back-up and one to give to a friend (or your resident online badge addict
)

Looks like they've changed it up at Cooper Flags:

Here are the items that I bought.
Circle Cutter:

Magnet Sheets:

Waterproof Vinyl Sheets:
http://www.texascraft.com/hps/produc...cat=255&page=1
Waterproof UV Overlaminate:
http://www.texascraft.com/hps/produc...cat=298&page=1
The circle cutter will cut the 30 mil magnet sheet with one pass. However to cut the 60 mil it takes 2 passes. I use c-clamps to clamp the cutter into place so it does not move and I am able to get a good cut on the 60 mil. If I can get the roller blades for the cutter sharpened more it would probably cut the 60 mil in one pass.

is the UV coating sheet for preventing color fade?
Fool68 added to the list ready to ship.
I thought I had some other names.

Cool. If you decide to get the 18 pack from cooper flags and you want to get them made I can get you the artwork.
Hey guys! I got two in the mail today: Fool68's and Dickdavid's. Cool! I usually keep my personalized badge collection at work - I'll have to take a pic of the growing collection to show you guys. 
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack
Okay, I've been AWOL for the past few weeks (haven't even had time to log on to NAM. Work has calmed down a bit now, and I can finally catch up on my delinquent trading!
So, if you've PMd, emailed, or posted a message to me about trading, send me a PM now and I'll get a Wellington badge in the mail to you ASAP. I'm actually going out of town in the morning, but I'm taking badges and padded envelopes with me to get things mailed!
Thanks for your patience.

Mishka , Received your badge today, I will get one out to you today.
thanks, looks sharp
I think I have sent out badges to everyone that asked or I received , but if I missed someone let me know.
And for anyone else who still wants to trade , just ask.

I keep hearing from folks who want to trade badges, but are afraid to commit. With some of the solutions that I've seen on this thread, I can't see why they couldn't.
On a side note, I was at the dealership yesterday and picked up a MINI Takes The States 2008 metal badge. It probably won't see my MINI, but it will be part of my MUCH smaller metal badge collection.

Hey, I resemble that remark!!! No, really, I've coordinated w/ CooperFlags for mine. (Due to time constraints, I'm obliged to contract out the work!) Two designs, so for those who have already sent their badges to me, DANKE! And mine will be here in the near future...I promise.
