 How to grade vintage cards
This card, which is 1950 Bowman #245 Papai, was given a grade of VG/EX by me, perhaps a bit optimistically, due to grime or toning (I can't remember what I decided that was) and wear on the corners.
The card to the left has a corner that could appear on an NM card if it was the only corner like this, but the card had four corners like this, or similar to this but with dings, too.
Kids might do this because the card is too big to fit into something they want it to fit in, and older people might do this because they want to trim away bad corners or a worn edge, in an effort to increase the apparent grade of the card.

 Observer | How to be card sharp, by professor of plastic
The general rule is that overdrafts and cards should be used to finance short-term borrowing, while loans are more suitable for larger purchases that cannot be paid off in a few months.
To get the most out of the card deals, you need the discipline, and sufficient income, to keep knocking back the debt.If you want to borrow over a longer period, don't look just at the short-term rate on a card: consider the standard rate as well and compare this with rates for personal loans.
Borrowers who find that they cannot keep up with payments on a string of cards may be encouraged by their bank manager to take out a personal loan to repay the whole debt.

 Getting On-line Anywhere with Bluetooth and GPRS | Linux Journal
When the Sharp Bluetooth CF card is inserted, the kernel PCMCIA card services module parses the card information structure (CIS) tuples resident in the card's attribute memory and passes them up to the user mode cardmgr dæmon.
Card services then invokes the serial_cs module's PCMCIA event handler and signals a card insertion event, which configures the socket and makes the card available to the system.
When data is received by the Sharp card, the legacy UART driver's receive interrupt service routine invokes the receive entry point registered by the N_HCI line discipline, which in turn calls the receive function of the corresponding HCI transport protocol.

 Cheating at poker and video poker shuffling
A card mechanic, or card sharp -- not to be confused with card shark -- is a card cheat who specializes in sleight-of-hand card manipulation.
A card manipulator will use what is known as the "mechanic's grip," a handclasp of the cards that makes it easier to deal not only seconds, but from the bottom, or even from the middle of the deck.
In actuality though, once the hand is completed, cards are reshuffled and that seven of diamonds you discarded the last hand can easily appear as the first card dealt on the next.

In most airline programs, the number of miles earned for credit card use is second only to miles earned for actually flying, supporting the theory that frequent flyer schemes have evolved into frequent buyer programs.

 Stay card sharp with your travel money
You can do little about the exchange rate, but when fees for making cash withdrawals from an ATM machine are added to a 'loading fee' it is clear that looking at ways to keep these charges to a minimum will help.
Nationwide's credit card doesn't apply a foreign exchange loading fee when you make a purchase or withdrawal, so if you pay off the amount borrowed in full each month you can save.
Recently, though, the Post Office has announced it will not charge a loading fee at all on its credit card, for both purchases and cash withdrawals, although you will still face a fee for using an ATM machine abroad.
