Here is a close up of the metal business card Woz is speaking about in the interview. They are, kind of, ummm, sharp.

Close Up of the Metal Card
I designed a translucent card and two metal cards for Woz. This metal one is the one he showed to Colbert. He wanted something unusual. I mentioned metal to him and he loved the idea. So I designed this card with an additional feature that allows him to shoot a laser through the tiny logo at the top and project an image.

The Frenzy Begins
I was inundated with calls for metal business cards all of a sudden. My business is corporate identity and not necessarily fabrication. For enthusiasts who just want a metal card, I simply forwarded them on to the vendor. Some of the inquiries were actually firms requesting corporate ID and the metal card made sense for them (one was an importer of steel). Those companies have become clients. When I sent some e-mails to metal card manufacturers, they were slow to respond due to, "an unusual amount of inquiries all of a sudden". Pretty funny how things work huh?

Then people really started talking...

Somebody gets a card and puts it up for auction on eBay.
After a few days, the card goes for $560.00
