In the past we have ordered Christmas Cards from the National Railroad Museum, However we haven't got a notice from them in the last year or so, and I just looked at their website and see no mention of Christmas cards. Did they stop selling them?

Any suggestions on where to look on the site or get similar cards?

Chris.....

I just sent my order in after receiving their promo packet for Christmas cards. They sent about 5 or 6 samples. Here is the phone number on the back of their sample card to call for ordering:

1-800-556-5494

Hope this helps you.

I was wondering the same thing as Chris. In past years, I've received one and sometimes two mailings for their Christmas cards, but nothing this year. It could be that they haven't received an address change for me since I moved to Ohio, but I assume they get their mailing list from the TCA, NMRA, or one of the other organizations I belong to, and that the list is updated annually.

In any event, they are nice cards and I still have a good many, of different varieties, left over from previous years when I ordered far more than I needed just because I liked the cards. I figure they never really go out of date, so ones issued in prior years are still perfectly good for use this year or in the future.

I’ve gotten the mailing for as long as I can remember, even though I never placed an order. I didn’t get one this year however. Perhaps they are sending out their mailings more judiciously, due to the economy.

I think this company was at York selling Christmas cards. These may be the same ones that the museum sells.

I called the number Tex provided, here is the website handling the cards for the museum http://www.holidaycardcenter.org/train

I was not in their database, so it sounds like they may have cleared out a few names (we didn't order any last year)

I do like the leaning tree cards SWANKO posted a link to, will have to look at both

I received a packet from them recently with if I recall pretty much the same selection of cards as in the past. I've never ordered from them at all ???. Some nice cards though.

While I did get the mailing from the National Train Museum, I found the Leaning Tree cards in the Orange Hall at October York. At 2 boxes for $15, I couldn't pass them up. You can't go wrong ordering from either company.

I received a packet of sample cards from the NRM two weeks ago. There are some very nice cards. I may order from them for next year.

I've ordered cards from NRM for the past 7 years including this year. I really like the cards. It never fails that they send me 3 or 4 sample packs over 2 months time. I advised them of this so that they may keep costs down. So this year I got 5 sample packs.
Roll Eyes Better then none, I guess.
