Too many IFBBs now that they are using cheap paper as a card ?

Yep printed for 5 cents in the back office!
Even GNC's gold card given for free at the Olympia Expo is a much higher quality plastic card!
Edit: I guess it has always been cheapish, but was a bit better quality a while back

I've seen more impressive train tickets.
But don't worry, if you work hard and make your way up the ladder eventually you'll win awesome trophies.
We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
IFBB brahs über alles.

Hehe...some good responses here.
Reminds me of one of those cheap club sub cards without the colour or decent logo.

The whole thing is weird
It says IFBB Pro® it should say IFBB Professional Card..
The fact it says "Pro" looks really amateur. Never mind the skewed name and the one card for athlete, judge and official.
Whoever made the cards is also probably the same person in charge of the lighting, stage decorations and entire event.
I always cringe at how unprofessional things are... just because the sport is a niche cult sport, doesn't mean it needs to be ghetto.

What the actual fuk? You could scan that and reprint it on 250gsm board with your copying machine at work. Literally. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Edit it in photoshop to state your own name and congratulations, you're a new IFBB Pro (registered trademark, of course).
They could at least add a textured or gloss laminate to it from a business card store, it would cost them an extra 30 cents per card. 1,000 high quality laminated business cards should cost them no more than $70 - that's WITH a middle-man markup. And they're printing this crap? I'm absolutely mind blown. Even custom made plastic cards (like credit cards) would cost them only around $100 for 1,000.
Seriously, what the fuk? This makes no sense and is utterly shameful. My local gym membership card costs more than this to produce. I get an identification card that is laminated, color, and features my picture... And I get a plastic laminated card with a barcode to swipe in. This is unbelievably cheap and pathetic.
No wonder bodybuilding is such a joke. Pour your money, mental and physical health in to an industry that can't even reward you a decent membership card. What a fukking disgrace.
EDIT: I used to play weekly poker at the pub. It was free. No sign up fee, nothing to play. The card they give you is worth 2-3 times as much as this POS is worth. I'm absolutely serious. I'd take a picture of it, if I had enough postsLast edited by Curiouscat9; 01-24-2015 at 08:55 AM.

a)The card looks good to me, black and white is popular these days, and especially matt colours. You can buy expensive cars in matt paint finishes these days.
b)I would also suggest the material making up the card has been specially chosen to be water resistant, IFBB pros do sweat especially in hot weather.
c)The card has been carefully designed so an security gaurds who need to identify an athlete can do so quickly and easily HOWEVER.......................>
I would recommend putting at least a photograph on the card and also contest bodyweight and width factor.TEAM WOLF + TEAM KAI +TEAM CEDRIC + TEAM ROMGLE - TEAM RAMY - TEAM FAIR JUDGING
