Back around 2000 my startup used hand written business cards. There were only a few of us so my artist wife simply wrote them (not using fancy calligraphy, simply clear printed handwriting) and we printed them up on the usual card stock.

I remember handing one to a VC who was mighty impressed and said, "wow, the software you used is amazing. Each character varies slightly. I'm impressed."

We didn't get an investment from their firm though; impressive as the cards may have been our actual product didn't appeal to them.
