cards printed on thin sheets of paper. They are typically printed with three cards on a single sheet, but also come in other formats:
* One card per sheet
* Two cards per sheet
* Four cards per sheet
* Six cards per sheet
* Nine cards per sheet
Flimsies costs $1–$2 per sheet and a win on a flimsy on a "special" game usually pays quite a bit more than a win on a "regular" game.
They are also known as ''flimsy sheets'' or ''throwaways''.
