This thread makes me feel great, thank you everyone. :D

That's the thing I'm happiest about. Every card is going to have my name on it on the back, and they have a link to my work on their website. So if anyone else likes my photos, they can easily contact me! Best part of the deal, imo. :P

Frankly, I think you made a good arrangement. You possibly could have gotten more for the photo, but you're getting a lot more in this arrangement than just the money.

Think of it this way -- you're selling to them and they are just starting out. Therefore, the distribution of the initial cards isn't that large and you still get to sell the image elsewhere. Not to mention that you get your name on the back of the cards AND IMO more importantly you are working with them from the start. Next time they need images, they'll come to you and you can re-negotiate -- maybe for rights managed or something.

Congrats!
