Classic Charger Calendar for 2011

I'm gearing up to do another Charger calendar using photos of members' cars and I'm looking for some feedback. Last year I did it through Office Depot and it turned out pretty fair although the photo reproduction quality was a little lacking on their end. Granted, we are not professional photographers and that did play a part in the quality too but I might try going with a different company this time because I felt most of the trouble was on their end. So one thing I want to ask you guys is what are you willing to pay for a calendar? If I recall the calendars last year were around $15 plus shipping and that was about the least expensive rate I could find at a place which allowed me to maintain some measure of control over the process. I think that one day I was in the store for 2 1/2 hours trying to sort through everything and make sure the color corrections and sizing were good. I didn't mind that though because frankly, I find the idea of sending off 12-20 pictures with orders for 20 or so calendars a little scary if there's no personal quality control. Be that as it may, there are some higher quality businesses out there who will likely do a better job but for more money. Shutterfly is one that's been suggested to me and Zazzle is another. Costco also provides this service but I have not taken the time to look up the prices there. Zazzle charges $17.95 each with discounts for multiple orders and Shutterfly charges $19.99 but there's a potential for free shipping. I don't know yet if that means they would ship 20 calendars to 20 different locations but I doubt it.

Also, last time I only did second gen Chargers simply because that's what I wanted and I didn't expect so many people from the site to ask for their own calendars. That said. this year I will be creating an order deadline (TBD) so I don't have to order the calendars peacemeal after they've been created. That was a bit of a pain even though it worked out pretty well in the end. Anyway, back to the different generations. I will be seeking other years besides 68-70 (66-74 only) but the one thing I ask is that your photos be of the best quality possible. The better the input the better the final product. I'd like to get more wing cars especially and I'd like at least one 69 500.

So tell me, do you prefer $15 calendars plus shipping or is up to $20 plus shipping a doable cost?

Bull,

Shutterfly's cost for at least 25 calendar's is $12.96 apiece, including shipping. If you order 50 or more then the cost, including shipping, is $11.00. I've used them many times in the past and the quality is very good. You ship to each recipient from their website so you would need everyone's mailing info, and probably email address (Shutterfly may need it to complete their order and to add to their customer information base). For $12.96 I would get one :yesnod:  (but only if my car is included  :slap:).

Sure. If the pics are as good as the ones I got of your 68 it should work fine.

Sounds like a good deal. I'll check it out more carefully but it sounds like a good way to go.

I need some good third gen pics and I'd like a nice shot of a '66. I got a pic of a '67 that looks like it will work and of course I've already got two nice '69s and a nice one of a '68. The main thing here is that the lighting be as good as possible and the background is important too. Don't shoot a pic of you car with your wife's Ford minvan in the background or your kid's tricycle or the garden hose, etc. Shots of cars with a nice backdrop are the only ones that will be considered.

dang...I saw the title and got all excited thinking it was a calendar of 2011 Chargers.

So bull...can I submit a pic of my LX Charger?
