Go Lions! Order Penn State Personal Bank Checks

September 19th, 2009

Are you a fan of the Nittany Lions and Penn State? If so, then any devoted fans should think about purchasing Penn State personal bank checks to show everyone their loyalty and dedication to their favorite team and school.

Pennsylvania State University, or Penn State, is a state university in Pennsylvania. Within the U.S., it is ranked in the national top 15 for public universities and is a Public Ivy school. In addition, it is one of the 10 largest universities in the country. Originally founded as a degree-granting institution on February 22, 1855, it was 1953 before it received its current name.

The Nittany Lion, a mountain lion that once roamed University Park, is the school’s mascot. For most sports, Penn State participates in the NCAA Division I-A and in the Big Ten Conference. The school has one of the best athletic programs in the United States. Sporting News named Penn State as the country’s best overall athletic program in 1999. The university also placed 6th in Sports Illustrated’s top 25 rankings in athletic success for the 2007-08 academic year.

However, Penn State is most notable for its football team. The team’s home stadium, Beaver Stadium can seat over 107,282, making it have the largest seating capacity of any stadium in the country. State College becomes the third most populated city in Pennsylvania, after Pittsburgh and Philadelphia during home games. Coach Joe Paterno, who has coached the team for 44 years, has had 383 wins and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007.

Although Penn State’s football is large, it’s not the only athletic sport getting notoriety. In general, athletic teams have won 36 NCAA championships, 2 consensus Division I football titles, 4 national boxing titles, and 53 national collegiate championships by either individuals or clubs.

When it comes to your Penn State checks, there are two different designs to pick from. The Penn State Logo check series contains four rotating designs that show popular points on the university’s campus. You can also get a matching checkbook covers, stickers, and address labels coordinate with your checks.

The Number One Fan series are a little more humorous. These are for the true sports fans, the ones who cheer for their team, disagree with the rulings, and don’t mind giving interviews to tell the world their true feelings about the outcome of the game. You can also get matching accessories with these Penn State checks as well.

If you have shied away from ordering checks that weren’t plain and boring in the past due to price and the hassle of going to the bank to place your order, consider purchasing your checks online instead of at your bank. By doing so, you can save as much as 50% off the cost of what you might have paid at your local bank branch. If you order from a safe site, your Penn State personal checks should arrive to you in about 5 days. Not only that, but you will have a larger variety of check images to choose from than you ordinarily would have at your local bank.

Beautify Your Checks with Butterflies

August 3rd, 2009

All butterflies are loved, from swallowtails to monarchs. Very few things in nature can match the beauty of a butterfly. They characterize splendor and grace. If you love butterflies and their elegant character and want a way to make your personal bank checks exceptional and attractive, then you should absolutely consider allowing the winged ones to adorn your checks.

With striking butterfly designs on your checks, your finances will never be tedious again. You won’t be able to stop a smile from appearing every time you take a look at your checkbook.

There is an assortment of butterfly checks available to buy. A popular series called “Butterfly Kisses” is offered by Bradford Exchange Checks. These checks showcase four varying butterfly designs, each one with striking colors and artistic images. The colors are vivacious and suggestive of a field of flowers or a rainbow.

Another popular check series is called “Lena Liu’s Enchanted Wings.” These feature butterfly paintings by world renowned artist Lena Liu. These striking capricious images contain subdued colors and fine details. There is so much detail in one butterfly that you feel as though it is imply going to fly off the check and into the air. Every time you look at these checks you will feel that spring has arrived, no matter what the season is.

If you love babies and butterflies, you can combine both with the Anne Geddes “Butterfly Babies” checks. These checks also come in four rotating designs, each one with an endearing photograph of a baby costumed as a butterfly. Corresponding address labels, contact cards, and checkbook cover are all available to purchase with this series, too.

If you want to guard your new butterfly checks, you can also buy a matching leather checkbook cover for some of the check series. The checkbook cover designs vary by the company that you order from, but a fashionable one contains two exquisite orange butterflies resting on a bouquet of yellow flowers.

Duplicate and side-tear checks are also available with butterfly designs. Duplicate checks can be good because they leave behind a carbon copy of each check that you write. Side-tear checks are great because they rip out from the side rather than from the top and therefore decrease the odds of tearing the check.

It could be costly to buy personal checks in the past. This is no longer true anymore, mostly with thanks to the internet. Now, if you buy your butterfly checks online at a trusted website, you can save as much as 50% off of the cost that you would have paid at your local bank branch.

When buying your butterfly checks online, you must know your checking account number and routing number. This is imperative, as the numbers will need to be printed right onto the checks themselves.

You can generally expect to see your checks in about 5 days. That’s about the same amount of time that it would have taken you to get them in the past, except now you don’t even have to leave your house to order them.

Hit a Home Run with Baseball Checks

August 2nd, 2009
by Alan Plastin

In the summertime, there is nothing quite like heading to the local ball park with your trusty glove and bat, or sharing a Major League Baseball game with a group of friends. Baseball is an American institution and probably the country’s most favored pastime. If you’re a fan of baseball and are tired of bland, boring bank checks then you might want to try using the sport itself as a way to spice up your finances.

Since the nineteenth century, baseball has been considered as American’s national sport. The first official game was played on June 19, 1846 in Hoboken, New Jersey and even though today it is played everywhere from Cuba to Japan, it is still American at heart.

One of the reasons that baseball became so popular in the United States was the fact that it was accessible to everyone. Class, race, and geography didn’t matter in this sport. As a matter of fact, most baseball diamonds were located in rural areas, giving people outside of the city limits a chance to play. Tickets were priced low enough so that most people could afford to go to a game and get quality entertainment. As a result, it became a sport that everyone could enjoy.

If you’re a fan of Major League Baseball and support a certain team, then you might be interested to know that there are checks available with your favorite team’s image. Teams like the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, and Philadelphia Phillies, as well as the other major teams, can all be found as images on bank checks. You can’t showcase your support of a team much better than that.

If you’re not into one team in particular and just love playing a good game of baseball, then you can also find checks that contain images of the game itself. One check series contains 4 rotating scenes of the sport, each one a photograph of the game being played. One image is of an umpire calling “safe”, another of a player sliding into home, a third of a ball flying through the air, and the last image simply shows a worn glove.

A further popular series of checks merely has close-up images of balls, bats, gloves, and the baseball diamond itself-the fundamentals required to playing the game.

Coordinating baseball accessories can also be purchased along with your checks. To keep your new checks protected, you might be interested in a checkbook cover. While designs vary, a popular neutral checkbook cover is black leather with an embroidered image of a baseball, two bats, and a diamond in the lower right hand corner.

It could be expensive in the past to order personal checks, but now if you order them online you can save money. Purchasing checks from reputable websites can save you as much as 50% off of what you might pay at your local bank.

You’ll just need your checking account number and routing number when ordering your baseball checks online. You can figure on your checks arriving in the mail to you in about 5 days.

Elvis Lives On, Even In Your Checkbook

June 6th, 2009
by Alan Plastin

If you find yourself writing a lot of personal checks with plain check designs, and you’re a fan of Elvis, then Elvis personal checks might be the thing for you. Now, you can take the King with you wherever you go.

The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley, is still loved the world over. Worldwide, his record sales have reached over 1 billion even though he never toured outside of his home country in the USA. He achieved gold, platinum and multi platinum awards for over 100 different albums within the United States.

The King is one of the most recognizable music figures in history and certainly the most recognized name in the industry. Even today the Elvis line of memorabilia and CDs is popular worldwide.

Even today, thirty years after his death, Elvis is still a worldwide phenomenon. Some of his most devoted fans were not even born during his lifetime. Today, Graceland, his home, is the second most visited house in the United States. The White House is the first.

A shinning example of the resilience of the ‘American Dream,’ Elvis continues to inspire young and old hopefuls who are all looking for their fantasy to come true. The King was born and raised in a low class home and grew up in a very underprivileged family. But even as he became one of the biggest musical stars in history he never seemed to forget his roots and is well known to have been a charitable and magnanimous figure for anyone in financial difficulty whether he knew them or not.

Although Elvis is known for his charisma and striking good looks, he was also responsible for influencing many different types of music. Elvis incorporated gospel, rockabilly, blues, and country music into his music. This helped to create and have some bearing on modern day rock, country, R & B, and even rap.

Since Elvis is known virtually worldwide, he is also a common icon that unites many diverse countries and cultures. Items that bear his image are easily identifiable. You can go all over the world and begin humming “Heartbreak Hotel” or “Suspicious Minds” and most people will recognize the tune.

Any true Elvis fan should definitely consider buying Elvis personal checks. His image provides a class and style all of its own, but they can do more than that.

There are a lot of different kinds of Elvis Presley checks offered for purchase. No matter what kind of fan you are, there is probably something for you. The following themes were found on the Internet after a quick search: Hawaiian Elvis, GI Elvis, and ‘68 Comeback Special Elvis.

Sometimes, ordering personalized checks from your bank has been expensive in the past. It doesn’t have to be so anymore. There are many websites available for purchasing checks. By shopping around, you can generally save about 50% than if you bought the checks from your bank.

By ordering checks online the customer can also order duplicate checks that have a carbon copy slip for your own records when you write one. They also come with checkbook covers. With a 2 to 3 day wait for delivery you get them as quick or quicker than you would from your bank.
