The closure on the back is actually velcro, looks nice and works well.  I ordered the khaki one.  The shirts are great, but I ordered them a bit too large I think.  I ordered all XL, and they are already preshrunk, so, at 5'6" and 165lbs I'm stuck with some baggy stuff, but the quality seems pretty good to me.  I must say, overall I'm very pleased with the products I ordered. :)

Well, I just spent $42 at Cafepress on Opshots stuff.  I got two rectangular stickers, one mousepad (badly needed) and a Basebeall shirt in blue (L).  Came to a total of $47, and I used coupon "SRV159G" to get $5 off.

Note to all, Cafepress always has at least a $5 off coupon available, you just have to find it...

Other comments. 

1)  I think it would be nice if there was a black mousepad with the opshots logo since the white one will probably get dirty pretty quick.

2)  I'm really a Polo shirt guy, but the Polo shirt doesn't have the "standard" logo, so I didn't get it.  If there was one, I'd be the first customer.

Thanks for all the effort, Mark (and Chuck)!

The more money we make the better the chance of getting a premium store...where we can have multiple logos. And get black mousepads and other logos on more shirts.

I see.......obviously I don't know what Cafepress is all about.  There's a limit to choices, and once you make enough money you get more choices kind of thing?

I did read one thing, the coupon is a hit on Cafepress, not Opshots, so we can use the coupon, save money, and Opshots still gets credited the full amount.

How much money have we made so far and how much do we need to get more choices?  In that case, I also recommend advertising the store a bit more, as in putting "STORE" up in the main menu where is says HOME - HELP - SEARCH - etc...

I have put some pics on the front page...and as well in the gallery and here too....you can open a premium store anytime you want. The prices are:

    *  $6.95 per month
    * $18.45 for 3 months
    * $34.95 for 6 months
    * $59.95 for 1 year (only $5 per month!)

You get:

# Customize your shop or choose from our pre-made shop designs for a fresh new look and feel
# Increase the product choices available to your customers by offering unlimited designs and products
# Organize your designs and products into categoriessubcategories
# Create custom layouts to showcase your newest design, or most popular items

We got a ways to go...and the bad thing is once you make a shop premium there is no turning back, if you close it you lose all designs. It does no default back to just one design. But if it comes to that you just start over with one design.

Here is the link to the coupons:

In that case I say we should keep it at what we have for now.  My guess is that you will see a spike of orders now, but then it will severly slow down once we all have our stuff.

Well, I got my stuff.  I like the mousepad, it's very nice.  Again, I'm just a little worried that a white mousepad will get dirty very quickly.  The baseball shirt is nice too.  I got a large, and it's fits great, maybe a tiny tad on the small side.  It says "pre-shrunk" so I hope it really doesn't shrink.  It's made by "Anvil" in Honduras.  Quality looks decent. 
The stickers on the other hand, I'm really disappointed with.  They are made of the same stuff one would use for printing stickers with a home kit, except maybe they didn't use normal printer ink.  Both mine have some ink marks on top that I will have to crop myself.  Oh well, just $3, no big deal.  Not sure if they would survive on a bumper or window of a car...

Just trying to be detailed so you guys know what you will get.  I'm happy with the stuff either way, and you will certainly see me out there with my shirt on!

EDIT:  The mouse on the pictures is a laptop mouse, so it's smaller than your average mouse!
