I haven't bought checks since 2002, and I need more now. I write about four checks a year, so they last a looong time. Looking at my regular supplier, I see they have 226 different styles, plus I can add supply pictures of my own. Maybe they have some with cameras on them.

My checks come free with my checking account.

My bank account is set up for seniors and provides me with checks free. I have no minimum. I probably use 10-15 per year. A lot of payments are electronic.

When I opened my most recent bank acct. I got about 4 books of checks. I am still on the 1st one.
I only write one check a month. All of my other payments are done online.
The one payment I use a check to pay, could be done online. But it charges a fee, so it is cheaper for me to use a stamp and envelope and mail it.

As do mine.
Plain checks. I'm past "designer" checks.

One can also buy USPS stamps with your favorite image on them.
I don't do that either...

If not, take a photo with your cell phone of your favorite camera. My favorite is a Canon AE-1

Excuse my ignorance but what do you actually need cheques for? I am used to payments in Australia and cannot imagine when I would need a cheque.

Not all companies are set up to receive payments on-line.
Not all people like paying on-line.
Some are given as gifts.

At 4 checks a year why do you care what's on them?

That they do. Our checks for our camera club do have a camera logo on them.

The guy that cuts my grass leaves a stamped envelope on my door every month - I send him a check. I had a payment recently at a professional organization's website that offered electronic payment but nowhere was there anyplace to provide your account number. So I sent them a check, upon which I clearly put my account number.

I have checks from an account I no longer use.
