A person by the ame of Thepiecesfit got his hands on one of Mr. X's NY Novelty Cards and wrote a review and posted some scans. The review is as follows:

"First of i would like to say it is a great novelty, bendability very close to a real one front rough finish, back middle strip rough... the only thing i would have to say is i had to shave it down a bit.. the corners werent rounded i used a credit card and 1000 grit sand paper came out a beaut...on the back the words not a gov doc in fine print...i have included front and back photos .... Cheers mr.x i would gladly do bus with you again..."

Also, Rabid_Wombat was able to review Mr. X's cali:
California:

"just recieved the cali from X and it is very good. the only prob is the info is a little inaccurate, i guess he must've confused my info with someone else's however i'm sure it'll still pass, i just need to put on some wieght :). definately recomend purchasing from him.

PHEONIX has been getting some rave reviews for his work also. Somebody by the name of Rabid_Wombat has recieved a North Carolina Novelty Card from him, and has great stuff to say about it:

North Carolina:

"i have just recieved the NC map and i must say it is nearly flawless. overall very well done. minor problems include, the state watermark should be a shade or 2 darker as it is barely visable in the novelty map, the holo on the real one is more of an orange color and the real holo is about a cm taller and wider overall. the word DRIVER LICENSE could be a little bolder. finally, when describing hair color, BRO is used instead of BRN for brown hair in NC.
the back of the licence is flawless and all the details above a so minor that only a bank or a business like that would ever catch it.
overall rating : 9.0 very good

on a side note, i think you have a better quality printer than my local's dmv.

:)"

Sorry, no scans available at this time.

Here is another review of Pheonix's Florida DL:

"Finally got your sample maps. The FL is the only one that I can compare right now as my friend with the NC is away for a couple weeks. I'm going to give the FL an HONEST review though. I have to say that the FL is not that accurate in my opinion. The quality is excellent, and the holograms are GREAT....but the fonts are off a lot. On the left side, the word "Florida" is very different font, as well as "The Sunshine State" at the top. The greens of the license seem to be a TINY bit too dark, but I have seen a few real FL maps that are darker than others, so this is passable. The left bar beside "The Sunshine State" should be overlapping the pic. The field names (i.e. b'date, sex, hgt, etc) also seem to be a slightly different font. The BIGGEST thing I can see wrong with your FL map, however, is the outline of the state at the bottom by the signature. This should have VERY TINY print "DL" inside of it, where yours is blurred. The back of the map is very nice though. If I'm not mistaken, your FL temp is just slightly modified from one that I've seen on the net. I have a much more accurate, though not perfect, FL map temp that I made from a real FL map about a year ago. I included the small print inside the state outline, as well as matched up the main fonts almost perfectly. The color might be a little off on it, as I had it perfected for printing on an HP printer back then. If you want to take a look at mine...maybe even give me some feedback on it?....just send me an e-mail. THIS OFFER STANDS FOR PHOENIX ONLY....PLEASE NO TEMP REQUESTS!! Sorry for all the things I think could be improved on your FL map, but you wanted an honest review. The holos are EXCELLENT though. :) I'll review the NC sometime in the next week or two, but it seems of MUCH higher quality and looks like you put a lot more work into it."
