I could see this working for a graphics designer or artist of some sort, since they could whip it out, and maybe sketch something quick, so it's like a tiny piece of their work, made just for the prospective client. That'd make a serious impression. However, if I whipped out a blank card, and searched for a pen, if the prospective client was even still there, he or she would then have to stand awkwardly as I write down my contact info, and attempt to decipher my chicken scratch later on.

I've been using clear blue plastic business cards for a long time, and I highly recommend that route if you're not an artist. It's not paper and it's not white, so it immediately draws attention. Since it's translucent and blue, with shiny silver text, it always stands out in a pile of cards. I get compliments on them almost every time.
