Default Credit card sized tube map...

Seeing as the back won't be readable through the wallet "window", I'd
suggest you try to advertising sponsorship. There's probably room for 3 or 4
companies to get their logos in there as "sponsors". You might even get them
to buy heaps from you and give them away.
