I assume the fate deck will be "standard" playing card size, but what about the stat cards? I assumed the previews were two card per model at "standard" size but after reading the "postcard" comment on twitter I'm thinking they might be single cards but huge! I only ask because I like to keep my cards in folders and am now thinking the one I got for Malifaux (yes, I'm well prepared) might be too wee.

All the cards (from last I heard) are the standard size that you're used to from miniatures games likes Warmachine, Hell Dorado, and even Pulp City, except they are "Double Wide." They are scored down the middle so that they will fold into the familiar size and fit into your card sleeves and binders. You should only have to take them out if you need the expanded ability, trigger, or spell descriptions which are printed on the inside of the folded cards.

Or you could cut them in half.

As far as the stat cards go, Upper Deck makes a binder sheet that holds four 3.5 x 5 cards (stock #204D I believe), and makes hard case card sleeves for that size as well.
Likewise, C-line makes a 4-up binder sheet.
I did some digging around online, check out photo supply shops and scrapbooking shops. the 3.5 X 5 size wasn't as hard to find products for once I started looking.

As Kel mentions, they're just a touch smaller than 3.5x5 when unfolded. However, they will come folded so that they will fit into our blister packaging and such. When folded, they will also fit into any normal card holder or sleeve, as they're just a touch smaller than 2.5x3.5, which is standard playing card size.
Now our fate decks are exactly 2.5x3.5, so they'll fit into any and all card sleeves or card holders no problem.
As Nathan mentioned, we also have postcards which are larger and covered in artwork for you all to enjoy, and will be available starting at Gencon. :)

hmmmm are those postcards going to be available just from the shop, or are they a limited release or even only at Gencon. I'd like to get my hands on some, but a tad too expensive to go to Gencon I'm afraid.

They will be available at Gencon, and then I believe you will see them in our shop either starting the same day as Gencon, or shortly after. We'll make sure if you want them, there will be a way!
Besides, nothing like getting a little McMourning in the mail...eh?

Personally, I'd rather wake up to Lady J.

Personally, I'll take one of his naughty nurses instead of the good doctor himself.
