Also on eBay for under $1.00 each with free shipping if you buy in quantity (but who the heck needs 50 thumb picks)? Copy and paste this in the eBay Search field:

herco +("flex 52",blue) +(thumbpicks,"thumb picks")

Bob has my order for the picks and strings. I agree with support the forum.
Any of us older pickers remember when there was very little info and help available with questions about our instruments.
Most high profile pickers didn't want to share their setups to anyone.
Thankfully that isn't the case now.

No disrespect to bOb or the forum intended. Just sharing information for anyone who might want to make a bulk purchase.

A person needs to be careful shopping ebay or Amazon... unless it is a reputable seller! ... let me explain.

I bought a handful of Herco blue 52's from my local store/supplier. Loved em...

Went online a year later and bought a bag of them as you are describing. What I got were picks that "looked like" Herco Blues, but were nothing but sharp edged pieces of crap, clearly cheap knock offs! Every one of them hit the garbage, lesson learned!

It doesn't matter what something costs, if they are popular, someone will counterfeit them :)
