Tom,
Guild for the Blind in chicago sells individual sheets - I've 
forgotten how much per sheet but it is better than a huge supply that 
you will never use up!!
guildfortheblind.org is their e-mail address and their phone is 312 
236-8569.  American Thermoform will sell you a huge packagge but 
probably more than you are interested in.
Hope this helps.
