And why am I having such a hard time finding this information?
Everything lists all the portraits sized by dimensions, but apparently wallet photos are their own dimensions and no explication is necessary.
Does anyone know this?

I think they're 2x3 inches.

All the ones I have in my wallet measure either 2 1/8 x 3 1/8 or 2 1/4 x 3 1/4

About the size of a business card, isn't it? That's 2 x 3.5 inches.
Here we go--2.5x3.5.

2.5 x 3.5 accodring to Shutterfly.

This all the photos produced by professional studios that are in my wallet have been gypped They are probably including the white trim, which I don't, because I cut it off if they come in sheets.

2 by 3 is what we got when I was in school.

I have a photo album for wallet pictures that doesn't fit the ones sold at the local photo place where most of my friends get our senior pictures. So they don't fit in it.

I am using the 2.125" x 3.125" dimensions. Thank you. Y'all are so wonderful. I'm making an Important Numbers card for work, and it needs to be "wallet-sized."

Sorry Adam, I didn't realize that. I'm trying to think of a replacement word to use.
(Do Gypsies still exist? Is it an ethnic or a racial group? I thought it was just a vocation in history)

Yes, Gypsies still exist. Gypsy is an ethnic group. They are apparently descended from people from northern India and what is now Pakistan (according to linguistic experts.) Many are "acclimated" into the societies they live in, but in some places (especially Europe) there are still groups of migrant Gypsies. (In many countries, though, the population has never recovered from "extermination" carried out in Nazi concentration camps.)

An excellent book about Gypsies for anyone who's interested. My dad has a copy, it's really awesome.

My school photographers have two wallet sizes (and of course today is picture day so I no longer have access to actual dimensions). If memory serves, regular wallets ("trading wallets") are about 1.75x2.5 inches, and "jumbo wallets" are closer to business card size.

From the link:
quote:It’s often said that to gyp derives from gypsy, and it seems highly probable.
There's confusion on where the term "spic" comes from, too, but I wouldn't advocate using the slur.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
The big difference, of course, is that no one knows that gyp has anything to do with gypsies until someone says, "You shouldn't use that. It's a racial slur against gypsies." If no one is using it to disparage gypsies, then is it really a slur?
On a similar note, you shouldn't use the word dork. It's a slang term for the male organ.

It is??!!
That's a new one to me.
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
I found that one out when I called my at-the-time boyfriend a dork and he said "I really wish you'd quit refering to my penis."
Of course, no one uses it to mean that anymore, so I think it's safe to say that it doesn't mean that anymore.
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
But now its meaning is much closer to the Nerd/Geek/Dork thread's definition, so why insist on its etymology?
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
I'm not. I'm just saying that word origin is pretty much meaningless compared to actual contemporary usage.
