I've found that guitar picks and baby socks are the two things that are all but guaranteed to get sucked into the ether.

I am learning but have really only finger picked up to this point. Is the 0.88mm a good thickness/stiffness?

Thick enough to be sturdy but still pliable without feeling "thick". At 1mm picks start to feel beefy and don't bend at all.

Good deal for 24. Bought the 12-pack at this price last year. These are sturdy and will probably last a lifetime if I don't misplace them all first.

It's a personal preference, but this is a good starting point.

This is obviously a cheaper than what I'm about to suggest:

Just as an alternative, if you want some great custom picks, check out InTune guitar picks, also known as InTuneGP. Tons of bands use them. They make custom picks, and I want to say it's $40 or $45 for 100 picks with a one-sided picture (I forget how much for 2 sides). Used to be $35, but even $45 is a good price for that many. I use their Jazz III Mini picks. I have some $50 picks that I use for my own playing at home, that are my favorite, but since I'm terrified of ever losing one at a gig, I use InTune for live stuff. Plus it's nice to be able to hand one out every now and then.

What the heck do you need baby socks for?

I find it very interesting that many guitar picks are made in USA.

I'm a big fan of the Tortex .73s, that's the sweet spot for not being flimsy vs. playing with a coin

It's a good middle ground. That said, if you're looking to work on your strumming on acoustic you might want to grab some celluloid picks. They sound smoother and don't emphasize less than perfect strumming technique like a Tortex will. D'addario Celluloid or Fender 351 Celluloid are good options. Alternatively a thinner nylon pick like a Dunlop Max-grip or D'Addario Nylflex. Ernie Ball makes some very cheap nylon picks too

Most actually. We have pretty advanced plastic manufacturing in this country and you wouldn't really save much money moving overseas. Plus, the companies don't really want to compete with knockoff which world be inevitable if manufacturing moved. Even around the world most picks come from the US

Yes. In my experience, most players use green (0.88mm) or yellow (0.73mm). Any lighter is too bendy for most, and any heavier is basically rigid.

If you feel like you can't pinch the pick tightly enough to have control over it, go lighter. If you feel like you can't play hard enough because the pick is collapsing, go heavier.

There is a whole world of pick shapes. You can get Dunlop Tortex picks in standard, sharp (very sharp point), Flow (more triangular), triangle, jazz (smaller), T3 (not quite as sharp as 'sharp' but sharper than standard), fin, teardrop, wedge, and flex. It's easy to file picks into slightly different shapes if you want to experiment.

Enjoy!

Back in 2020 I grabbed the 72-pack on Amazon for $12.74. This deal is really close to that one for the 25 pack, just a couple pennies more per pick. So think it's a great deal!
