I have been looking for these for a little while and I haven't found them. The art section seems like the best place to ask.
I am looking to purchase blank cards in the size, shape, and thickness of Magic cards in order to produce custom tokens. Does anyone have a source for these?
The easy way...you could buy a can of a certain kind of paint thinner (i forget the name)...im not sure what kind i have I some lying around my house but i cant find it right now... you basically wipe the card with the thinner and the ink comes right off.
Make use of those crap commons.
I bought mine at Walmart for less than 10 bucks. Its a rectangular tin can thats blue and yellow.
OR
you could do it the hard way and erase the ink away, but that leaves you with a sore wrist.
Acetone I believe is what you are thinking of. Thats a long and annoying way of blanking a card. If I want a completely blank card without too much effort, you can take a bad foil and peel the foil layer off. It comes off pretty easily with a razor and comes completely clean.

I have used acetone to blank cards before but I am trying to avoid that as I want to make custom tokens from scratch. I don't want to be blanking hundreds of cards on both sides which is what I am looking at. It is possible blanks just don't exist.
I have found blank playing cards but I was hoping to have them be magic card sized and with rounded corners.
Now that I think about, there has been 'blanks' accidentally released in some product. It was a filler card of the sheet, problem being they are worth about 5 dollars, which isn't to great for a token.

Thanks for the Sig! SpiderBoy4 at [High~Light Studios]
Well, tokens really shouldn't have the normal MtG card back so that they are not accidentally shuffled into a deck. I would just use white card stock, which should be available at most office supply stores. One sheet of letter size card stock could fit nine card size tokens, and they could even be two sided to accommodate different types of tokens.
One other good way to get cards is to ask local tournament organizers for the blank white card that comes packed with all the FNM foils, gateway cards, and other promos. They're pretty much the same qualities as a Magic card (save the back), but they do work well for tokens. I've made some for myself and they fit in sleeves excellently.

Are you looking for Sketch cards? If so they fit your requirements. You can purchase a pack of 20 at any art store or look them up online "sketch Cards" They are exactly the same size, thickness, and shape as a magic card. I have my own personal sketch cards that I go to cons with to get artists to draw zombie tokens with. They are perfect for the job.
