That is certainly a suboptimal shopping experience. One page with variants wouldn't seem to work very well for this either, with nearly 10,000 variations.

Interestingly, they are all sold by amazon directly and are printed on demand so it doesn't seem to be a case of a 3rd party trying to game the site.

Eek. I didn't even notice.

That makes it even worse.
