Getting a BART clipper card
I'll be visiting San Francisco for a week and want a Clipper card as a souvenir. It looks like I can order one online and have it shipped to me:

My question is... is that the only way to get them? Can I just buy one there, in-person? In London you can get the Oyster cards at pretty much any tube station. The RFID transit card they use in LA can be gotten on buses and in the DC transit you can buy from kiosks at metro stations where cars can park.
The following URL talks about how to buy tickets:

But I don't want a paper ticket lol - I want a clipper card!
Any ideas?
