My store is to sell sports cards. Shipping and handling costs are $1.10 handling fee (per order) plus exact or as near exact postage as possible. An individual card weighs 0.25 ounces. Calculated shipping does not appear to accept a decimal. Fixed price shipping appears to be built on handling fee per item. I have reviewed documentation and other posts without finding a successful solution. Thus, it appears I have reached an impasse. Am I correct?

All weights will have to be rounded to the ounce. In your example, you would have to use a minimum weight of 1 ounce for each card.
What is the weight of your envelope? Is it heavy board? Or, will it be a flimsy envelope, with some form of liner? The envelope weight will also need to be considered.
I checked your preferences and your shipping profile and I think I can see where your trying to get this to charge a certain way, however there is one issue with the setup.
Click to edit the shipping profile, then look for the 'combinable' box that you can check labeled "Can be combined with other items for shipping" and check this.
You already have your Order preferences setup to take $1.22 off of the shipping cost of the additional items, which should give you that 5 cents per additional card value that you were looking for with your shipping profile's current setup.
