and they have spaces in between
Please post your sample data with the code tags to preserve indentation. This makes it much easier to read.

And here is the output using your example:
Code:
$ ls
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227203.csv       30222_Deal Ticket_20071227205.csv
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227204.csv       NewFolder
$ ls NewFolder/
$ for i in *20071227*;do cp "$i" ./NewFolder;done
$ ls
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227203.csv       30222_Deal Ticket_20071227205.csv
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227204.csv       NewFolder
$ ls NewFolder/
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227203.csv       30222_Deal Ticket_20071227205.csv
30222_Deal Ticket_20071227204.csv
