Photo Quality Greeting Card Stock

[jondoh]

Hello. I make non-commercial greeting cards that I send to family members. I use 65 lb. card stock with a matte finish and my images are just too drab on that stock. I've found that I can't get that paper in a smooth, glossy finish and I've been told that the image would still be drab on a glossy card stock if it isn't real photo paper.

My searches turn up nothing but prescored, presized blank cards for $1.00 a pop.

Do any of you guys know of a few budget sites I could visit and possibly find 8-1/2x11 unscored 45 lb+ photo greeting card stock at a reasonable price? Thanks, Jon.
