Another option, if you have the ability to print on your own inkjet is Red River Paper; they have an excellent selection of scored cards with different finishes, envelopes, etc. Depending on how many cards you're anticipating selling, printing your own can save you a lot versus having prints made and then mounting into cards.

Good luck!

I'll second Rick's suggestion of the pre-scored greeting card paper from Red River. I've been using those for a few years now, and they work great. Even with my slightly older Epson 1280 printer, the cards come out looking like they were commercially printed. Plus, doing it that way allows you to get as creative as you like with them (borders, text, etc, via Photoshop) compared to being limited to certain "attach the prints yourself" kind of cards.

Worth a look anyway. Good luck!

I like the Photographer's Edge cards. They look nice, and have a more hand-made, craft-type look than printed cards. They've been good sellers for me.

Crane has a nice selection of their fine art papers set up for printing cards. And I think Moab Paper does too.
