Looking for card stock

I have been looking all over for card stock and I can't seem to find exactly what I need. I would like to find 8 1/2" x 11", 80 lb glossy to use for my greeting and note cards. I have been making them out of 110 lb white which gives the art a matte finish and may be a bit too heavy. They look okay, but I think the glossy would be much better and the 80 lb lighter to make it easier to fold. Does anyone know where I can get some? Thanks.

I was able to find some Monday online at a place called Paperworks. I ordered two different 80 lb glossy to see how they work. They are being delivered today, so I'll be able to get printing very soon. I was having trouble finding some A2 and A9 envelopes locally and they had those also. I didn't even think of Dick Blick, guess I should have. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. I think the glossy paper at $5.99 for 10 sheets is a bit too high for me. I'll wait on using glossy until I get a new printer which won't be for a good while. For now I'll use the 110 lb matte which only costs me about .07 a sheet and looks pretty good.
