Where did you get your 18% grey card?

Doing a google search on 18% grey cards gives me a plethora of information on how to use one and why, but I haven't been so successful at finding a vendor for them.

Any hints?

Thanks.

Remember that your palm makes a pretty good reflective target, just open 1 stop from the results, because your palm is more reflective than 18% gray.

FWIW, I make my own reflective targets using PhotoShop and an 800 class Epson printer with ICC profiles and card stock to print on. I make several with multiple graduations or just 3 graduations, depending on my use. I then calibrate my system to provide "predictable results", which is really what you're after.

I've signed up for a Photog 101 course to re-introduce myself to darkroom processing - and for the shooting portion of the class a grey card was needed. My local shop had a package of 2 for $9. Ritz Camera sometimes sells them for $12.

Surprisingly, the meter on my old Minolta X-700 is disturbingly acurate, and has a very tight spot area - the card has been mostly redundant on my assignments so far.
