Grey Cards

[dare2move]

was wondering if anyone know where i can get a grey card to buy over here? and whats the general price for them?

I wish I knew. Are you going to be using it for custom white-balance settings?

Why not use a white card instead. One can find that any where. Or make it themselves.
A white card is used to set the white balance while a grey card is used for metering purposes.
As long as your card is neutral it doesn't really make too much difference because the camera will meter for grey either way. If you take a picture of a grey wall and a white wall, both the pictures will look the same color.
