I'm looking for a paper to make what are basically trading cards on. They are cards used in a game to represent units and for actions during the game, and will be used a fair amount. I'd like the paper to be at least 100 lb. I would also like it to have a semi-gloss finish on both sides for double sided printing. I will be printing this on an HP Photosmart 7510, so it has to be inkjet friendly. I've heard the Red River sampler may be a good place to start. For the price, it would be OK to check out, but I was wondering if there are any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

I'd be a bit worried if dye ink will stand up to "a fair amount of usage". I don't have any experience with pigment colors (other than pigment black for b/w text), but I'd be concerned about smearing, especially if the cards get damp.
