Card (material)
This article starts by saying "A greeting card is an illustrated piece of card". However, what is a "piece of card"? Is "card" a material??? There is no explanation as to what this mysterious term "card" means, and no link to any relevant article. I searched "card" on Wikipedia, and I was taken to a disambiguation page which included the following articles: ATM card, Business card, Calling card, Charge card, Cigarette card, Credit card, Debit card, and many others. However, none of these described an artefact consistent with the usage of "card" at the beginning of this article.

Okay, I know what "card" is, I'm just puzzled as to why there is no relevant Wikipedia article, or at least a link to one on the disambiguation page.

I clarified the vague "card" to "card stock" and included link to same, where there's an illustration of a card-making device. This article has other issues as well (lack of frequent in-line citations, a mostly Western world-view of cards today, despite mention of Chinese and Egyptian origin of greeting cards, to name just two issues).
