Difference between a "Greeting Card" and a "Card"?

[Barbara]

I was about to design a greeting card when I discovered there are two, one of them called a greeting card and the other simply called a card. They're identical in every way except for a few cents difference in price. I landed on the (ungreeting card) via transferring a design, but if it's in the enormous list of card blanks, I sure can't find it, though it must be in there somewhere. What I'm wondering is if there's a difference in how Zazzle markets the two cards. Anyone have a clue?

(I wish they'd clean up and simplify all those blanks.)

@Barbara 
this might be what you’re looking for in blanks. Finding it was not easy, you are right about that.

The paper breakout. About 5 years ago Zazzle separated all of their paper cards into different "products" so a "card" is a different product from a "greeting card" or a "thank you card" or a "save the date card" or an "invitation" - yadda yadda yadda. 

Here's a list of all the card-like products (or at least most of them): Putting Your Designs on the Correct Paper Products – Zazzle Help Center

Yes, I remember when they did that, and I remember my jaw dropping at such zealous categorizing. LOL

@idraw  Yes, that's the one! "Card" must be for use when it isn't any sort of acceptable occasion. I've sent a few of those in my lifetime, finding them in a rack of... yes, a rack of greeting cards. I sent such a card to a young man years ago, and I suspect that card is why we've now been married for 46 years.

There are way too many cards, so when I wanted to find the right cards, to use for digital downloads, I finally just put "greeting" in the search on the choose a product page and all the "greeting cards" came up, instead of trying to hunt for them using the word "card."

I bookmarked this page for the "greeting cards" to use for digital downloads.
