I needed cardstock but I didn't need 250 sheets of cardstock! This was my only option in white. Unfortunately almost $15 later I have enough to last a lifetime.
I guess I don't know the most common uses for cardstock but I wanted to use some for a small print project and the 250 ct pack was too much. I have about 210 sheets leftover. The price of the large pack was much better than the smaller packs of other professional or comparable paper. It did work great in my ink jet printer and cut well with a paper cutter.
