I'm looking for an affordable online printer for super thick business cards. The thicker the better. Anyone have any recommendations?

It's mostly a matter of paper stock and less a matter of printer. Talk your local guy and see what he has on the floor — it'll be way cheaper than bringing in custom. If you really mean business call your Sappi or Mohawk or any other paper company rep and have them send you some cover-stock samples.

I I hear someone ask for an online business card printer one more time I'm gonna go postal. Those "online" places are all crap. Go find a good printer in your town so you can attend the press check, or at least find someone who can send you press proofs.

Listen to gramme, FFS.
Every city has gotta have at least ONE decent printer who's just waiting to help print your project for a modest fee. With them in the same town as you, you can do such novel things as press check (see above), ask for advice or printed samples, go through their vast paper swatches, and even bring them in early on projects to push the boundaries somewhat and create better-designed pieces — maybe use a spot varnish or ink, emboss, etc, etc.

Thanks all. I'm currently looking at spectrographics.com here in Denver.

In addition, these online yahoos don't give you much, if any, options on paper. If you keep it in town, you can specify any paper your heart desires, including 220# double thick cotton letterpress paper, if you so choose.

Totally agreed. Most of those online gang-runners only supply 10 or 12pt 4/4. That's it.
Once you develop a relationship with a proper printer things can really start getting interesting. If they don't do it themselves, they'll be able to help you find a reputable letterpress or silkscreener that can really open up what you think of print.

print on the edges, then they would be 3.5" thick, but just a really small surface area

You know, I often write print specs for a piece before I design it, especially if it's client work because print specs always affect the way you design something (for print that is).
