Welcome to the site!
Problem with cardstock is the way they name it.
Cover that weighs 73.5lbs is Equal in weight to 110lb Index & 122.2lb Tag.
This is because of the sheet size they weigh to get the weight. Cover is a small sheet, but very thick (heavy). Tag is a bigger sheet than either Cover or Index.
Best way to determine weights? Look for GSM (Grams per Square Meter) or it could be shown as G/M2 (Grams/Meter Squared).
Not all paper companies show this on the packaging.
Because of this, decided to make some charts for my own reference. Check out my signature and click the links to see & download PDFs that try to explain this.
