A laser printer that works with card stock is not going to be cheap, the way laser printing works is not suitable for heavy paper. You should look for a direct feed inket printer instead, or better yet just go to kinkos or another professional printer, it will likely be cheaper unless you plan printing thousands upon thousands of them
I print about 100 cards at a time, so an ink jet is not a good option for me, due to wet ink, etc. I've been printing quality cards on a Dell 3130cn for 4 years and it has served me well, but it has given up the ghost. This is for church and I design and print the cards at home so that we can keep the cost down around 40 to 50 cents each (including card stock).

"Wet ink" hasn't been an excuse for over a decade now. "wet ink" means that you didn't use the proper paper profile. http://www.amazon.com/Epson-Expression-ET-2500-Wireless-Supertank/dp/B01122JHMG Is definitely recommended if long term price is an issue. Just use the right paper setting and you won't see issues.
If you must use laser, not many can handle paper above 50lb bond , but http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/color_imageclass_lbp7110cw#Specifications can do ~60 and the HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn is about the same. You won't find many that can do heavy papers, especially those with higher print speeds.
