How do I figure out the paper weight for business cards?

Question: I am trying to order the business cards online and realized that the paper weight is mentioned differently on different souces: lb, pt and #s.
This particular company is giving a choice of # 65, 80, 100, 110, 120 and #140. Which would be appropriate for a snazzy thick card?
Thanks a lot,

The higher the number the hardest the card will be. But it might be better to see for yourself, you could try to pose as a customer and go to a art material or print shop and ask to see some paper weight samples.
