Try the Editorial Photographers group (EP). Their home page is > www.editorialphoto.com <
They are similar to the ASMP except they have an active email group where they discuss questions like yours. Join their discussion group and ask your pricing question.
Another option would be to go into a large card store and look at photo greeting cards. Write down the names of the photographers who got a credit line on the back of their photo cards, look them up on the internet and ask them your pricing question.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but every question about photography
can be answered by looking it up in some book. And there would be no need
for Internet mailing lists such as Photoforum. But I am hoping that there
may be a subscriber here who has actually sold some photos to greeting card
publishers and can provide me with some help. Or perhaps owns or has read
one of these books, and can help out.
thanks again,

All I want are some ballpark guidelines.

He wrote two, actually.
The information is in our archive, I believe.

I have been asked to provide a quote for a greeting card publisher who wishes purchase the rights to use some of my photos for greeting cards.
Any tips on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
