If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby you can get a 30 x 40 inch for the same price and if you use the 40% off coupon that is forever on their site it brings it down quite a bit. You can also get 40 x 60 inch (I think) for something like 16 bucks before the 40% discount. They usually have it in white or black.

Edit...I just realized the Elmer's stuff is 2 sheets for the price.
thats not bad but is there a difference between foamboard and foamcore?

I'm pretty sure it's the same. I think the only difference would be if it were acid-free matboard instead of foamboard.

I'm pretty sure 3/16" is thick enough to do what you want to do. 1/8" might be too thin for a good sandwich.
