I wanted to update this thread because it's one of those evergreens that gets dredged up from time to time.
While 18 percent gray cards are still invaluable if you know how to use them, for most people it's now a non-issue because in-camera meters are much smarter than they were in the 1960s.

For difficult lighting conditions, the best tool is still an incident meter, but a gray card works well too as long as you follow the directions which call for you to angle the card and use the exposure compensation recommendations that come with the Kodak-brand cards.
