They are thicker and don't keep their place as well. The punch card "bites"
and won't move around when you close the book.

 

I know, I'm being silly - but I like 'em. J

So why not just use index cards?

Right. I'm not sure that I'm willing to spend that for scratch paper. J

There are others that sell in lots that work out to 19-20 cents/card. That's
still pretty expensive, though.

Yes, but not for $1.74 per card!

Hi all.

 

Would anyone happen to have any old, unpunched IBM punch cards that they would
like to get rid of? I like to use them as bookmarks that I can write on. But
I finally used up my supply so I'm looking for some.

 

Thanks!
