Punchboards - Anybody know anything about these?
 

I just won these 3 punch boards at a recent auction. I don't know anything about them. There has been talk that there is a possibility that there are rolled up baseball cards within the punch holes. I personally doubt it since the thickness of 2 of the boards I own are only 5/8 inches while the third board is only about 1/8 inch thick.

I would just like to hear what board members have to say about these boards.

I've been chasing the unicorn of the punch board with the cards in it for a long time. The ones that are under an inch thick do NOT have cards in them. They have little slips of paper.

I wonder if there is a checklist of known cards. Do they have any value?

I just like the Diamond Dust cards:

Me too.

I have a couple of those punch boards, but mine are just too small for the cards to be in there.
I did see a partial one once that had some paper removed, and they were just numbers that corresponded to the players on the front. No pictures or anything.
I have never actually seen anyone come up with the board that has the little players. But I would love to find one, and get like a Babe Ruth or something.

There's a previous thread about punchboards and punchboard "cards" and tickets, here:

-- inconclusive, but informative.
We still think the accordion-folded cards could maybe, conceivably, possibly, perhaps,
if rolled / coiled as we earlier conjectured, have been featured in boards much less than
a full inch thick, but that's just a guess. More examples and more research required...

Personally I think the boards are really cool collectibles. And I also love the Diamond Dust cards. I've never seen one with the player cards in them. Nice lot of three boards by the way.

I guess the only way to find out what is actually in this punch board will be to actually punch out every hole.
I think I'll leave that to whoever wins these boards when I list them.

Me too. Very HTF; I don't recall seeing the Foxx before but the image is familiar:

Punch boards make nice display items for cabinets in offices...
