Holes punched in "T" cards
Hello ... I thought I read about this in another thread but I can't find it. I was wondering what accounts for the many "T" cards that have one or more hole punches. Specifically ... hole punches that are either diamond shaped or figure 8 shaped (sort of). I seem to remember it had to do with train conductor punches or something? But I could be way off on that. Hole punching may apply to other vintage cards other than "T" certainly. And of course to collectors who at one time punched their cards to try and prevent them from walking off to another collection :-) But examples of those that I've seen I think were often punched with a circular hole punch. Not the diamond or figure eight type holes I'm asking about here ... that I see on quite a few T205's/T206's. Anyway ... just curious. Thanks! Jerry.
