Diamond Dust punchboards - to punch or not to punch?

BTW, I feel like we shouldn't even be discussing cards in a thread on this board.

I see what you did there

[Zan]

Punched 5 lines of holes. Just as you said, accordion-style paper with numbers.

Back to the drawing board.

Sorry. I had hopes when I went through mine too.

Everything just seemed to fall into place. I'll continue to keep my eye out for them. The answer is there somewhere

Maybe we're not understanding Brian / Zan's results correctly, but given that he did get accordion-folded slips of paper
(presumably coiled up to fit in the holes -- post #23), and given that the "cards" are also numbered (posts 14 and 24),
is it possible, just possible, that Zan's Diamond Dust board does have cards somewhere within it?
Maybe only one or two or, say, no more than a dozen holes contained cards... if all 624 holes of these popular boards
contained cards, we'd think more of the cards would have survived... please excuse us if that's an idiotic thought...

Butch, they aren't in there. They can't be in there because they don't fit.

If it does not fit you must quit.

My guess is that the cards were in a very few thicker punchboards and were a short-lived effort to avoid the illegality of the name itself by claiming that every chance gets a prize so it isn't really gambling.
