Diamond Dust punchboards - to punch or not to punch?

[Exhibitman]

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.

Right, Adam, we hear ya, but how thick do the punchboards have to be to hold a card, if the card is accordion-folded and then coiled?
About a sixteenth of an inch and change, no? Weren't the numbered slips you and Zan punched out of your boards coiled up
as well as first having been accordion-folded?

No, just accordion folded. I would guess that the card would be 2x the width of the paper coming out of the punchboard

Ah. We stand enlightened, then, and shall say no more on this. Probably.

There's no sign of secondary folding on these cards, just the horizontal rib looking folds from being accordion folded.
