Diamond Dust punchboards - to punch or not to punch?

[Butch7999]

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.

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.
