I herewith award @Katti "Resercher Extraordinaire" award for this find: 4.5 kgs of punch cards!)

They're not _quite_ what I want them to look like, but close, but the punching might be an issue..)

@armando I beat you to it, but thank you for the idea.

Indeed we will be meeting up there on the day.

(If you've not been to HNF, it's really worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.)

@nmeth via @Katti 's link I see these. €2.50 per card maybe a bit exaggerated for my use case ... (but the cards are exactly the way I'd want them to look)

Wonder what the punch will cost ... ;-)

@Katti good find!!

Indeed, the first are too specific, but the green ones would be an option ...

Thank you for your trouble!

@ralight I'd prefer genuine, but anything which looks and feels (paper thickness / stiffness) like a punch card would do the trick

Long shot: do I know anybody in Europe who can provide two dozen 12 row, 80 column punch cards, preferably punched with a specific text? (no advertising)

Background: August of this year marks 45th anniversary of a Nixdorf Computer apprenticeship, and we're meeting. I thought it would be cute to present colleagues with a punch card (which is what we first programmed on) as a souvenir.

Obviously I'd be very willing to pay for the service!

Boosts appreciated.
