I collect punched cards (you know, the cards they once used as an input
medium, as invented by Hollerith a century or so ago).  I have quite a
trading stock, and if you'd like to send me some cards with interesting
corporate or university logos or other printing on their faces, I'll
send different cards from my collection.

This is serious stuff, folks!  I have cards from Israel, Sweden, Australia,
Bell Labs, many US Universities, and a fair number of companies, and I'd
like to get my hands on more before they all get sent to landfills or
recycling centers.

Send any interesting (and preferably unpunched) cards you might have to

If you want cards in return, send an addressed envelope.  I pay return
postage.  Send at least 4 cards (that way, the load is stiffer and less
likely to be bent, folded or spindled by the post office).
