Well now, let's be fair. These are "Genuine Vintage IBM 5081" cards,
not your average vanilla-box stuff.
Actually, they might be worth that if the printing were, say,
language-specific, such as "IBM 1401/1410 Autocoder" or "Univac 1107
SLEUTH".
But then, they'd be auctioned of $1 each on eBay...

It's interesting to see people bid up an
item for far more than they could
purchase it outright, elsewhere. For instance, Ebay item #250354493695, a
new box of 2000 punch cards, type 5081. With 2 hours left, the bid is
already up to $76.00. These may be purchased from Cardamation for $36.00
I bet the bidder doesn't know that. If they win it, you might want to
email them. :)
