there was a place in St. Louis where a friend of mine worked, which has
the card stock, and the dies to make all the cards you wish. He uses a
large run he had made for making up ticket sets for another hobby he has.
the card stock he used is similar to the fixed part of an old style
credit card form, which you may recall is about the size and shape of a
Hollerith card, including the little part clipped on one corner.
He no longer works there, but the capability still exists. Note that
the input stock is a 12 to 24" wide roll about 8' in diameter, don't
recall how many thousand feet long. He was able to get a short run from
a scrap roll to make his cards, but most people would need to order a
lot of cards. Think maybe 3 or 4 full freight skids, maybe 40" x 40" x
40" or so by the time the whole roll is exhausted.

Pretty neat stuff, but an almost dead industry in the US. So
