I'd have to admit that the Studebaker/Packard IBM part number ticket is probably rare

Hey, my wife worked as a IBM key punch machine operator when we were dating, just like the card on the ebay listing.

Key punch operator is a career that came and went during my career as a school counselor. Our local Community College had a thriving program at one time, attracted kids who wnated a sure fire job program.

When I worked as an engineer at IBM in the '60s, our department had a big mechanical calculator on a stand that could be rolled around to the engineer that needed it. For sorting of experiment results, etc., we would have the information punched on cards, or do it ourselves, and then run the cards through a card sorter for results. We even had a Chinaman in our department that used an abacus in his lap and was faster than the mechanical calculator for most things. By the end of the '60s, electronics had taken over and things were much more "modern."

Ah, now we are getting back to my days in school when we used a slide rule in Chemistry and Physics. I remember when I "upgraded" from the long "rule" type to a round one complete with a pocket protector case. [:0] That all changed in the mid '70's when the handheld calculators became available.
