I once saw a IBM punch card that was small as a playing card, had three rows of 
8? Punches, and held more than 80 characters. The operators actually used them 
as playing cards.

  And UNIVAC had a 90 column card for a long time.  It looked something like a 
traditional Hollerith card but had round punches and two rows of six bit 
characters.
