I saw a guy post online last week that he used punch cards on mainframe in 1990. I assumed it was a typo on the year.

What befuddles me (among a long list if things) is .. where did these guys see punch cards? I am 79 years old and punch cards were in my rear view mirror. I x-punched cards in the military but that was pretty much it. My first computer was in 1971 and had no punch cards, although a reader was available.
1971 was 46 years ago. If someone working today used punch cards it has to have been for a very few years and very early in their career. Those were the days of telex, telegrams, air mail, and carbon paper.
