Right, but how are you going to put it in your pocket without touching it with your hands?!
>You would nead to actually lick hundreds or thousands of such cards to ingest any meaningful amount of lead.
Lead poisoning is cumulative, so you want to avoid ingesting even very small amounts. I doubt that good data is available regarding the amount of lead that would be ingested in this scenario or its potential effects. Best to be cautious. Lead free solder is not expensive.
