In Turbo Pascale 5.0, yes it was a perforated pages just inside the cover.  
In Turbo C++ 1.0 it was a loose card elsewhere in the package.
More specifically, the card itself is perforated you mail in one half, and the
other half is notched to fit onto a Rolodex.  Rather handy to have the 
phone numbers, serial number, disk id's etc on them.

My suggestion would be to contact Borland (phone numbers off of my card below),
explain what happened, and see what they say.  The set of disks should have
a serial number (most likely on Disk 1) that is unique (hopefully :-) to your
set.  Have that ready (or include it when you write).  I'm sure they have
this happen often and have certain procedures to handle it.
