The output may be something about the format of the vcf files. The
one I tested came out like this (anonymized as it was a real person
who probably doesn't want their info all over the internet :-), free
of all that garbage:

I wrote up this little script that uses it to read a bunch at once
using the same method:
https://gist.github.com/1396819
Download it and make it executable:
curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1396819/7060cb6f054dbc65104ed2f96ec90fe4967d84ed/readvcf.py
> readvcf
chmod +x readvcf
Then point it any number of vcards:
./readvcf /path/to/cards/*.vcf
Or spit the output into a file:
./readvcf /path/to/cards/*.vcf > cards.txt
-T.C.
