Quote:

After chewing the gum for about 40 years, a gum collector might find the gum wrapper useful in determining the original size, shape, flavor, and brand of the gum.

Then he could add a little of the correct color, and try to smooth it back out to its original shape.

Food for thought?




Hey Tav! Your analogy is actual a perfect comparison. Forty years after the fact, the wrappers might be used for your illustrated purpose! I wonder however.....what was the purpose of the wrapper when it was made 40 years ago? A very similar analogy to the Broadcast Sheets indeed.

Come to think of it....do you think that stamps in a Stamp Collection are being used for the purpose in which they were manufactured?
