Don't Be Deceived By This Odd Item

Go figure.

Guess I should start selling used Post-It notes on ebay now.

Now, now Jim. It's hardly the same. Regardless of whether it was cut from a document or not, it's still an interesting printed piece from that era. After all, the same could be said of RN cut squares or postal cut squares cut from their original entires.

That said, if you have preprinted post-it notes with some sort of business function or advertising, who's to say they won't be collectible 150 years from now? There's all sorts of day-to-day miscellany from the mid 18th-century that is considered collecible, where the modern day equivalent wouldn't get a second notice.

Add enough time to anything and it becomes collectible.

Except that the population is MUCH larger today and much more prone to using post-it's then people were using anything from the 19th century.

Well, like I said, go figure, and each to his own. I'm all for anyone collecting anything that they want, however they want to collect it.

Sort of seems that there should be some kind of generally accepted threshold though, where anything to one side of it is "reasonable" perhaps, while collecting stuff on the other side is, I don't know, approaching mental health issues or something.

Just my two cents.

Jim

I don't think people "collect" these, I think they use them for arts and crafts.

For someone to have 300 of various sizes and colors... someone, somewhere, collected them.

Unless, of course, someone at a bakery stole them.

Which is, I think, an even weirder hobby...

Jim

Someone accumulated them, which is really not the same thing.

That Fire Insurance document is very pretty, I can imagine it was just a little speedy, it is something I would enjoy for quite a long time.

That's a good amount of bread tabs don't have the foggiest on what I'd do with them.

Seller does state 30 day returns. I'm almost tempted to buy them just to return them stating that they just weren't the right ones I needed.......

I received the fire insurance document today. It not only has great aesthetics, but it also makes for an interesting read, listing the various rates and the industries and inventories that constituted different hazard levels. I carefully disassembled it, scanned all of the pages, and then reassembled it.
