Bill I agree, paper is another thing. I like to get them free; they would have to be pretty "special" to pay extra for them, but under some circumstances - I absolutely would.

I never said I was an expert, I can tell good papers from bad papers pretty easily, but very good bad papers are like very good bad lugers, they can fool most of the people some of the time or is it some of the people all of the time, but not every one all the time.

Anyway, if one likes papers great- if you don't - fine.

But they are not worthless to many collectors.
