<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1257309, member: 10103"]That's quite an interesting analogy Gboulton, but as with all things, there is always a market out there for something. And while the market for puppy dung may be rather exclusive, I'm sure that someone is probably making a profit on the end product. Heck, as a matter of fact we've got an enterprising young fellow around here who specializes in the removal of said product and advertises it on his car as he rides around our area......"always on doody". I think he's rather successful at the moment. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But I wouldn't analogize Classic Commems in quite the same way, except for the fact that it's a dirty job and someone's got to do it....someones got to collect 'em. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I see them more from an historical stand point.
