<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1258500, member: 24274&quot;]Amazing! A typo in the New York Times: &quot;master dye&quot; instead of &quot;master die.&quot; Sorry--compulsive proofreading is professional affliction. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I find food stamps a logical extension of paper money collecting. The obvious comparison is Military Payment Certificates, which no longer have redemption value, but have considerable collector demand. Personally, I think food stamps are even more appealing, because they were intaglio engraved, whereas MPCs were printed using commercial lithography.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Lettow points out, food stamps offer many of the same niche collection possibilities of paper money. This is one of the reasons eBay&#039;s stubborn refusal to open its marketplace is so irksome. Without a broad, convenient way to buy and sell these, this field of collecting may never take off. And there&#039;s really no reason it shouldn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
