<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2464128, member: 19463&quot;]There was a day when a person could collect something known to be of no value and people understood that the stuff was trash.&nbsp; The problem is when people start competing for a decreasing supply.&nbsp; I forgot who it was but there was a coin dealer who on the side gathered McDonalds packaging, napkins, advertising etc.&nbsp; His friends would give him stuff (Hey, you want my plastic spoon?).&nbsp; I suspect a 1955 McD wrapper now has a following.&nbsp; Another coin dealer I know collects old Coke bottles.&nbsp; Some have prices more than some of his coins.&nbsp; I once gathered matchbooks but threw them away when it seemed silly.&nbsp; Some of you remember when a beer can collection needed a Billy Beer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Each of these subjects have had proponents that could not understand coins that would not fit in a coin slot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
