[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 26792, member: 25"][I]Lots of paper ephemera that most people would discard.[/I] Which is the key. of course. It's the very thing that makes the concept of commercial 'collectables' that are intended to kept, not discarded, that makes them such a flawed investment. Disposability at the time must be coupled with significant design typical of the period for something to take off. It is tricky spotting the recent items that typify early 21st century style, because at the moment it all seems so much of a mish mash.[/QUOTE]
