Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Sure is an Armpit indeed. My son Mike was the last employed Boston Globe paperboy in New England and earned $5k for college. Sadly, they have been phased out. for nearly 15 years now. <br /><br />I greatly appreciate all the evals on this card. <br /><br />I now wonder how many different news agencies are represented in this Issue... If anyone would like to post some N333 examples it would be terrific. Steve F
