Right, and there can also be added benefits.

I purchased these (below) and more like them in the 60s. Obviously scrapbooked. Someone ripped wax in '54 and immediately went to work on them. Except for the trim job they are as close as I am ever going to get to pack fresh: high gloss, stiff stock (sharp corners, LOL). I also purchased some untrimmed, non-preserved 54s from the same seller. No comparison.
