Hang onto it 100 years from now some lunatics may view it as a collectible.

Once i saw Leon's initial post, i knew Johnny would be all over this thread.

As many people above have mentioned, they are cards that, for one reason or another, were weeded out due to QC issues, and never made it into distribution- missing color, blank back, upside down back, ghosts, multi-strike test runs, etc.

A few that i own...

I have kept some "scrap" from a former company. One year we produced the badges for a Tiger Woods Golf Tournament and they got misprinted (If I recall they didn't have the cut lines so they couldn't get cut properly since that was all done digitally) so I kept the press run that got messed up. Hopefully some day Tiger Wood's collectors find them collectible making moving the rolls from house to house worth it. Also I know I am the only one with them because the other people at the company thought I was strange for wanting them so when QC found more mistakes they would bring them to me and ask if I wanted those also.

IF scrap hoarders need 100 years to find a lunatic buyer, there may be more than one lunatic in the scrap supply chain.
Personally I'm placing a large bet today with my bookie on the winner of the 2112 Kentucky Derby. Call Me Crazy .......maybe frankbmd

This post is respectfully submitted on a hand cut 3 x 5 blank back file card provided by Miss Ima Scrapsheet, VP of Communications for ScrapsRUs, a company you will not find on the web. Their website developer is also a lunatic.

Hang on to it, Leon.
