I received a 1964 Danish catalog from a European collector recently. Since I
got if for free (after buying some other items), I thought it was great. The
one sheet (two sided) catalog is in such great condition, I was wondering if it
wasn't a photocopy. (It seemed more like copier paper than old Lego catalog
paper.) I know that scanned items can be detected as copies by looking at the
items with a powerful magnifying glass, and seeing the dots or pixels. But I am
not familiar with photocopied items. Do they too have those "dots" when
magnified like scans off a dot matrix printer?
And while I'm on the topic, just many years back do the Lego copyrights extend?
Just wondering.
