Actually, there is a long line of philatelists who will take
credit for this mess. Stamp collectors prized "errors" long
before baseball cards were popular as money making items. Those
of us who grew up with hockey cards and carried them in huge
wads in our back pockets, threw them against the wall in games that
ended up as exchanges, and long sessions of "gotim, needim, gottim,
gottim, needim...." shake our heads in dismay at kids that
put them behind plastic and NEVER touch them....
