Between IA and the old usenet (Odeon and Albie), pretty much all Sams up to 1964 are already out there in 300DPI or better. I'm currently dumping my Sams 1-1900 (1946 to about 1977), as nobody seems to want them. I used to offer them for postage, with no joy either here or on ARF. Open requests on ARF currently for Sams folders, yet when you offer an original folder for postage only - you get the "nah, I'll pass." I still dunno what folks were expecting.

Same with sets - I gave away 5 sets, two consoles, an electrostatic set, and two portables to one guy - the only one that was willing to cross town and pick them up - every other collector wanted me to deliver a free console. Um, not happening. So sad that when I come across NOS parts I no longer need I no longer think "someone might want that" - I just toss them.
