How can you possibly describe this valuable material as 'near junk'?

There is no such thing as 'junk' which you have carefully collected over
the
years!


I'd love to attribute 'carefully collected' but shoved in until the door
is
bursting open doesn't quite do it. ;-)

But that is exactly what 'carefully collected' means!

No, Alan, that's squirrelling! ;-)

Junk is what you throw away today and find a use for tomorrow!
