Vick,

Hey Vick go for it, they're only damn packing boxes!  hell if I'd known
years ago what the Leica paper bits and pieces were going to be worth
today I'd have saved them instead of throwing them away like all the
other boxes for gear.

Then I'd be buying a bunch of new gear right now with what we might call
"paper box money!" :-)
