does anyone else have this fetish?

I do it too. Its part of the thrill of the trade. My grandfathers old house was insulated in old newspapers when we remodeled the bathroom we found papers from the 60s there was one in there from the jfk assassination. The bathroom was built on years after the house was built. The house was built in the 40s the bathroom was added in the early 60s apparently. But back to parts being wrapped in papers I love going thru the papers and seeing the sale ads and stuff like that just adds some extra excitement to the part I just bought. Im easily amused.
