Not counting any stacks...

I think mine is some old Karen Foster Valentine paper. I remember I had just met Linda Auclair and we were gushing over it. It had to have been from 2003-2004.

I still have some really old heritage papers I bought back in 2001 or 2002. They're from K & Co., Daisy D and Karen Foster.

I still have some gingham from that KF collection, Heather!

I think the oldest stuff that I still have in my stash is some Susan Branch stickers from my very first Michael's run back in 2001!

Let's see, I started paper scrapping about 20 years ago--so that would probably be about the oldest paper in my stash!!

Oh, and Linda, I LOVED that gingham paper!! I hoarded it!! Every color!!

Hmmm, I'm not sure which of these would be the oldest, but for sure have some MME Wild Asparagus, and some Daisy D's, and Creative Imaginations. BUT I have just kitted them up to get them used and onto pages!!

While cleaning this weekend, I found a stash of ancient Chatterbox papers, some Fontwerks, and even my dwindling stash of Paper Fever! Heather, I still have a small stash of Daisy D's left - I've used most of it, though.

Do you suppose there is a market for "vintage" papers? I have a HUGE stack that I have purged, and was thinking about boxing them up for sale or trade.

Heck yeah! Whatever matches goes in there, especially some washi and mists. Kind of breathes new life into it, you know? I don't fall out of love with as paper just because its old.

Having owned a sb store, I have a ton of 'old' papers.....but I have kept them, I've noticed that most of them can be paired with new products, and don't even look 'dated' but for all the most dicerning eyes (most of us) that can name a manufacturer from a quick glimpse of the pattern

Ok, apparently I am in the minority here...but the oldest paper I have is from last year's SC line. But in all fairness, I only have about 1/2 in stack of paper (besides what comes in my Gossamer Blue kit each month). If I don't use it on a layout, I will cut it up for PL.

I just used some paper that I bought 8 years ago when I first started scrapping. It's white with embossed silver stars and paired with some new bright Jillibean Soup it looks great. No need to purge it if I love it---I'll use it up eventually.

Some of the original Chatterbox rooms. I loved the textures and patterns. They've made through years of purges and I just can't let go of them.

I started scrapbooking in 2010. So my oldest paper is from 2010, it is from Magnolia, a wood background - I only used it as a background when photographing projects... and now I don´t want to use it but rather look at it and think of the good old times

I'd be interested in trading some paper if anyone is interested. I'd love to have some more Wild Asparagus, Kaleidoscope, Daisy D., Chatterbox, or Basic Grey. It doesn't matter to me that's it's old.
I have a lot of the older Basic Grey, and other old style papers not sure which line right now, but if anyone is interested let me know. I also have a lot of ribbon if anyone wants to trade ribbon for paper. Love Penny

I have paper so old that there aren't even any manufacturer's marks on the back! I think it's def time for me to start purging!

I have papers from the 90s; stickers from the 70s; and an unused scrapbook album from the 40s (it belonged to my grandmother who was a scrapbooker too).
