    I wouldn't shoot just because they are getting to be collector items

    Pretty sure you can still buy paper shells from Federal... http://www.federalcartridge.com/ammocat20.asp?s1=1

    ...nothing smells quite like a freshly fired paper shotgun shell...brings back childhood memories of hunts long ago...

    If they are old they are collectable .Some more than others.Do you still have them in the box? They are collectable too.I`ve got several rows of old boxes (some empty and some full) on the wall of my gum room.Don`t shoot em till you know what you got.You might be burning a small fortune.

    I inherited about 400 rounds of paper shells some still in the box. Thanks to Iconoclast and others I found out the boxes were worth a few bucks, and the shells were also. So Im a keeping em!
