The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it.

My rule, after years of this: if it cannot survive being written down with the numbers attached, it is marketing.

The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.

Imprint first, country second, colour last. And photograph both sides in daylight. Not on a two-tone capsule but the pattern is familiar.

Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
