I ended up using only one or two less-pleasing ones, thus preserving 24 other more appealing and useful binders. After I found myself bored and uninterested with the one I was using, it occurred to me that I was probably saving them for no more than Austin Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534516415411859375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-9427143313628946302017-05-11T02:43:10.112-04:002017-05-11T02:43:10.112-04:00There is a planner I love to bits but I'm scar...There is a planner I love to bits but I'm scared to use because they don't make them any longer and I think they are perfect. It is my black personal Balmoral. I have used it for years and it shows a few signs of wear but nothing dramatic. I know that I could easily use it for many other years but I don't want it to come to a point when it will be too worn out.

Someone else can add the scratches, but I have a harder time doing it myself. This makes it hard to own brand new items, but also rare items in good condition.<br /><br />I've had a few beauties that arrived in too nice of condition to use, but they've moved on (A5 Aston, A5 Chameleon).

"Light duty" would typically be desk-based. Some movement between the categories occurs, but not that much. I have one duplex binder that was from old stock and unused that will probably always remain in the "mint" category!gmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772023016889832202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-10838059258206664402017-05-10T04:12:16.735-04:002017-05-10T04:12:16.735-04:00I have a pocket red Amazona that is so gorgeous I ...I have a pocket red Amazona that is so gorgeous I would hate to scratch its gleaming finish as they are discontinued.

I´ve never been careful about using it, I´ve always conditioned it, it´s been with me in several countries and places, it´s been tossed to the floor by somebody (our friendship never recovered.
