Just had some D311 diodes turn up in the post from Bulgaria. I thought that they would come in a plastic bag, but no, they were in a mint condition sealed cardboard box containing a data sheet stamped 1973. I slit the paper box seal open as carefully as I could, but now almost feel bad for having done it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get ridiculously excited by un-opened 40 year old cardboard boxes?

Do I need help.....?
