Not sure why this percolated into my brain, but did the NSS Exchanges
systematically purge old posters (i.e.10+ years old) so that by the time
they shut down in the mid-80s they just didn't have older posters that were
not - or could not - have been rescued?
I heard an interview explaining that a Canadian exchange one day just
tossed out its older posters. I also read that somebody visited the Atlanta
(or Miami) exchange and it didn't have any older posters when it shut down.
If the surviving 1945-75 posters didn't originate one way or another from
the exchanges, where the he[ck] did they come from?
