In the world of collecting, some terms take on special meaning. Ephemera (often expanded to Paper Ephemera) usually means those paper items which don't fit into the categories of books or magazines.

What are some of the Ephemera items? Brochures, paper advertisements, pamphlets, political paper handouts, collectible paper wrappers (for instance, some people collect old chewing gum wrappers!), postcards (but not usually for their stamps), letters, and the like. Ebay usually has a plethora of paper ephemera for bid!

Happy collecting!
