Found a 'rare' first edition listing online, paid $75, and it arrived with a grocery receipt for cat food from 1998 still inside.
The receipt was the most interesting thing about the book, which was a cheap reprint, so I basically paid seventy-five bucks for a twenty-six-year-old piece of paper that says 'Fancy Feast, 12 cans'.

Call it a time capsule if you want. It's still just an old receipt for cat food. The whole thing sounds like a bad deal dressed up with a story.

My cousin spent two hundred dollars on a sealed can of soup from the 1990s. At least a receipt for cat food has a specific story attached to it.

Paid seventy-five bucks for a twenty-six-year-old piece of paper" is a steal for a time capsule like that. The book is just the boring container, the receipt is the real artifact.
