Nope. Because it's probably yellowed too just like the advice that is inside. Not everything stays relevant. Other things, like good general sales advice (Zigler, Tracey) are good forever.

Interesting way to phrase the question.  "Should" it be relevant?  Depends on the material.  Probably not if it has anything to do with legalities.

Don't judge a book by it's cover or material by it's storage device.  Could have been some bad environmental factors in that closet... like being a doorway to Narnia.

I found a sewing kit, an ad about a home listed by a lady with a big "dick" in the back which I shared with others. A fly swatter with a retired realtor name on it....

The flyers showed home prices were exactly 10% of what they charge today.
