What criteria do you use to discard brass for reloading?

[Rickf1985]

"...boxes of loaded surplus ammo..." That may or may not be reloadable(might be collector ammo too).

I have had several people mention the collectible thing to me but when I offer it to them the price I am offered is the same or real close to what I would have to pay to buy more ammo to shoot. So, as much as I want to support the collectible side of the hobby i also want to shoot the hobby side of it. If the ammo is so collectible then people would pay enough to preserve it while giving the person selling it reason to go to all the trouble. I did screw up by opening two boxes of Utah marked ammo dated 42. I will admit to that one. I am not going to shoot the ammo but it seems the only thing people wanted was the sealed box label.

Agreed, that puts the collector argument to rest.
