But for me Goes is still about certificate borders and holiday stationery. Some of the older designs are terrific classics, and I’m always delighted to find a stash of older Goes products at a local stationery store or printer.
I have way too many Goes borders in my collection of blank printing stock, and often make up awards for friends just so I can use them. It’s a lot of fun to try and design type that fits with the classic and lavish border designs.
And even though most stock is now traded electronically, I would love to form a corporation just so I could use one of these blank stock certificates to issue shares.
