The only folk who ever see "toppers" are the people on the loading dock 
and the reseller, like Cumberland Farms, where it was first noticed. So, 
there's not much image involved here. About half of the newspapers I 
support (about 8) use junk paper for toppers, though *not* with credit 
card info on them. That part simply amazed me. (A topper is a piece of 
paper on the top of a bundle with the number of copies in the bundle & 
the name of dropoff point written on it, typically.) The recipient at 
the Cumberland Farms, for example, would throw it out when they cut the 
cord of the bundle before they put the papers in the display rack.
