I've had the same experience with old reeds, including a few of the older generation of "purple box" Vandorens (yes, I'm one of the people who bitched about them) -- a nice excuse for hoarding a ridiculous number of bad reeds for various instruments.

Oh, and there's the excuse about the reed that doesn't work on *these* mouthpieces but, hey, who knows, it might be the perfect reed for some unknown mouthpiece of the future. Waste not, want not, right?

When the second drawer fills up, I'll cull some of these reeds. Really I will. This time I mean it. (Yeah, r-i-i-i-i-ght.)
