📜 Pack of 50 Old Parchment-Like Paper Sheets - 8.5 X 11 Inches Size for Letters and Flyers - Vintage Colored Aged Paper Resembling Parchment, 60# Text Weight (≈24# Bond), Not a Card Weight Review

When I first opened it I was a bit disappointed. It literally looks like brightly colored computer paper and honestly doesn't look that "old" at all. I have paper to fill my shadow book, so my paper has to be able to stand up to pen and ink. The thinness of this paper bothered me, but I gave it a try anyway. I didn't hold back, I pressed normally with the pen and poured in a normal amount of ink as if using it for more than just a test run. My pen tends to snag on most types of paper, but it…
