Wallets?
The claim that “Wallets did not become a common item until after the 1950s” is bizzare… For a start it, the comment actually links to a Wikipedia article about wallets, which has a history going back through to Ancient times, and which only says that the bi-fold wallet with credit-card slots became a standard pattern from the 1950s (because credit-cards were becoming common), not that wallets were becoming common, or that they were un-common previously. Secondly, the comment is marked by a foot-note citation, giving this historical innacuracy a specious air of authority; the citation actually goes to a page which makes the (although probably correct) unsupported assertion that LePaul created the “Card to Envelope” effect. Lastly, is the comment about wallets actually relevant to a LePaul article? His effect was card to envelope, where the envelope could be substuted by a wallet, but it could also be any other container. Jock123 (talk) 09:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
