lol, that's funny, as I love to clip and trim counters.  I use razor blades to separate them from the  sheet, and then use an emory board for fingernails. On. Each. And. Every. One.  :ph34r:

SPI did have some interesting palettes back in the day.  Much softer shades than their AH counterparts at the time.  Almost, like, pastels.
