84: "Look. These aren't real stamps here," Veikko said. 

They are the sorts of artifacts that Pierce Inverarity collected,
the fake postage of underground mail systems, the 
communication links for anarchists. In CoL49, Oedipa
is perfectly middle-class and insulated. She is an outsider
looking in via a collection of Cinderellas and forgeries.
