Filler

Filler.  A collectors term for a specimen in low condition intended to be replaced by a better specimen at a later time. Since items in collectible condition should be easy to obtain, fillers are usually of varieties of extreme rarity. Thus it is better to have some example of a rare variety than none at all.
