Pete Egler's TN Hunting and Fishing HOTSHEET had a monthly expiration date, because of the moon cycles. My Lottery HOTSHEETS had an expiration on them.
It is what makes them HOT.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for this explanation!
I can imagine there could be potentially hundreds of time-limited hotsheets one could create...
What are some of them?
One that comes to mind is SALES... I imagine you could compile a weekly list of where discount sales were in your area. Sure, the info is out there, but having it all in one place would (I think) be valuable...
Especially closeout/liquidation type sales. You can often make money from those. I think I'd pay for that.
I can see how a FISHING hotsheet (as you mentioned) could work... As good ocean fishing for specific fish will often vary with the tides, and thus with the moon...
Maybe another one could be... a hotsheet on IDEAS retailers can use to create FREE PUBLICITY to "piggyback" on current "hot" news!
(This will need constant updating, as the "hot" news keeps changing...)
I'm going to "brainstorm" on time-limited hotsheets and see what else I can come up with...
Best wishes,
Dien
P.S. Actually... I'll also refresh my memory and re-read
Gordon's book on Hotsheets...
