Default 1934 Diamond Match

Posted By: Richard

OK, I'm fairly new to match cover collecting, so these may be basic questions, but here goes...

In the Sports Collectors Bible, it states that some players appear in all 4 color color covers (blue, green, red, tan), some only appear in green red & tan, and some only in 1 color. Is there an up-to-date list of which players appear on which color covers? The nature of how I collect things requires me to not only collect every player in the set, but also every color variation and any other variation.

Michael, thanks a bunch! That helps me out tremendously.

Are there known "rarities" in certain colors that are not rare in others? Do certain colors sell for any premiums?

Michael, looking through my covers I have an Allen Shi in green, that is not listed on your list.

Default 1934 Diamond Match

Posted By: Michael Moran

60 years ago Tom Torrent and Frank Tripodi listed the known matchbooks in the sets put out by the Diamond Match company in the early 1930s - baseball, football, hockey, night life, broadcasting stars, and movies. These are called the T & T lists and have been passed around and published widely. I have Sports Collectors Digest Standard Catalog of Football Cards, but they don't list different colors and I don't see Link Lyman in their list. So as different colors and differt players are discovered, I don't know where a database for that information would be kept - except in this forum. Some players are hard to find in specific colors - Mel Hein in tan for example - at least for me, that was the one among the NY Giants that took the longest to find. That was the only part of the set I was really looking to complete. So it can run the price at auction up if someone is trying to finish their set and needs a specific cover. The most I've ever seen a 1934 matchcover go for on eBay was a tan Red Grange that sold for $511 in 2001 - and I haven't seen another up for auction since. I didn't buy it, but I saved the scan:

I know this cover has been listed in guidebooks going all the way to the original sports collectors bible but I have never seen it offered for sale in my 20+ years of collecting.

Does anyone out there have this cover that they would like to share with the group?

Thanks

Mike

It has been on my wantlist for a long time...I have never seen even a photo/scan of the card. According to a few fellow collectors, its existence has been confirmed.

Has it ever been confirmed that tan versions definitely were not made for some players? I would doubt that, but simply don't know. Also, is it anyone's collecting experience that the tan version is available less frequently than the red and green versions as a whole or individually?

My friend Bob Borton, who knows more about matchbooks than anyone else I know, sent this email:
One of my fellow collectors shared a listing of 2nd football type
1. I noticed an addendum with additional names as follows. Randolph,
Clare - Tan, Brumbaugh, Carl Tan, Lubatovich, Milo - Tan, Pearson,
Madison - tan and Seick, Earl - tan. I'd never seen it before. This
should explain some of the questions we had.
