1937 Diamond Matchbook U4 question

[rdwyer]

How rare are these? I got a Carl Hubbell, but can't find any in the PSA pop report. Can't even find recent sales or anything. Can someone tell me what it might be worth? (Full matchbook with striker, no matches)

Unless you find a player collector or someone doing the whole set I don't think there will be a lot of value. I would guess a bit more than a regular, other HOF'er. But maybe someone collects them and will chime in? There doesn't seem to be great demand, at too much of a value, for those kinds of matchbooks. Good luck!!

The 1937 Diamond Matchbook U4 as mentioned is from 1936 and the 1937 Diamond Matchbooks were just Cub's I could be wrong Here is a picture of mine

From Prewarcards.com site:

Rarity

So which of these are the tough ones? The U2 Diamond Matchbooks with the black borders and the U4 issues are probably the rarest. To date, PSA has only graded a handful of them total and they aren’t seen very often.

rgpete: U4 have player name, and team underneath on bio side. U3-2 were mostly Cubs.

Yes agreed as my picture shows that, the U4 and U3-2 seem to be a small series issued separate

They are only worth what somebody is willing to pay on any given day and how bad they need it

I like the matchbooks for players I can’t find on any other cards. Bill Klem has a matchbook as does Jocko Conlan as a player. But they aren’t particularly valuable.
