Diamond Matchbooks - Do these exist?

I don�t believe any sort of master checklist exists, complete with all color variations, for Diamond Matchbooks. Wondering if any of these Carl Hubbell matchbooks exist:

1934 Silver Border (U1) in red. I have only seen green, blue, and orange.

1935 Black Border (U2) in red or blue. I have only seen green.

1935-36 (U3-1) in green or blue. I have only seen red.

Thanks,
Jason

Jason, See second post I made - I forgot you mentioned Hubbell.

I have 34 Silver Red - Grimm in fact I have 2 and Herman
I have 1935 Series 2 Black Border Blue - Grimm
If by 1935-36 (U3-1) you mean No Team Names Back Cover –
I have Blue - Bryant Casey Hack Harnett Lee
Green – Galan Jurges Kowilak Root Stainback Warneke

I used Old Baseball for my check lists back in 2013 and had a person (Charles Specht) come back and tell me that in 1935-36 Series 4 there are 3 sets of three in green, blue and red; one has has name on back dark shirt – one is white shirt black ink and the other white shirt brown ink. I have found Cubs in all three but not all colors.

Jason, Sorry don't have any Hubbell but, for reference,

I have 1935 Series 2 Black Border Blue - Grimm

I haven't looked recently but you may check Old Baseball for the check lists.

Thanks for the tip to check OBC. Their U2 checklist indicates only one color per player for that series and suggests all other series used all colors for each player. I don�t know if I totally believe that second part but it�s still good info.

I have the 1936 U4 green border with New York Giants on the back

That sounds like the U4 series, which includes Hubbell (and likely all players) in Red, Blue, and Green.

I made the correction just before or after your response.

I know this is of no help but here is a U1 orange Hubbell(if the photos start working)
