Posted By: <b>Howie</b><p>They are Diamond Matchbook covers, made from 1934 to 1936. Actually they are only part of the cover. The ones you show have been cut down from the full cover, and have no value. The full covers run about $5.00 for commons and $25 for stars. Search for Diamond Matchbook Covers and you'll find full sized ones.

If so, how much do those go for? I would imagine they would be very rare and much more valuable...

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>The full matchbooks with matches do show up for sale occassionally. They are not common. I believe they sell for over $100 for common players, and several times that for HOFers.
