It’s not exactly specific to my set, so was hoping to get thoughts more generally. Basically, I collect any postcards and matchbooks from any Holiday Inn in Joplin, Missouri (I started just getting stuff from when Mantle owned a hotel there but have since added some stuff that pre and post-dates his involvement). In collecting, I have noticed some trends across the different chains. For example, they all had a generic, black postcard featuring a sign. And, they all seem to have had a generic white postcard of a girl by a pool. I searched and found both for the hotel in Joplin. Now, I also noticed generic black matchbooks picturing a sign and a generic, Christmas themed matchbook. I’ve got the black one. I found a black one for the Joplin hotel but have never seen a Christmas themed one. It probably exists but, if I haven’t actually seen or heard about one in three years of searching, is my collection complete?
