Ben, Mike and I discussed when this popped up and came to the conclusion it was faded. The brown even looks a bit washed out and the red/yellow, from what I know, are the first to go with light exposure. It’s not a genuine variation (I’ve only seen one “one-off” variation in Holiday Inn matchbooks in about fifteen years of watching them).

A side question. I do not collect match books. Does any company grade them ? If not do sellers rate them like cards , P, VG, E, M or similar ? How much of a “grade” would relate to just the cover, and how much to the inside ? Do all the matches have to be present for the book to be mint ? Does the number of missing matches affect the “grade” ? Would missing matches make the book “altered” ?

Still a faded matchbook IMO. There is red on the back (restaurant, cocktail lounge and swimming pool), and you can see red and yellow that has faded on the front.
Al, I collect with matches and without. I have not noticed a premium for either.
