Diamond matchbooks

It also might have to do with the various widths they'd have to support since some of these are flat like bobtails (without the striker) and match covers (with the matches removed), some have the matches intact and a collector wants the case opened so you can read the entire matchbook, and others are closed matchbooks that just show the players image.

They are cool, though. Here are a few of mine

SGC grades and encapsulates the match covers [with the matches removed] in their tall boy holder. A baseball example:

I just graded the entire 1933 set. Very very tough to complete.

Thanks to everyone for the posts.

Jeff - I really like that Grange - I can always count on you for some nice scans.

That is really good news about SGC - I wasn't expecting to see one in a holder. Props to SGC.

After I posted of course, I actually surprised myself and found these in my Becket catalog right on my own shelf. Does anyone know if Jefferson R. Burdick collected and/or cataloged these with one of his numbers?

Carl, if you can get those scanned onto the SGC registry, that would be really nice to see. I heard 33 is the toughest set especially Arnie Herber
and Cal Hubbard. Was that your experience?

Yes he did (of course!). They are listed under the designation "U" in the ACC.

Thanks Jeff. I'd like to pick up an ACC at some point. The newer guides like Becket - do they still mention his designations? Mine (2012-2013 Football Card Price Guide) didn't as far as I can find.

Not the guides I have.
