Whoop! Shame on me; hadn't looked at my pic in a while; it's a "Dimag" Restaurant Matchbook (not Diamond); so, it stays. The sport stamp image will work in the space with the COA copy; enhances the overall look of the piece.
I like to show it off when I set up at shows.

Thanks fellas!

Though it is not from one of the listed 1930's matchbook sets, that Dimaggio Restaurant matchbook is in fact made by the Diamond Match Co., so technically it is a Diamond matchbook.

Thank you Bob; that saves me the struggle of digging the piece outta my RV to look closer. It was bugging me (Well then, who did make it?).

It is funny you mention that, because after reading your post I went and double checked my copy of that same matchbook. It is made by the same Diamond Match Co., just not part of any set. Nice item, and there are actually other different DiMaggio Restaurant matchbooks out there. His brother, Dom, also has at least one matchbook for his restaurant that was also in San Francisco. And all of them appear to have been made by the Diamond Match Co., which was out of the San Francisco/Chico, California area. So, no surprise the DiMaggios used them to make their matchbooks to advertise their restaurants since they were local.

I have a long ways to go to get to where my 1st collection was. I need one from each distributing newspaper, of course.
Got this from Kit Young (hi Kit, if you are reading)

Needless to say, I won't destroy the scrapbook to get any of them out.

The scrapbook is in amazing condition, and the stamps in it are perfectly trimmed. There's a wealth of other stuff from the baseball season of 1936 in it, all newspaper clippings, but obviously the Sport Stamps are what make it desirable.

The loose stamps are perfect also.

I'm not much on grading when it comes to cards, but this is different. I reached out to SGC over in Boca Raton, and they actually emailed and then called me. I was told I could hand-deliver the loose stamps for grading/encapsulation if I should choose to do so. I was also told that the scrapbook is most certainly valuable, and please, don't destroy it trying to get certain stamps out of it.

Thanks Jim, I added a few to my checklist . I now have over 800 Sport Stamps documented from the various newspapers. I'm sure more newspapers will continue to surface since I only found the San Francisco Examiner a week ago. If anyone can help with this project contact me . Thanks

Nice to see the 1936 Sport Stamps (biased comment) getting a little love in REA ...even with a bit more common newspaper origins for the series. Nice looking ones, for sure. Congrats to the winner(s)....btw, these weren't my consignments.

Jason, thanks for the listing. I will catalog my stamps and post them in the near future. I have several but haven't taken the time to sort through them.
