The matchbooks seem to come up raw more often than graded and I wouldn't think fakes are a huge issue, so I am leaning towards picking up a few raw - not really going after the set, but more thinking of companion pieces for players who weren't included in the Chicle set since I like the 30s.
Phil, I took a quick look at John Spano's GG article from several years back and it does mention: "1933 Diamond Cal Hubbard - Only member of both Baseball and Football HOF, $800-$1000 not quite as rare as ’33 Herber......". I vaguely recall someone posted an image of one recently - I wouldn't be surprised if the price has gone up....

I have some raw matchbooks and they are in 6 pocket binders and fit really well. I'll try to take a picture for you tonight.
There was a 1933 Cal Hubbard Diamond Matchbook that came up on ebay in a lot that closed last week. Anybody snag it? If so, they got a decent price even though it was pretty beat up.
