Default 1935 Diamond Matches: Considered cards?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

OK, you mavens have somewhat convinced me.

Maybe matchbook covers are "collectables", not cards. I'll start thinking of my few T3s as something other than cards. My lone T200 premium isn't a card. I guess I should pitch it out.

And I agree a lobster isn't a fish. I applaud that reasoning, even if it udoes what I'd thought.

So what are is my 1961 Post Henry Aaron? It is one of the few collectables from my childhood that didn't go to the trash can or neighbor kids.

I kinda like the St. Louis Cardinals. And matchbooks (I admittedly don't call them cards, even though I perceive them to be so) are a good way to get some of those Gas House players. Only way to get Rothrock as a Cardinal and by himself is on the matchbook.
