Diamond Matchbooks Question

As many of you know, I collect Lefty O'Doul cards. I recently picked up a Diamond Matchbook of him. The striker is intact but the matches are removed. I understand that SGC will slab these items. Have any of you had them graded and if so, how did the grades come out?

I called in March. They said that they were not grading matchbooks. I hope that I was misinformed because I have a dozen or so football matchbooks that I would like to have graded.

I have a Chuck Klein wo/matches. I also have some 1961 F&M Twins matchbooks that are the same size--some with, some without matches.

Their pop report shows that they grade these, although fewer than 10 and none very high. Their latest pricing sheets show 1934-37 Diamond Matchbooks as requiring a custom holder, so they apparently still grade these.

So Adam, with fewer than 10 graded there's a chance nobody here can answer your question--wanna be a guinea pig?
