1933 Diamond Matchbooks

The last Nagurski that I know of that sold was in a lot...believe it was 2011.

The other one I have notes on sold in the Spring of 2005 on eBay.

As tough if not tougher than Herber.

Thanks John - always good to hear from you!

I normally don’t care for reprint sets because there always seems to be a scammer trying to sell as the real thing, but I wish someone would reprint these as cards - I’d buy just to look through and read the backs. I know MSB has a good inventory and there is one eBay seller who has a number of them up as BIN - but I’m yet to see an auction - I’m guessing they aren’t frequent….

I have about 8-10 of the 33's however, I only collect HOF'ers.

Im still missing Nags, Herber and Hubbard.

Here is a "unfolded proof" maybe a salesman's sample?

[davemri]

a few others.

Awesome - thanks Dave. Since I bought a bunch of HOF rookies from you, I'm guessing your out of the card game. Are you strictly collecting memorabilia and "oddball" items like matchbooks these days? Did you see the pre-war thread? The Spaulding Friedman and Star Player Candy Driscoll come to mind as HOF rookie (unofficial) cards - did you go after any of those?

[davemri]

yeah, been out of the game for a few years. Divorce forced me to sell my entire football HOF RC set that was sitting at 100%.

However, I did manage to keep my matchbooks and pre-rookies that I enjoyed hunting down. The cards I sold are all replaceable. These matchbooks, not so much.

I definatly have my eye open for a Driscoll and Friedman and I came real close at landing one of each but came up just short. Long story.

anyway, yes, I'm looking more at memorabilia and adding things here and there. I just finished my basement last year and piddle with things for my display.

Hope all is well!!

Dave
