Not too many days where I learn something new and that is why sharing on the forum is a great idea. Yes, I thought it would be fun to slab some Bronko items. I, of course, have Bronko's 1955 Parkhurst wrestling card and his Dixie Lids both large and small because they talk about his wrestling career on them. You are on the right track with me!

Is this way of storing matchbooks a bad idea:

It looks like the seller folded the matchbooks in order to get them to fit into a card saver.

How do others store them? Are there any cases or album pages for these? I don't have one yet, but I missed on my first auction recently:

so I figure I'm getting closer......I bid low not only because of the condition, but with the stubs of the matches in there - I wasn't sure if I should remove them or what.... Any thoughts? Thanks.

If you like to put your raw sets in binders, use the 6 pocket ones for matchbooks. They work really well.

John I followed your link. The matchbooks haven't been folded to fit into the card saver. They stick out a little at the top
