I always thought the matchbook route would be an inexpensive but challenging avenue to pursue to obtain 1930's players. But I had to narrow things down somehow, and items like matchbooks, pins, stamps and postcards had to be pushed aside so that cards could remain my main focus. Here are my 3 examples. Good luck on your quest.

Matchbooks as a general collecting (sport, non-sport) is an interesting area. As shown, these issues include other sports-- hockey, American football, etc. I had a few sets way back when.

I have near complete sets on baseball and hockey and acquired most of them from legendary collector Frank Nagy when he had his auctions.

That sounds like an amazing collection. Any photos?

I have quite a few Cubs and quite a few extra Cubs. Also a few 37 and One 38 Bears. There was a fellow on here that sent me a checklist a number of years ago. Don't know if I still have it or not. Will look.

A few years back, I purchased some sets and wanted to see how PSA would grade them.
