I only have one, which is funny considering I have over half a million matchbook covers. Always thought about collecting these but never got around to it. I won't be doing so now, as my interest in matchcovers waned nearly 30 years ago.

The one I have means a lot to me, as it was given to me directly from the player who appeared on it. Ray Berres and his wife were dear friends. He kept a cookie tin half filled with his matchbook for over 70 years. They just sat on a shelf and were never touched, so the one he gave me is in pristine shape; the staple never even rusted. Full book. My only wish is that I had asked him to sign it. He would have gladly done so, but I knew his arthritis would give him trouble trying to sign something so small and oddly shaped.
