1934 Diamond Matchbook Baseball Silver Border Jim Elliott Philadelphia Phillies

Description: Check out my E-Bay Store for High Grade Vintage Coins and Pins! During much of the Great Depression, the hobby of matchbook collecting swept the country. Generally selling at two for a penny, the matchbooks began to feature photos and artwork to attract buyers. In the late 1930s, several series of sports subjects were issued by Diamond Match Co., of New York City. By the career summaries on back of these covers it is evident this series was issued over a two-year period. Measuring about 1-1/2" x 4-1/8", the fronts have posed player photos printed in sepia. Borders can be found in red, green or blue, and it is believed that most, if not all, players, can be found in those three color varieties. Matchbooks in this series do not have the team name on back beneath the player name, as is the case on later series. Collectors generally prefer matchbooks to be complete with striker surface on bottom-back, though with matches removed. Values should be halved for covers without strikers. Complete with matches, covers will sell for a 2-3X premium. Shipping is $2.95 for the first item and $1 each additional. Shipping is capped at $5.95. Insurance is automatically added free of charge on orders over $100. Free Shipping for multiple items ordered adding up to over $100. Please contact me with any questions.
