<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 116375, member: 1262&quot;]I thought that this article (article below) on matchbook collecting was interesting. It states that some matchbook collectors view the hobby as a poor man&#039;s coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I go to estate auctions regularly and every once in a while you will come across a matchbook collector. I even got a few accumulations grouped in with items I did want. There usually isn&#039;t much interest in them and they are sold in large lots for a few dollars each. Seems like a hobby, somewhat like stamps, that is on the verge of dying out. I never knew there were matchbook collectors conventions, I guess its not something that you don&#039;t hear about if you aren&#039;t a matchbook collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joe Blundo commentary: A man with 250,000 matchbooks</p><p><a href="http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2016/02/02/joe-blundo-column-a-man-with-250000-matchbooks.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2016/02/02/joe-blundo-column-a-man-with-250000-matchbooks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2016/02/02/joe-blundo-column-a-man-with-250000-matchbooks.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
