Football Matchbooks
Matchbook collecting was sweeping the nation back in the 1930's
with most sports matchbooks issued by Diamond Match Company out
of New York.
The football matchbooks were printed over a period of several
years in assortment of colors and included both professional and
collegiate football players.
1930's matchbooks are huge bargains for collectors as their
values are fractions of that of Goudey and other issues from the 1930's.
Diamond also produced several issues of Hockey and Baseball Matchbooks.

1981 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
For the first time in many years, Topps had to share the baseball card
market with others. Donruss and Fleer entered the market with their own
1981 sets. When collector's heard they were thrilled. When they saw
the Donruss and Fleer cards they were many sighs of disappointment.
1981 will always be remembered for "FERNANDO MANIA" !!!
Fernando did not make the Hall-of-Fame and he even had to share
his rookie card with another player, but he had more impact during
the 1981 season then anyone.
Other rookies included Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines.
Kirk Gibson's rookie is also here. Not a Hall-of-Famer, but who
can forget his home run off the then unhittable Dennis Eckersley ?

Baseball card collecting terms (part A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
