Vintage 1934 Diamond 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.

1966 Topps Rub-Offs COMPLETE MASTER STRIP
20 different Rub-Offs with Sandy Koufax and 4 other Hall-of-Famers !
From the days when inserts were neat !!!
1966 Topps Rub-Offs have colorful, attractive pictures, which by rubbing the reverse side with a coin (quarters worked best), could be applied to surfaces like desks, books or walls.
A great items for kids - a nightmare for parents and teachers !!!

In 1961 Topps issued a similar item called "Magic Rub-Offs". There were 36 different in that set. Topps went way much further with their 1966 issue containing 120 different rub-offs (100 players & 20 team pennants). The rub-offs were released as inserts with one in each 1966 Topps wax pack. Each rub-off measures 2-1/6 inch by 3 inch and were printed in rolls with each roll containing numerous groups of 20 different.

A favorite use of the rub-offs for kids was to place one of the images on your bat. It was supposed to help you hit like the player. I tried it and it worked ! Unfortunately the image I used was Sandy Koufax who ended up batting .076 with no home runs in 1966.

SET DETAILS:
(5) Hall-of-Famers: Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, Joe Morgan, Frank Robinson & Ron Santo
(3) Team pennants: Astros, Cubs, Giants

Also: John O'Donoghue, Mickey Lolich, Pete Ward, Ed Kranepool, Cookie Rojas, Sam McDowell
        Denis Menke, Tim McCarver, Mel Stottlemyre, Tony Oliva, Pete Richert & Bobby Knoop

Grades EX/MINT to NEAR MINT with just a little aging on the edges.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.

From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.

There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
