Browse the Categories page to get an idea of at least some that exist and which are the most popular with collectors. Getting Into The Hobby – If you’re just collecting by yourself, outside the hobby, you’re basically like a piece of flotsam aimlessly floating in the sea. You don’t know what’s going on, you have no contacts, and, worse, your chances of finding the covers you’re looking for are seriously restricted. At the very least, you should become a member of the nearest regional club in your area and the national organization, RMS.

Trading – One of the benefits of joining clubs is access to the membership rosters. With this in hand, you’ll be able to pinpoint collectors whose interests in specific types of covers match yours. You’ll be able to trade at club meetings, of course, but if you’re too far away to attend meetings or simply want to trade more heavily, you’ll now be able to contact specific collectors for specific wants.

For example, some phillumenists do not look at the box match value. Instead, they collect labels with artwork that fascinate them. Other collectors focus on specific eras, while others chase after every type of book and box. If you choose to be a vintage matchbook collector, it helps to know your matchbook history, starting with the first promotional matchbooks.

Here is a fun fact. In , Henry Traute ordered 10 million matchbooks with Pabst beer on the covers. As you get into phillumeny, you will realize early on the importance of well-preserved box matches. Take note that if you see covers that are flat and barely have creases, these could be samples for salespeople and are not considered collectibles. Of course, you also do not want boxes that have visible signs of damage, such as mold and taped covers.

Basic Procedures – Matchcovers come from matchbooks, but almost all collectors carefully strip the matches out and collect the covers. Normally, the only “full-books” intact matchbooks collected are those wherein the matches, themselves, have art work on them called “Features” if the matchsticks have detailed pictures on them, and “Printed Sticks” if the matchsticks just have text on them.

The stripped covers are then pressed flat in a variety of ways in preparation for mounting in albums. Most collectors house their covers in 3-ring binders, with the covers either on specially cut pages in which the covers can be inserted now rapidly becoming obsolete , or in the current plastic, see-through pages especially designed for the various sizes of match- covers see the Supplies page for page dealers.

Things Not To Do – The main rule to keep in mind is not to damage or deface covers in any way. Never cut, glue, or staple covers. Never write on the outside of covers, and, if you do have to make any marks, only use light pencil on the inside. Don’t wrap them tightly in rubber banded stacks. Don’t store them in damp areas or areas where they will be directly exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Categories – Covers are collected by categories, of which there are hundreds, and there are more being added all the time–Millennium, web site, e-mail address covers, for instance.

There are subject categories Beer, Military, Holiday Inns, etc. Few collectible hobbies are as flexible as this one in that a collector can find his or her own nitch in matchcover collecting and tailor it to suit his or her own interests and needs.

There is also some collector-category information on the RMS web site which will give you contacts, but collectors, for a variety of reasons, are generally hesitant to trade with people not in the hobby.

Your trader sends you 25 Railroads, for example, because that’s what you want, and you send 25 covers in a category that he’s working in.

Never send ‘ flats ‘, which are basically salesmen’s samples and have never held any matches they have no staple holes and often have not been creased. Also, ” Nationals ” covers with no specific business address are generally unwanted within the hobby, although there are notable exceptions, such as Airlines, Railroads, etc.

Most US collectors also do not want Canadian covers in trade; many do not want any Foreign.

You can still buy kitchen matches and fireplace matches if you just need them for lighting candles and such.

I myself prefer to use one of those butane lighters I think they are safer to light candles with. I’ve burned the end of my finger trying to light a candle with a match. And making a profit by selling them? I know that this is a common “collectors” temptation and great loss to the owners of those places, but with the prices they charge, what can they expect from their patrons, integrity and the Golden Rule?

Of course, I say this “tongue and cheek”. My suggestion is to collect things legally, not by stealing, even if they are in a bowl for each patron to take one or two. It’s common sense that they never intended to fund the world’s collectors, don’t you think? On the other hand, perhaps they love the advertisement.

After I had tired of them setting around I sold them. I feel I collected those matchbooks totally legally! I was going to throw it away but he had a fit. The matchbooks are there to advertise the restaurant or for collectors. The restaurant doesnt care who takes them as long as they get their name out thats why they buy them.

Advertisement By the way I sell matchbooks to restaurants and bars. There are still plenty of buyers and it is a very good job. I get a lot of them from MRE meal ready to eat military rations. They’re really good cuz they’re made for “especially damp climates”. I guess it is like anything put out For Free? If they didnt want you to take them. Then they wouldnt out them out!

Need help? Call If you are a budding phillumenist, then you probably know a bit about the history of matchbooks. In , Joshua Pusey invented the matchbook. His version, however, has a striking surface inside the book.
