Eadie, the former senior vice president of the Magazine Publishers of America, also views them as art. Some early matchcover designs were simple pen-and-ink sketches while later versions included matchsticks manufactured to look like people, or skis, or oil dipsticks. Back in the '60s, to organize his burgeoning collection, Eadie sent away for a binder and inside found a card that led him to the Rathkamp Matchcover Society. The society was founded in by a group of enthusiastic matchcover collectors in New York City.

Today, there are over 9, members, including Eadie. Members come from around the U. Eadie was there. Most collectors, Eadie said, have a niche: Some collect wedding matchcovers the goal is to find a pack that corresponds with every date of the year ; others collect specific genres, such as Howard Johnson restaurants matchcovers, or those issued during the U. Bicentennial in Eadie has 25, different hotel matchcovers, a reflection of his early travels with his family.

That personal connection is what gets most collectors going. He and a fellow collector met a man at an event, who mentioned his father was in the Navy during World War II. What year, what ship was he on? This is something special. It's hardly a lucrative hobby. Unlike coin or stamp collecting, matchcovers — even rare ones like a Charles Lindbergh Commemorative Dinner matchcover — don't fetch huge prices. You're not in it for the money. Also, I have met so many remarkable people over my collecting, from all parts of the world.

Eadie finds his treasure by swapping with fellow collectors, at collecting events, markets such as the annual Brimfield Antique Market in Massachusetts, and occasionally at a garage sale. 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.

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.
