"If you are talking about current back-strike matchbooks, you may want to shuck them and store flat as they are unlikely to ever be scarce. "

Don, last time I said that was when front-strike matches were plentiful! Never again. I have a Disneyland Hotel ashtray. I believe that its value is enhanced by the fact that Disney prohibits smoking. In fact, I have a book of matches from Club 33 (a Disneyland restaurant). In the future, I believe that artifacts of all smoking will be unusual and somewhat collectable, even if they are back-strike.

BTW - Is there anything you don't collect? <g>
