I decided some time ago to start collecting matchbooks, at least from all the casinos i had been to. I threw them all in a box, and then a bigger box and so on.

I bought some binders, a bit larger than the normal chip binders, with pages divided into 6 and 8, which fit the two normal sizes of open matchbook perfectly. Problem is, with the matchbooks full, you only get about 8 pages in the binder - so the questions are:

Do you collect the matchbooks 'full' or cover only?

How do you store them?

In the case of a 'rarer' book, what is the difference in 'value' between a cover and a full book?
