Matches - French Casino, Chicago

I don't collect full match books or empty ones. But I was asked to go through a big old brown grocery paper bag half full of these. At a glance they are from all over the place and from casinos yes but any other types of businesses.

This one caught my eye since it's so big and still full of matches.

I know you are not supposed to ship full match books through the mail. Do folks collect just the covers only or does anyone collect if still full of matches.?? It's a lot of work to remove the matches so it makes me wonder if there is any value in these ?

As you can see this is huge next to a regular book. Be a shame to remove the matches from this book.
