Yep! There's an entire organized
hobby centering around the collecting of matchcovers...those
little pieces of cardboard that most people just take for granted.
But, those same little pieces of cardboard are crammed with history
and nostalgia--famous people and famous events, wonderful artwork,
and all those special places that have a special meaning to you.
Page
through an album of World War II Patriotic covers and relive
mankind's worst struggle for survival; tackle the challenge of
trying to put together a collection of covers from all
the county seats in the country; search nooks and crannies for
those elusive treasures of the hobby. All this and so much more
awaits you in this truly fascinating hobby.
And,
unlike so many other hobbies centering around collectibles, matchcover
collecting hasn't become a big business like the stamp, coin,
and baseball card hobbies...at least not yet. This is a hobby
characterized by generosity and friendliness, lots of free trading,
and free covers. In short, this is a hobby that still exemplifies
what a hobby is all about.
- Dip
your toes in the water...
- You'll
find it's just the right temperature!
