...a club for matchcover collectors
in Northern California and around the world, Sierra-Diablo is
one of the largest regional matchcover clubs in North America.
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!
