Yep! There's
an entire organized hobby centering around the collecting of
matchcovers...those little pieces of card- board 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 collect- ibles, 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.
Come
on in and look around. Dip your toes in the water...You'll find
it's just the right temperature! |
