My wifes grandmother had a huge glass vase full of them, probably fill a 5 gal bucket. Sold them at a garage sale for dollar or two.

I'd light a whole book and toss it in the vase before I'd take $2, way more entertaining.

So sad. Many times a TV murder was solved because the killer left a matchbook with a business name on it at the scene of the crime.

I still have a small collection. They were available at restaurants in NYC last year. I have one from America's Team, back from when I played for them. (2nd Trumpet grin) '80-'82. Go Cowboys.

There are some neat crazy things that can be done with a few packages of matches.
