To all,

I am including here a link to the presentation I gave at the Matchbox Gathering of Friends, last July.

The experience was a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to share about the subject with fellow collectors.

Since the topic is so vast, I limited the presentation to types A through D and I am already in the process of getting the Part II done and present it hopefully next year. It will cover types E and F. For now I cover Regular Wheels, Kings Size, Major Packs and Accessory Packs.

Comments are welcome !

Enjoy,

WOW! That's the first word which came up to me when seeing and have read your impressive presentation Pat!

I'm astonished what effort you have made to realise this story of boxes.
I use your boxes site since ever, but this PDF also gives a quick comparison of the various headlines (and details).

My second thought after having read your PDF was: more! more! more! (please)

Couldn't agree more Maarten, and I don't even collect the early 1-75's.
Wonderful effort Pat.

Nice one Pat. I only had time to see the first Three pages (screens), but knew I was in for a treat and look forward to seeing all of it at my leisure.

Great summary and presentation! Thanks for sharing, especially for those of us who couldn't go to the gathering.

Just brilliant, Pat!
Thanks for all the efforts.....

Wow! Went for a quick look and then totally observed - collection of my boxes scattered across the desktop as I compared to your notes Pat.
Always great to learn from a master and beautifully presented.
Well done and thank you.
