Re: The Horseshoe and Bank Club are re-staples

Some sellers think no one will notice and will pay more for one with matches, especially feature matches.

And they're right, of course...feature matchbooks, without the matches, aren't worth near as much as feature matchbooks with the matches.

The Bank Club is definitely re-stapled...and it doesn't look like the re-stapler really even tried to hide it (if he did, he did a lousy job!)

I don't think the Horseshoe is though...? I've looked at it with a jeweler's loupe and it's not a shiny new staple, I don't see any signs of another set of holes, and I don't see any signs of a staple being removed.
