You aren't fussy...you have high standards! And it shows in your posts.

I do prefer to have all the matches in the books, but I don't mind too much if it's missing a match or two...these were made to be used. If we have duplicates I will take the matches out of one book. Part of me likes having just the covers...because they fit into a binder with other flat stuff.

I have split-desires on postcards, too...part of me likes them crisp and clean and new looking. Part of me likes them written on and mailed...

This is one of my favorite postcards . It's not very pretty, and the condition is a bit of a mess, but the message makes me smile!
