Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-301 -- More Projects »

See collectible matchbooks up for grabs at the Calendar Antique Show in Del Mar, Calif.

These matches actually write and light--a bargain at $10.

One of the more popular styles to collect is the wraparound design. There was one complete picture on the front that started on the back and wrapped around to the front. They're priced between $5 and $10.

Billboard matchbooks from the 1940s last longer and are a popular collectible.

Price depends on condition. When purchasing matches, check to see if the striking surface has been used and that all the matches are intact.

Here's a four pack that has never been opened. It sells for $20.

This is a different style matchbook from Ripley, Tenn. Just pull out a match and it quickly lights!
