RATHKAMP MATCHCOVER SOCIETY THE VOICE OF THE HOBBY SINCE 19~ I fRMs BuLLETIN NO. su January/Fet,>ruary 20061 by MikePrero Five years ago, we started this survey/report. Here's what I currently have as the largest collections in the hobby. I have no doubt that many of the numbers shown here can be superseded by larger collections that have not been reported or have simply not been counted. I'm hoping that when you notice that you have a larger collection than what is noted here in a specific category, you'll contact me with your collection numbers. I will not use your name unless you give me permission to, so please include a yes or no with the stats you send in. No estimates, please. These need to be exact counts. The figures here refer to 'all different covers;' although variations are OK. If you have categories not listed here, please add them, although the listing is already very large, so I'm normally not reporting totals of' 1' or really obscure categories.
