Not comics related, but still collectibles...

Was given a matchbook collection of well over 1000 matchbooks mostly from the 60s/70s through the 80s/90s.

Sets of local (Arizona), Vegas, USA and international. Evenly split into those four sets. 

Started picking  through them last night, interesting stuff. A lot of these places don't exist anymore, and I chuckled to find a few Disneyland matches. The space shuttle one was cool too. 

I know nothing about collecting matchbooks but these were fun to pick through.

I love the old Vegas match books. Don't know what I would do with them if I had them, but they are cool. From a different era.

Holy cow, Mondo Gecko. I had that figure

So funny you say that about Mondo Gecko!  I think that's the sticker I pulled one time as well, along with the full team, gold background (leftmost sticker in the pic).  I haven't thought about these in a LONG while.

I think I picked these up at the local Dominick's in Chicago through one of those sticker vending machines.  That must have been around 1991.  These immediately got peeled and stuck to the footboard of my bed.  That was the best place I could think to put them as a kid.  Those two stickers fell off long ago, though I had other plain white TMNT stickers that are still firmly attached.

I'm a big fan of vending machine stickers. I have the vending machine inserts from those stickers.

Those are ads from the sticker vending machines, not uncut sheets. They are printed on cardboard and used to advertise the stickers.
