NOTES:
 
   In 1892 Joshua Pusey secured a patent for the compact cardboard match, and then sold it to the Diamond Match Company. It took some time to catch on, but matchbook advertising became one of the most successful and cost efficient adverting mediums of all time. Reaching for a single matchbook given away to a patron exposes the advertisement 20-40 times. Baseball was a popular theme to attract customers to a product or service.
 
 This baseball Trivia matchbook does not feature advertising. Categorized as Group I, covers with no advertising issued in sets typically have a particular topic. (i.e, baseball stars, football stars) Issued to shopping centers, or smoke shops in 1974, the Ohio Blue Tip Trivia Matchbooks feature about 67 different trivia questions. Many categories covering; TV, radio, music, history sports, and one baseball question.

 The front cover features a day-glow ballplayer design. The "reverse-striker" side has the trivia question: 'What 1950 baseball team was known as "The Wiz Kids"?' The inside cover reveals the "Answer: Philadelphia Phillies #34" above the matches. "Reverse Striker" refers to a cover which has the striker on the back panel rather than the top flap. The design change came in 1973, when all matchbooks were federally mandated to have the strikers put on the back panel, for safety. Thus, the industry changed from "Front-Strikers" to "Reverse-Strikers."
