Interest BTTF II <> Biff's Pleasure Paradise Matchbook

[Jintosh]

............

I printed up some of these matchbooks.
These are actual matchbooks printed on my laser printer.

Cost is $10 for 1 matchbook. This includes shipping.

$45 for 6.

$80 for 12.

It should be noted that the original staple hole will be present, since I had to take it apart to run it through my printer.

I'll take 6

 

[Jintosh]

Gotcha.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Do you know if it's allowed to ship matchbooks to the uk?

I would be willing to send them, and give a refund if they don't clear customs.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

The only things that bugs me a bit is that the design seems to be a bit off centered, and that the matchbooks are black x)

Darn. You're right on both counts. :facepalm

The alignment is easy, but I had to order new matches.

 

[Halliwax]

you can throw me down for 1

This is an interest thread, pending acquiring more SA matchbooks.

This is an interest thread, pending acquiring more SA matchbooks.

A small advice: Search for wedding matchbooks!

Strangely enough, that's the website I had just placed an order with. It's the only one I could find with the white top and white stem.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Well if you can fix these 2 things, I'll take you a set of 6

 

[Roland]

Well if you can fix these 2 things, I'll take you a set of 6

Those two things and two other ones:

- The correct font for the "PLEASURE PARADIES" text is "Futura" (regular)
- Inside of the matchbook is the text "CLOSE COVER BEFORE STRIKING" - "Futura" font (medium or bold)

Write me, if you need the font files. If all four things are fixed, I'll take six matchbooks.

And if you would offer the "AUTO DETAILING" variant, I would take two of them, too. I would display them next two my Turtle Wax bottle.

Another question: Is your matchbook beige/ivory colored or is it just white? I can't see it from your pictures.

 

[Jintosh]

Yes, white. Color cast of off white is just my camera.

 

[Roland]

Yes, white. Color cast of off white is just my camera.

The screen used matchbooks have a slight yellowish tone.

 

[Halliwax]

oh man !! i would take the auto detailing too!

 

[Jintosh]

The screen used matchbooks have a slight yellowish tone.

Do you have a close up screenshot showing this ?

I just assumed the matchbooks did not use acid free paper and they had yellowed after 30 years.

I can do a few Auto Detailing...but not the one with the mixed text.

No problem. Here are two screen captures of both, the AUTO DETAILING and the PLEASURE PARADISE variants. On the first picture you can see the white stripes of Biff's adidas tracksuit or the white frame of the window behind him. By comparison, the color of the matchbooks is much more yellow. The same on the second picture: On the left side is a white tray.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Yeah I think it's more of a beige colour
