Default Anyone into matchbox collecting?

Stumbled upon what appears to be two albums of collectable matches, in great condition. Does anyone here collect them or have any idea what they're worth?

I have collected since I was a young toddler. I have hundred's, of which only a few are in presentable condition since my brother doesn't drive them on the ground he plays destruction derby, lol. Now i've moved on to Biante, but still love matchbox/hot wheels. I'm always attracted to the matchbox aisle at the shops...

From the post above I would assume he is talking about actual matches (used to light a durry/chunza/chig/rauchen/lunger/ciggy/gaffer/lung lolly etc) and not the little cars.

I think this because I've never seen an album of Matchbox cars, and he states "matches" as well.

But I could be wrong!
