Me and my friends collected, traded and also played a game with stone by staking match box covers. The idea is everyone stakes match box covers in a small circle drawn on an open ground. Everyone then takes turn to throw stone at the pile. Whichever match cover that’s dislodged out of the circle belongs to the thrower. Also played it with cigarette packet covers.

Fun times

I remember doing that too as an 90s kid. Also, collected 100s of maha-lacto wrappers for gifts.

Makes sense actually — if everything is identical by design, the only thing that makes one copy different from another is the mistake. Rarity has to come from somewhere.

Ohh I remember this, collecting and trading. Got a earful from mother for going near garbage in search of these, that was the end of it.
