-
"Both started amateur gathering interesting match covers during their respective youthful stints of living in New York City. A few years later, they began documenting collections like their own in their Match of the Day column." ⇨
-
"We're collecting matches that represent our zeitgeist, so that they're more reflective of the restaurants that we patronize, the brands that we love." ⇨
