It's definately interesting.  I wouldn't even know what to begin to offer for it.  You're comparing it to the rarity of Magical Chase, that may be the case but you're not expecting offers close to the price of MC are you?

Im not desperate to sell them.  I could bet that nobody has this.  I may only be one who has this.  Correct me wrong!.  Can you find link or whatever who has or been posted regarding to this matchbook?

What makes this more rarity is..  it does has instruction!.. i make it CIB!

My guess is that these matchbook calculator things were probably common items at print shops that do clicker pens with company logos on them or walk-a-thon t-shirts. Having one with a Duo logo on it probably isn't very common, but one with a Tanfastic or Guido's Pizza is probably super common.

Plus, the logo is ugly. Plus, it doesn't work. Plus, paper safety matches and calculators didn't exist in the 1890s so...I'm not even sure WTF they were even thinking  when they had these made up with Holmes logos on them.

Value: More than a copy of any sports Turbochip, but nowhere near MC league. Not even close. Rarity is one thing, but its nice to have stuff that is actually worth a shit for some other reason as well.

My SERIOUS OFFER: $3, shipped.

SOLD SOLD ALONG WITH DUO SYSTEM THANKS!!!

Here is the photos everyone wanted to see.  I am taking offers.  I tried to google it up and couldnt find any photos or anything related to this.  It might be more rarest compared to Magical Chase because you do see them on ebay few times a year.  This item might comes up once in 5 years or 10 years who knows.  Please pm offers.  SERIOUS OFFERS.. thanks.. P.s.  I am not desperate to sell but will sell for a right amount.  It powers up like new.  I had attempted to press some numbers buttons.. some wouldnt respond but some respond.  I do not see why some buttons doesnt work.  I would say ASIS!  Thanks
