The 4th story in the Black Widowers case files, Isaac Asimov wrote it for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (December 1972 issue), under the title of "The Matchbook Collector".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rubin is host tonight, and his guest is Ronald Klein, one of his publishers. The discussion during dinner turns to collectables and how Mr Klein had encountered a man who collected matchbooks. This immediately draws the attention of Trumbull, and he tells the club about his suspicion that Ottiwell is sending messages through matchbooks. Of course, none of them can deduce the method until Henry is consulted.This story has been reprinted three times; Tales of the Black Widowers (1974), Ellery Queens Mystery Magazine Anthology (Spring/Summer 1976), and Ellery Queens Giants Of Mystery (1976).

Conversational Troping: The members are sidetracked by discussing writing tropes like Exact Words and First-Person Perspective. This annoys Trumbull who has recognized a mystery that he wants help solving.

Everybody Smokes: Published in 1972, it was still common for restaurants to have matchbooks and ashtrays on every table, which facilitates matchbook collectors.

Exact Words: Conversational Troping, when Mr Kline mentions his inability to remember precisely what it was Ottiwell had said to him the other day. Halsted describes it as unrealistic in a First-Person Perspective.
