For Mike - Re: teams present
Quote:
The teams were woefully incomplete. I'm gonna check this against the other game I have. I only found "team header" cards for: AL: Wash. Phil. Chic. Det. St. L NL: Bost. Cinn. Pitt. St. L I'm sure with kids handling these games - little cards would seem to be a casualty of usage and transportation. |

I'm gonna have to check out what I have in my generic version. |

I have only one contribution - on the generic version - the one I picked up did have the 2 "red" boxes that also came with the more attractive "indoor" game. inside generic version: http://photos.imageevent.com/ltsgall...ps0277eca0.jpg Also, I believe Butch from the Game Forum believes that the patent applied for and patent date version can be found in the generic version of the game. I'm gonna let him know of this discussion in case he misses it - the men at the front office have just about the most comprehensive knowledge on any game in general IMO. |
Mike, thanks!
So it turns out I was right..... About being wrong. 😒 I'd definitely like to learn more about both versions and their anomalies. |

Merry Christmas. |
This is great stuff, I plan to make a concentrated effort to finally land a copy this year.
As far as the lineup cards go I have seen several groups of International League cards but no other minor leagues so far. I am assuming the Federal League line ups are scarce. |
1912 Seattle Giants NWL championship player award

Awarded from owner Dan Dugdale (who is in the Old Judge set) to Willard Meikle (who is in the Obak set) upon Seattle winning the 1912 Northwestern League championship. For more - especially early postcards - visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!

Just to chime in on the Major League Indoor Base Ball thing -- and by the way, Mike, again, fantastic pick-up, and thanks for the invite --
Mike himself has covered it pretty well. Yes, the "Indoor" edition does seem to hail from earlier than the "green-box" edition, by perhaps just a year or less. The "green-box" edition is usually seen with the patent date, but a few examples sport the "patents applied for" legend. We've seen dozens of examples of both editions in varying degrees of completeness, but while AL, NL, International League, and Federal League roster strips have shown up, we've never seen any evidence of AA or PCL rosters. We've never seen an example of either edition that was hinged at the scoreboard end, but we too are always learning... The one other thing we'd mention is that a few examples of the "Indoor" edition have a pale beige background around the spinner, while every example we've seen of the "green-box" edition has a pale blue-grey background there. However, as with Mike's game, most of the "Indoor" games have that blue-grey coloring as well. Something to watch out for if one is considering a purchase of "Indoor" -- the "Indoor" box lid can be copied and laser-printed and the fake then inserted over the "green-box" lid (we've seen a couple of weak attempts at it). |
Butch glad you jumped in on this. Have any of you been compiling a season by season list of what years were available?
|
We've seen examples from most years 1913-1926, so we assume they were printed and distributed for every year in that range.
Can't say, though, sorry, whether the minor league strips were made for all of those years. |
I had no idea they went through 1926! Do you assume the basic game was still being sold all of those years?

Wow there have been some amazing pick ups this year. My own pale in comparison. Nonetheless, they all represent items that I have long searched for. The 1941 autographed Satchel Paige was picked up in a trade with another board member. I had always wanted a vintage original Satchel Photo or autograph. To obtain both was a joy. Thanks again Derek! The 1971 NLCS game 1 stub took three years to find and I have never seen another. The same can be said for the 1971 Pirates season pass. It was a thrill to add the Jose Pagan game used 1971 World Series bat to my collection. I have seen a few Oriole versions but this was the first Pirate bat I have encountered. Thankfully scarcity doesn't always equate to desirability which limits my competition and keeps things I want within my price range.

I was lucky to add this tough Detroit Tigers ashtray to my collection.

My best pickup in 2014 was my only pickup in 2014.

1939 Cardinals Road Jersey
Chris,
Wonderful addition, such a classic style and the 1939 Centennial patch really sets off any uniform. I truly love National League road uniforms that would have been worn in Crosley Field. Dave Grob DaveGrob1@aol.com |
Chris,
That flannel is a beauty! Greg |
Wow! I think that '39 version is the best looking of all Cardinals uniforms, with that thick red piping on both the cap and jersey. Really sharp with the patch.

Here's the latest addition to my spline bat collection. It's a store display, made with 5 sections, 31" long, 5" barrel diameter, and 6 1/2 lbs. I have another store display spline bat but do not have pictures of it yet.
