Here is the 1968 Topps Game boxed set, it is very rare. I think Al R owns one.

I've got far more info on the cards and boxed set than anyone probably needs here:

http://www.thetoppsarchives.com/sear...aseball%20Game

And curious if anyone ever pulled one of these out of a pack originally or even in a break:

I have one too. But someone blacked out the price ball with a permanent marker.

Very likely it was a 10 cent box that was marked out before distribution because Topps eventually thought that price was too cheap, toppcat talks about in his link in post #4.
