I can attest to the covers. I saw one in a local collection here in the NW about 15 years ago. The collector knew I liked oddball items and offered it to me for 100.00. I should have bought it but passed. If I reall correctly it was roughly the size and shape of the plasitc bags used by dry cleaners today. It was made of paper and on the front it had blue drawings of all of the players depicted in the set.
