Default Any one ever seen this football card game ?

But to Rich's original question...

Will have to do some more digging, but the graphic on the card back is the same used on the cards in Tom Hamilton's Football Game - Pigskin (later just Pigskin), which debuted in 1934 and was in production into the late 1950s. The card face is different, however, and Pigskin cards had a white border on the backs. Might be (can't swear to this by any means) that the same graphic was used in Parker Brothers' All American Foot Ball Game (1925), but not sure that game even used cards. Can tell you, though, that the long-popular Rook debuted around 1910, so obviously the football cards are no older than that.
