Hi again, Alan, thank you for the follow-up! It wasn't too hard for us to get some details on the game,
amply armed with the patent number. Our initial thinking was that what you have there, even in a damaged state and despite the unlovely monospace font seen in the rules and player tabs, required at least some little financial investment for professional printing of the box and board, and so was probably put into at least limited production. But now we're thinking that the lack of any indication of a manufacturer or publisher (thanks again for translating the blurb on the box lid) suggests it might indeed have been a one-off, Fuchs perhaps having invested a few dollars for production of the game as a prototype to show to game manufacturers he hoped would buy the rights to it for mass production. You don't have to be a game collector or specialist per se to drop in at our Baseball Games forum! We, and the rest of the members there, would love to have a look at Big Leaguer and other "unusual" numbers you might have ("unusual" are our personal favorites), and any member of our group would definitely be interested in obtaining Big Leaguer at the right price (no idea off-hand what that might be).
