Who was Harry Steinfeldt? was the name of a quiz book that came out from Playboy Press. Along with the book they published a set of baseball cards (about 20). I had both when they came out. Still have some of the cards.

No naked girls in the book or the cards

We listed the set in the Standard Catalog.

There were 12 ballplayers: Frankie Baumholtz, Jim Bouton, Tony Conigliaro, Don Drysdale, Hank Greenberg, Walter Johnson, Billy Loes, Johnny Mize, Lefty O'Doul, Babe Ruth, Johnny Sain and Jim Thorpe.

The set has been listed at $150 NM for years, with the Ruth at $50.

What is the Ruth selling for these days?

That's an odd selection of ballplayers. Who thought Frankie Baumholtz belonged in a group of 12 with Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson?

I paid $6 or $7 for it. Thought it was cool. I like to collect ruth cards mostly from 1921-1935 (live to get some more from earlyer though) but this one was just interesting.

Thanks everyone for the info!
