APBA/Strat-o-matic and the like
 

I remember playing stratomatic baseball and apba as a kid...early role playing games and good fun! I recently acquired a lot of old games...mostly apba(mostly bb,fb, some bowling and golf), some strat o matic games...and a few others from I'd guess from the late 60's-80's. I haven't really sorted through it yet just threw it in a big pile!

I quickly looked on ebay and apparently some of these have value. Is there a resource...or does anyone know relative values or scarce issues or anything about what they may be worth?

Many are brand new...never opened still in original shipping materials. Any help is appreciated.

I started buying strat-o-matic in 1968 and stopped in the mid-1990s. The pre-1971 one-sided cards are the ones that have a higher value, particularly the very (very) limited cards from 1960 and 1961 (or is it 1961 and 1962...hmmm) . I don't have a current grasp of the values of the pre-1971 values, but perhaps others have a better idea.

I did manage to purchase some 1960 or 1961 cards a few years back, and will post scans. If I recall correctly, the first year only had 40 cards of players and was produced in very limited quantities--under 200. However, my memory may be way off on this.

You need to be in touch w/ Butch & his game forum. He will probably see your post, but here is his website:

APBA forum
 

There are a sizable number of APBA enthusiasts who post on the APBA forum.

There is a classifieds section with sellers and buyers for APBA stuff.

They are a friendly group, but some are pretty snippy if you mention S-O-M or other games.

Ha Ha...too funny...thanks for the info guys...I'll get in touch w/Butch!

Thanks for the referral, Fred... still waiting to hear from Peter over at our Forum...
Peter, if you visit us, please provide specifics on which season sets you have...
