The game is in the eye of Lajoie-der
This thread has been helped me gain a little knowledge about the game cards, especially with Butch7999 information about when these game cards were being produced. 1913 was the only year I have ever seen associated with them, probably because of the copyright date on the instructions. It is also interesting to find out there was a generic player pictured instead on the later runs. Anyone have an example of the generic version?
A multi year run starting in 1913 with Lajoie makes sense. Thanks Butch
I think the game was not universally popular, so it makes sense that a lot of sets of cards ended up not getting abused. My set (a full set purchased from a seller who indicated he found them dumpster diving(!) about 25 years ago), would also lead one to believe that some (definitely not the person who trashed them) found the game interesting, as they have a lot of wear on the sides as well as creases, missing corners, etc.

Reason: added etc., because without it the whole thing is meaningless
