Great find on the 1904 Fan Craze game on EBay!!
I guess Mr. Lemke originally saw that the game was first issued in 1904 ... but he never knew that the FIRST edition of the game had GENERIC player cards like the ones on EBay.
Clearly it wasn't until the 1906 Edition of the Fan Craze game that they came out with the American and National League PHOTOGRAPHIC cards for the game.
Hopefully this MISTAKE can be corrected in future editions of Mr. Lemke's book...
because the 1903 E107 set is FAR TOO IMPORTANT for people to believe that the Fan Craze came out right after it in 1904.
The 1903 E107 set is ALL THAT EXISTS between the 1895 Mayos and the 1906 Fan Crazes, so it deserves some "breathing room."
