I have handled a few of these, but they are extremely tough to come by. I think for $500 you did pretty well. Hubbell is much more desirable than your average HOFer. Most people are content with only owning one example from this set. I have always been intrigued by the generic bodies with the head of the actual player incorporated into the design. They date from 1934-35, and there is a wrapper or two that have been found from the Dietz Gum Co. A dealer even found a game board from the set in an antique shop-it is advertised on the wrapper.

There is a great article on the set in one of the VCBC back issues. Can't remember what issue it was in.
