Mike, thanks very, very much for those extremely kind words!
Shamefully, we must admit that no 1908-1924 edition of Peg Base Ball is part of our own personal collections. And undoubtedly we've missed several relatively recent on-line sales and auctions of the game as well. We monitored sales and auctions rather obsessively, recording literally tens of thousands of transactions for baseball games of every variety, from the early part of this expiring decade until 2007. The loss of a significant contingent of our friends and families in 2007 and 2008 severely curtailed our efforts in that vein and we've tracked transactions only sporadically since then. Hopefully we'll be back up to speed on that later this year...
In any event, our records show the yellow-border edition appearing about half again as often as the navy-border edition, with the red and grey editions showing up in total less than 10% as often as the yellow and navy combined. There's also another subtle graphic variation involving the Parker Brothers logo on the box, but that's almost too recherche even for us!
