One of my main focus areas is baseball board games - and skill games are part of it.
I picked this one up last week - and I'm amazed what the difference a week makes.
I saw one in Yee's auction - saved it - but found it out of my price range almost immediately - game collectors just won't pay big bucks for these.
It's probably from the late 30s - 40s and the one I picked up is in nice shape!
I paid $46 for this one - the one in Yee's auction went for a whopping $186! I'm guessing two guys wanted it really bad - not sure why otherwise - I'm sure the allusion to "Babe" may have been the reason? Sure was a sneaky way to evoke interest in a toy without paying a penny to Ruth? If this game actually said "Babe" on it? Who knows what it would've brought in Yee's auction.
