Picked this up at the flea market today. Tried to find it on google but no luck. Can anyone help identify this item for me. Where its from? Year? possible value?
Thanks for any help I can get

Wow that game is pretty cool! That's something you just don't see much anymore, mass merchandising of players via games, toys...etc Now it's all just hats and sneakers.

Not pocket fisherman, but he was/is (Not sure if he's still on them) on boxes of superpretzel frozen pretzels.

I think I paid about $15-20 for one within the last year or so, and it was in much better shape (it looks like the color has faded on yours). I'd say it's a $10 item, but I might be off by a few dollars. It's a cool piece but nothing rare or incredibly expensive.

See the following as a comparison regarding coloring and price:

We've seen the complete game in primo condition occasionally top $200. -- because, Mantle -- but it's a fairly common game,
and with just a modicum of patience, complete games in nice shape can much more often be had for less than $75. Just FYI.

I got a complete game on eBay (for $123) and had a shadow box display made of it. If you get one, make sure it has the photo. Also, the photo should be semi-glossy to glossy on thin photographic paper. I bought one that had a photo copied photo. Got my money back so it ended okay.
