The book that I have from 1989 lists this game $300-$400.

The book, Baseball Games by Mark Cooper published in 1995 lists the game at $600.00 - $1000.00.

In Mark Cooper's book on page 57 is a picture of the game. The description is as follows:

"Lou Gehrig Official Play Ball, 1932. Bagatelle game in a pentagon shape with a shooter as a hitter at home plate. There is a four inch image of Gehrig batting with a facsimile autograph. The box of the game has never been found. Christy Walsh, 18" x 18". From the Cooper collection.
