Default The joy of Lajoie

Not necessarily informative, but a cool story. A couple years ago I picked up a complete set of 50 of the Red Lajoie Game cards along with the playing board. It arrived in a non-original but vintage box, and the seller (most likely a non-collector) left a note that he found these cards around 20-25 years ago while "dumpster diving".

I imagine a lot of us (myself included) have actually dreamt of finding some vintage cards in a similiar fashion. Definitely the fact that all fifty cards feature the same player has driven up its availability and diminished its price. It is one heck of a cool Lajoie batting photo, though.

As everyone has said, supply and demand. Still, I like the pose (esp in blue) and for anyone putting together a HOF collection on a budget, these cards are one heck of a great option.

Even then, $13 is a great price for any example.
