I'd definitely like to learn more about both versions and their anomalies.

Now that's funny!

Merry Christmas.

This is great stuff, I plan to make a concentrated effort to finally land a copy this year.

As far as the lineup cards go I have seen several groups of International League cards but no other minor leagues so far. I am assuming the Federal League line ups are scarce.

Awarded from owner Dan Dugdale (who is in the Old Judge set) to Willard Meikle (who is in the Obak set) upon Seattle winning the 1912 Northwestern League championship. For more - especially early postcards - visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!

Just to chime in on the Major League Indoor Base Ball thing -- and by the way, Mike, again, fantastic pick-up, and thanks for the invite --
Mike himself has covered it pretty well. Yes, the "Indoor" edition does seem to hail from earlier than the "green-box" edition, by perhaps
just a year or less. The "green-box" edition is usually seen with the patent date, but a few examples sport the "patents applied for" legend.
We've seen dozens of examples of both editions in varying degrees of completeness, but while AL, NL, International League,
and Federal League roster strips have shown up, we've never seen any evidence of AA or PCL rosters.
We've never seen an example of either edition that was hinged at the scoreboard end, but we too are always learning...

The one other thing we'd mention is that a few examples of the "Indoor" edition have a pale beige background around the spinner,
while every example we've seen of the "green-box" edition has a pale blue-grey background there. However, as with Mike's game,
most of the "Indoor" games have that blue-grey coloring as well. Something to watch out for if one is considering a purchase of "Indoor" --
the "Indoor" box lid can be copied and laser-printed and the fake then inserted over the "green-box" lid (we've seen a couple of
weak attempts at it).

Butch glad you jumped in on this. Have any of you been compiling a season by season list of what years were available?

[Butch7999]

We've seen examples from most years 1913-1926, so we assume they were printed and distributed for every year in that range.
Can't say, though, sorry, whether the minor league strips were made for all of those years.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

I had no idea they went through 1926! Do you assume the basic game was still being sold all of those years?

My best pickup in 2014 was my only pickup in 2014.

Chris,

Wonderful addition, such a classic style and the 1939 Centennial patch really sets off any uniform. I truly love National League road uniforms that would have been worn in Crosley Field.

Seems like every other team has the CITY name on their road uniforms e.g. GIANTS at home, SAN FRANCISCO on road. Who else put the team name on the road uni's?
