Sean- Apba has seasons from 1883, 1901 and 1905-2010. Many are still available from the company just Google Apba Stadium. There are a few really scarce season from the 1920's-40's that were issued in the early to mid-1990s when they were in financial trouble. They seem really strong right now.
Every season plays with any of the games, basic game components are really cheap. There is a Master Game that adds arm strength, speed and some other player attributes but the basic game is just as much fun and really fast. A game can be played in under 15 minutes easy. I loved playing with the deadball era teams, it really added some flesh to my T205s and T206s. In the 1970s I created a cover sheet in one of my mail leagues with the "T" cards of my team. It always drew a great reaction from my opponents.
Strat and Replay are super games too. The only problem I have ever had with Strat is that they seem to sell partial season sets more than complete seasons. When you find them they only have 4 or 5 teams? I like having all the teams and all the players. Replay seems really accurate but takes longer to play.
I don't play much any more (really since the 1970s) but I always have it in the back of my mind that I will someday, maybe when I retire. Hey that is not too far off????
