Anyone Ever Encountered Repro/Fake Old Baseball Board Games?

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Greg & Mike- One question I have had for years is how many team card sets were issued for the game? I have seen several years including Federal League team cards. Also, how long was the player photo edition offered?

Hi Mike

My answer would be based on two games that I own - you should have the AL, NL, FedL and the IntL. I have both 1913 and 1914 cards. The range of production for the generic game was from about 1913 to 1925 or 6? Don't know for the better version - may have been more limited?

But, I would like to defer to the vast knowledge and friendly replies - accompanied by a wealth of information that Butch and the guys at the Baseball Games Forum possess.

Thanks Mike! Did each year's edition come with the rosters for all four leagues possible with of course the Feds only being two years?

I have always considered this the Cadillac for the post 1900 games with the player's edition of course the top of the ladder.

Hi Mike

This is a tough one - again - I would defer to Butch on this one.

My knowledge is personal - two sets - one with a date - 1913 and one sans the date. Both have the same amount of leagues but one has 1913 rosters and the other has 1913 and 1914 players.

I think I heard one could get updates from the company? Not sure on that one.

The one thing we can all agree - if ya got the "player" version of the game?

You've got one of the best games out there!
