    Just give me a coupon so I can order it.

    Yup.

    But, I cannot recall the names of the products.

    About 1957 thru 1960.

    Very cool Mark.

    I believe I'm the only board collector on this forum.

    Here's a popular "electric" game from the 40s - 50s. This is the Jim Prentice baseball - same manufacturer as the FB game illustrated.

    What I like most about them is the graphics. Next to video games, these things are pretty archaic.

    I've never picked up the Strat-o-matic games since I don't care for the graphics - and it's more of a statistical game with dice - I believe.

    I'm gonna have to make a web real soon and link all my areas of interest with good scans or photos - since I don't have enough room to display all the different stuff I collect.

    Mike - you're right about SratoMatic having cards and dice. My friends and I played it growing up. We would hold a draft just like a fantasy league would today, had a schedule of games, the works. The game ended up ay Goodwill at some point.

    I remember this one. I had it down to an art.

    Thanks for the note on the SratoMatic. I changed the thread title to be more accurate.

    I've got quite a few ads with sports figures in them stashed away. Here's a couple I've got scanned in Photobucket:

    THun,

    It looks like there's a Carew card on the cover of your game. What year was it issued? Looks like I'm going to have to add that card to my Senators/Twins type collection. Thanks for sharing that pic!

    Hey Mike B.

    To the best of my knowledge this game is from 1984.

    All the cards are from TOPPS with the front photos especially used for this game - the back being the same as the regular topps issue.

    I hope that helps.

    cheers

    Those cards were popular for a while - till people realized how many of these games were manufactured.

    I have one in the original factory seal:

    This sucka hasn't seen daylite, moonlite, flashlite - Isrealite or any other kind of lite! image

    I have quite a few games - I will eventually get around to taking pics of the entire game and any of the interesting boards.

    The oldest game I have is a 1908 Parker Bros Peg Baseball:

    image

    And my favorite one is the Mickey Mantle Baseball Game - circa 50s and it's complete - they're usually missing the Mantle card/and pic - usually sold separately or missing:

    Hey Mike B.

    I went back and looked at the Carew in the set. Unfortunately he is listed as a California Angel. (save you some time)

    I did find this 1986 Kirby Puckett:

    Stone -

    sweet old games !

    Yeah, my Topps baseball has hosted a few World Series games. But I never used the cards. We made cardboard replacement with all the card data.

    Man, I was takin' care of the card even back then !

    cheers

    Thanx Hun

    As I said - what attracts me to the games of the 40s and 50s is the graphics.

    Here's one: Little League Baseball - circa 50s - Standard Toycraft Inc.

    And..."You're Out" Baseball Game, circa 1941 - Corey Games.

    Hey! Thank YOU for letting me know that the set -- and Carew! -- are from '84. Definitely not a Twin then! Any other Twins in the set?? I'd have to guess that Kent Hrbek may have been the only "big" name at the time...

    I had to dig around, but I did find that I have a raw copy of that '86 Fleer LL Puckett (#32 of 44). Thanks again for the heads-up!

    Thanx Mike.

    So here goes: Bob Feller's Big League Baseball - 1959 Saalfied Art Company.

    And, Swat Baseball - 1948 - Milton Bradley:

    Again - I like the graphics more than the game - most are - by our standards - kind of boring since there's no video screen.
