I would love to have this Nolan Ryan 1990 Score promo, notice no stats on last line. This is not my card but it does exist. The only example I have seen in person is the Will Clark.
The game I posted is the more premium version of Major League Base Ball Game - Philadelphia Game Mfg. Co. - c1913-26.
Here's what the generic version looks like - I picked this up a few years ago:
As you can see, the game 'mechanism' has a spinner outcome. They included real teams and names from the 1913 season and then - I believe - one can buy teams/rosters from subsequent years.
In the turn of the century, many game makers were trying to come up with a mechanism that would give "real life" feeling to the game - and - of course - if they could provide real name players? That'd be a added bonus!
Thanks for the info and for sharing. There are a lot of neat old games out there. I recently bought my first - a 1948 "Home Team Baseball Game". It is a very reasonably priced game with a similar spinner-outcome design. I am sure you have seen it or have it already. Being in just a regular board-game type box, it would present much more nicely if I had it mounted inside a wood-framed box.

Very cool game - haven't thought about it in some time - I assume this is it?
Selchow and Righter made the game in 1948 and again in 1964.
They also made a version of Home Team BB Game in 1917/18.
And here's an "indy" version of the game from 1918 by Ben Dickenson which is very similar to the Home Team BB in 1917.

Great card Mark. Great pickup.

What card is that, Ben?
BTW - I seem to remember us having a "successful transaction" a few months back ('77 OPC Hunter PSA 7).
