This one was on my hit list for 4 yrs! Thought I'ld never see one! That doesn't mean it didn't come up and I missed it tho. But, still a great old game for the board collector.

This looks like the kind of game a kid could take on a long road trip with the parents and play for hours.

  • That's pretty cool, I didn't realize just how many baseball related board games there were until you started posting all of your great finds.

    Thanx!

    You have no idea how grateful I am for ebay!

    Before ebay, I was lucky to see one board game every year! And then they wanted too much for it!

    You have a pretty cool collection of games , that is an oldie right there , it is really nice condition for it's age too .

    Is there a lot of compitition for bidding on these games ?

    Man I look at these games and I can not help but wonder what the person was like that played them , or who they may have been and stuff like that .

    The stories they could tell if they could speak would be priceless .

    So true Anthony.

    That's the fun in collecting! I think of that all the time - we're in the computer age - these kids had to use most of their imagination when playing with these games.

    Children thought differently about the world - good thing? Not really - just different.

    Kids take their world for granted and think history started the day they were born.

    It's like in an episode of Beavis and Butthead - Beavis asks Butthead: "Hey Butthead - when was TV invented?" Butthead: "there's always been TV buttmunch! Just less channels." image

    Kids - ya gotta lovem!

    Collecting brings out the little kid in all of us!

    Thanx Anthony

    Games that come up on a major auction seem to attract more competition than ebay for some reason.

    I'll keep an eye on it.
