The original cards from this set are now 110 years old. Putting together a complete set can easily run multiple hundreds, even thousands of dollars - even in barely passable condition. This complete reprint set is nice Excellent/Near-Mint or better. This card set served a dual purpose: Provide an indoor baseball card game while showing fans photos of their favorites. Forty-three (43) cards pictured identified Deadball Era major leaguers while another 9 feature unidentified athletes in Action. Two more cards explain How-to-Play the game. The set includes many players now enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame as well as some who arguably belong there as well. Card size is standard (2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches) with machine rounded corners (sometimes not as accurately as one would wish). Backs of the cards (except the rules and how-to-play cards) carry a common design in deep burgundy with The National BASE BALL Game design. The 43 player cards are in brownish (sepia). Enterprising collectors believe they can identify at least one of the Action cards: "Batter ~ Base Hit - ~ Out" appears to be Ty Cobb sliding.
