After setting my sights on completing this vintage set, I finally broke down and purchased the last three I needed as trading for them was fruitless - I had nothing to match for them in my traders. All were reasonably priced through vendors at Sportlots and Ebay, but I had to exceed my self-imposed $20.00 limit on individual cards for the Mantle ($25.02 w/o shipping).

Very nice! Any idea if there were actually rules for the game?

I've never found anything along the lines of Cadaco, APBA, or even Classic. It seems that one would simply draw a card until 3 outs were made.

Instructions were on the wrapper. Check Packaging.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Congrats! I need the Mantle, Clemente, and Aaron to finish my set, as well as 2 Tigers for my Tiger Collection.

Congrats I finished my set of these a few years ago. Still have to gather them together from whatever boxes or stacks they are hiding in currently.
Topps did a similar football game in 1971 that I only have a little less than half of.

Congrats on finishing the set. I am down to one card, but need to go through my set to add a couple upgrades.
