1969 Milton Bradley
Baseball Game & Cards


In 1969, Milton Bradley joined APBA and Strat-o-matic and issued their first baseball card board game, then again in 1970 and 1972.

The 1969 (and 1972) baseball games came with several perforated sheets containing a total of (296) unnumbered 2x3 inch cards. The cards were very plain, with a black & white player portrait on front and red and black game outcomes on back. Since the game wasn't sanctioned by Major League Baseball, team logos were removed making the set even duller. And if it wasn't boring enough, each team had a header card with no photo. Interestingly, a MLB Players logo is prominent on the game's scoreboard but they did not endorse the game ???
1969 Milton Bradley Baseball board game Luckily the set had it's share of star players like Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron & a REGGIE JACKSON ROOKIE !!!

1969 and 1972 Milton Bradley cards are almost exactly the same.
EXCEPT:
The 1969's red '1's do not have a base
The 1972's red '1's DO have a base.

The following cards did NOT have any red '1's but are 1969's: Agee, Alvis, Braves(Pinch Hitter), Orioles(2nd Base), Cepeda, Haller, Horton(Willie), Howard(Frank), Mazeroski, Mincher, Morton-was NOT in 1972 set, Pepitone, Perez, San Diego Padres(SS).

There are some dice roll differences between the 1969 and 1972 sets.

Baseball card collecting terms (part C)

Cabinet Card Were oversized trading cards featuring paintings issued mostly 1910-1915.

Card Show is a gathering of dealers & collectors looking to buy/sell/trade sports cards and memorabilia.

Card Stock is the material a card is printed on. Usually paper-based, today companies play with the card stock and sometimes it appears to be wood or leather or see-thru acrylic ...

Cello Pack is a card pack whose wrapper is see-thru plastic. Usually the top & bottom cards are seen. Unopened cello packs showing major stars and rookies sell for heavy premiums.

Centering is the balance of the borders: top/bottom & left/right. On perfectly-centered cards, top/bottom borders match as do the left/right borders. Centering is presented as a set of numbers & directions and often included with the grade. Perfectly-centered is "50/50 t/b" AND "50/50 l/r". As centering gets worse, one number increases and the other decreases. For example: 90/10 t/b is considered extremely off-center top to bottom. The numbers add up to 100 (50/50, 60/40, 90/10 ...).

Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) A document used to verify legitimacy of a collectible. NOTE: Keep in mind that COA's are easier to fake then autographs.

Common A card of a non-star player is considered a "Common" as opposed to cards of a star players or specialty/subset cards such as league leaders, teams cards, World Series cards...

Condition (Grade) Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Crease Defect usually caused by bending the card. Hard to see, or not, a crease lowers the card's grade (VG or lower) and greatly diminishes it's value.
