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 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.

Tobacco Cards

Starting approximately in 1886, sportscards, mostly baseball cards, were often included with tobacco products, for promotional purposes and also because the card reinforced the packaging and protected cigarettes from damage. These sports cards are referred to as tobacco cards in the baseball card hobby. Over the next few years many different companies produced baseball cards. Tobacco cards soon started to disappear as the American Tobacco Company tried to develop a monopoly by buying out other companies.

They were reintroduced in the 1900s, as American Tobacco came under pressure from antitrust action and Turkish competition. The most famous and most expensive, baseball card is the rare T206 Honus Wagner. The card exists in very limited quantities compared to others of its type because Wagner forced the card to be removed from printing. It is widely (and incorrectly) believed that Wagner did so because he refused to promote tobacco, but the true explanation lies in a dispute over compensation.

Soon other companies also began producing baseball and football cards. Sports magazines such as The Sporting News were early entries to the market. Candy manufacturers soon joined the fray and reflected a shift toward a younger target audience for cards. Caramel companies were particularly active and baseball cards were one of the first prizes to be included in Cracker Jacks. World War I soon suppressed baseball card production.
