The finest known specimen of one of the great player games in history. Because of the nature of its construction with such broad design and thin narrow sides (measures 22x.25x16") this game is ALWAYS found flattened, incomplete and badly broken. This is the best one in the world, and comes from the collection of gamesman Mark Cooper (the finest ever collection of baseball games); he must have turned down many of these to get to this near-perfect specimen. As good inside as out.
