These cards were distributed as part of a baseball game produced in 1965. The cards each measure 4" by 5 3/8" and have square corners. The card fronts show a small black and white inset photo of the player, his name, position, vital statistics, and the game outcomes associated with that particular player's card. The colors used on the front of the card are a blue border at the top and a yellow background for the game outcomes at the bottom. The game was played by rolling two dice. The outcomes (two through twelve) on the player's card related to the sum of the two dice. The game was noted for slightly inflated offensive production compared to real life. The cards are blank backed. Since the cards are unnumbered, they are listed below in alphabetical order within group. The first 23 cards are Yankees and the next 25 are All-Stars. There were also 18 blank cards included in the set for extra players of your choice. These "Challenge The Yankees" sets were put out in two different years, WG9 1964 and WG10 1965, which are difficult to distinguish. [Collapse]
