Back in post #276 of this thread I showed you nine playing cards from my collection. Card games are not the only games that contain playing cards. Today I am showing you nine more cards that are affiliated with games.

1968 Topps Game #2 Mickey Mantle (Ok. So this one is a card game. Cards were obtained in 3rd Series packs of Topps cards or as a complete box set. The cards are shuffled and stacked face down and players take turns drawing from the stack of cards scoring runs until they've acquired three outs. The game is also known as "Batter Up".)
1977 Gamecraft 1933 All-Stars #4 Lou Gehrig (This set of 36 cards are not recognized by Beckett but they depict members of the very first All-Star game in 1933. The cards are used to play a statistical replay board game produced by the Gamecraft Company and there are codes on the back of the cards related to play.)
1984 Milton Bradley #20 Cal Ripken (These cards are used to play a board game produced by game maker Milton Bradley. The game is entitled Championship Baseball and player cards have dice rolls on the back that are used to play the game.)

1987 Classic Update Yellow/Green Backs #113 Barry Bonds (Cards from this set were an update to the 1987 trivia board game produced by Game Time, Ltd. which were sold in toy stores as well as from card dealers.)
1995 Leaf Thomas Akklaim #1 Frank Thomas (This card promotes "Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball" a multi-platform baseball simulation game featuring the likeness and motion captured movements of Thomas released by Acclaim Entertainment.)
1996 Griffey Nintendo #1 Ken Griffey Jr. (This card was inserted in packages of Nintendo's video game, Ken Griffey Jr. Presents: Major League Baseball.)

1997 Strat-O-Matic All-Stars #25 Ken Griffey Jr. (Strat-O-Matic has been around 60 years producing sports-related board games. Cards in this set feature all the players from the 1997 All-Star Game and unlike most Strat-O-Matic cards, these have pictures of the players on them.)
2000 APBA Superstars #13 Tony Gwynn (This card was inserted into the 2000 APBA Superstars board game. The American Professional Baseball Association has been making sports simulation games since the 1930s.)
2005 Upper Deck Flyball #8 Mariano Rivera (I found one of these games in a second hand store and bought it for a couple of bucks just for the cards. It's an interactive baseball game played with a FLY Pentop Computer which is a pen with a computer inside manufactured by LeapFrog Enterprises.)
