Nice video. Good to see you were able to use some of the NP pics that I sent you. I should have bought that set on eBAY in 2001 but I was cash-poor in those days :( IIRC a complete game was being sold or $2500.
Thank you for another well researched, informative video. I'm 56 years old and have been playing APBA since 1981. I bought that reprint set and lost it, along with much else, in a fire. Is anyone offering a reprint now? I am looking forward to your replay. Take care. Darryl Whitcomb
Kind of crazy that it took so long for batting average to become a stat. To me, it feels as basic as counting balls and strikes, but I guess there wasn't as much need or interest in that number at the time. People wanted to read about recaps of the games more than individual performances.

Thank you for saving those pics and sending them along! $2,500 is pretty cheap, actually, comparitively speaking...
@@baseballreplayjournal There are so few copies around today that you could probably get 10k for a nice one.
Those cards look like APBA Baseball
That's because APBA was originally based on National Pastime.
