1906 Fan Craze template

A somewhat obscure set, but I was looking for some 1906 cards, and was intrigued by this. Actually more a set of game cards than actual baseball cards. Sort of the spiritual grandpappy of 1951 Topps. Here's an article about them:

I used to play one of the table top baseball games when I was younger. Had a lot of fun with it. I'm guessing that was the first baseball table game?

Hey, 70s.

If you don't mind I did a little tweak for you and attached the files here. Next update these will be in the compiled set (1905 season)

Basically, it should now do blue background for American League and red for the National League.

I warn you though I haven't tested it but it should work. Let me know!

Thanks! I thought about doing that myself, but since I was just using them for my fictional league, skipped that step. Thanks for adding a bit more authenticity!

One of the first, although there were a few as far back as the late 1800s.
