I remember playing Strat O Matic Baseball. My friends and I would order the entire league set. We also played the Football and Basketball versions.
Those cards use to drive me nuts, Homerun 1-19, Fly-out 20. Ii seems I would always pick 20.

Re: What else you collect,beside toy soldiers
Here are the reasons why I missed the OTSN Chicago show this past weekend. The Sunday before the Chicgo show I attended a large artifact auction and successfully acquired the items pictured below. However, in doing so I spent all my $$$ which negated my being able to attend OTSN. The good news is that I am very happy with my new additions to my artifact collection.

Late Adena Culture blade made from Ohio gem stone quality Flint Ridge flint. Early to middle woodland time period 200 BC to 100 AD
Adena or Hopewell Culture cone/hemisphere made from banded green slate. Early to middle woodland time period, 500 BC to 500 AD
Late Adena Culture blade made from Ohio Flint Ridge flint. Early to middle woodland time period 200 BC to 100 AD
and the best of all . . . . Adena Culture Keyhole Gorget made from glacial slate. Early to middle woodland time period 500 BC to 100 AD

Neat stuff Mike. I'm always interested in artifacts. I remember years ago I asked you to post your Indian artifacts and you had quite a collection. Very cool.^&cool

Very nice Louis, I used to play it many years ago. My dad made a cribbage board out of a rifle butt and shell casing for legs...........wonder if he still has it?

Cribbage is one of the best card games. Sadly, I forgot how to play almost every game with cards, except poker, blackjack and rummy. Growing up in the sixties and seventies, I played a lot of cards.

Never played the game, interesting that the meal room on mining and construction sites in Australia is sometimes called the "Crib Room". Usually it's in a rented transportable building that's often called a Donga, for reasons unknown.

When we played crib , we played a version called "Muggans". After you counted your hand , the ooposition could look for points used missed and add them to their score . You sure learned to count carefully

Cribbage is a great game for kids and older people, because you need to think and add points very quickly. It keeps you on your toes.
