<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BaseballGames, post: 4123862, member: 7826&quot;]You&#039;re very welcome, Bing, and thank you very much for the kind words!&nbsp; </p><p>American Antiquarian is where we, too, got a lot of our information and catalogue images.&nbsp; Our website&#039;s page of McLoughlin baseball games, of course, covers only that -- there are dozens more baseball boardgames and card games by several other 19th Century publishers, and countless scads of parlor games with other themes by McLoughlin and many other 19th Century game manufacturers.&nbsp; In fact, Pook &amp; Pook very recently auctioned off part of the Bud &amp; Judy Newman collection of antique boardgames, and the offerings were jawdropping (games start with lot 183):&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://pookandpook.com/auction/the-collection-of-bud-judy-newman-new-hope-pennsylvania-12893/lots?p=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://pookandpook.com/auction/the-collection-of-bud-judy-newman-new-hope-pennsylvania-12893/lots?p=1" rel="nofollow">https://pookandpook.com/auction/the-collection-of-bud-judy-newman-new-hope-pennsylvania-12893/lots?p=1</a>&nbsp; </p><p>McLoughlin were hardly alone in taking advantage of the lack of international copyright restrictions -- almost every publisher on both sides of the Big Pond copied successful books (popular novels as well as children&#039;s books) issued by publishers from across the Atlantic.&nbsp; Ethics aside, it would&#039;ve been bad business not to do so...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
