Description

1990 Baseball Wit is a 108-card set dedicated to and featuring several former Little Leaguers. Baseball Wit was produced by Interpretive Marketing Products of Billings, Montana, issued exclusively as a factory set, and was available primarily in retail and chain outlets.

Most of the older (retired) players in the set are shown in black and white. The card backs typically give three trivia questions with answers following. The object of the game is to collect points by correctly answering any one of the questions on the back of each card or identifying the picture on the front.

The first printing of 10,000 sets had several errors, and the cards were not sequentially-numbered. The second printing corrected these errors and numbered the cards.

The number on the front of the card is used when playing the game and is not to be confused with the card number, which is found on the back of all cards (except for the aforementioned first printing errors).

This set is NOT licensed by Major League Baseball, however, many of the MLB logos have NOT been airbrushed out.

Distribution

Factory sets only.

In the initial run of sets, the cards were not sequentially-numbered. It is believed 10,000 unnumbered sets were produced.
