BiographyThomas William Lawson "saved up his money and later invented a card game with a base ball theme. Lawson received a patent on September 16, 1884 and sold packs for 50¢ each at newsstands and stationery stores. Six different versions were created: 3 common blue-backed sets, 1 maroon-backed set with gold edges and 2 rare games made for companies in Boston."--http://www.19cbaseball.com/perfect-game-baseball-cards.html
