Notes:

The Challenge the Yankees Board game was sold in 1964, and 1965 only. Each of the two years the game came with 50 Player Preference Cards that measure 4"x 5 3/8". 25 Yankees cards, and 25 All-Star cards. The only way to distinguish the cards between the two years is to compare the stats. The first set, printed in 1964, uses 1963 stats; the second, printed in 1965, uses stats for 1964. Four of the 100 cards are identical for the two years: Yankees Hector Lopez and Tom Metcalf, and All Stars Carl Yastrzemski and Johnny Podres. Every other card differs in some small way, either by player fact, ERA or Batting Average. The checklist has been arranged in alphabetical order by player, followed by the Batting Average, or ERA of the player that appears on the card for that year. 

Differences for 1965 cards where the Player's Batting Average are the same for both years

  • 1965 - Mickey Mantle - All Star Years Listed.
  • 1965 - Hank Aaron - 64 All Star noted.
  • 1965 - Dick Grote - 64 All Star noted.
  • 1965 - Bill Mazeroski - 64 All Star noted.
