   Liberty Playing Card Company, is a Texas-based company which produces custom-made playing cards. Sometime in the 1990s, the company produced Diamond Baseball Bats playing cards, 1900-1950 - 20th Century's 10 deck PPBB collection for Pretzel Park Baseball Bats Inc. The standard deck of 52 cards came with 2 Jokers, a "Play 21" game instructions card, and a "NHTAHIM" Baseball Bats Inc. card. A total of 56 cards.

 The Play "21" Baseball's Best! card reads: "Dealer give each player 5 cards. Deck is then placed face down on the table. Each player draws a sixth card to keep or discard. Three "4's" and three "3's" is the only 6 card winning combination. Ty Cobb "Duce" is wild. The player drawing this card automatically wins." The opposite side reads"

 "A "Baseball Bat Story" - Original baseball bats were not tapered like those of today. Libs or branches from trees with bark removed served as baseball bats In 1989 "Pretzel Park Baseball Bats" celebrated Professional Baseballs 150th Anniversary by introducing the Original Pretzel Park Baseball Bat Pretzel."

 The "NHTAHIM" card Reads: "Poker Players Or Other Games Use Upper Left Side of Cards Play "Trivia" Answers On Every Card - Baseball Players Major, Minor, Or Rookies Use Upper Right Side Of Cards -Baseball Bats Inc. P.O. Box 82, Pretzel Park, PA. 19444" The opposite side reads: "NHTAHIM" An American Indian Name Meaning - Nothing Happens Till A Hit Is Made"

 Each playing card has a Baseball bat with the players name and a circle in the upper right corner with either the number 3 or 4. These numbers are used for the "21" game. Below the number is the player's batting Ave. for the year listed outside the circle, below right, followed by League, and Team. Along with Hall Of Fame election year at the bottom, these are used as the "Trivia" answers.

 The back of the playing cards Reads: "Diamond" at the top of a baseball diamond, and with the Pretzel Park Baseball Bats Inc. Bat, Ball, and Ump logo, which was copyrighted in 1989. The logo features a baseball with the words; "Nothing Happens Till A Hit Is Made" used for the stitching, and "Baseball" on the sweet-spot. Inside the Bat Reads "Bats" and the Umpire calls "Play Ball" Home plate features the set number of the deck, with "1900" - "1950" on each side.
