Quote from Fajo Collection Rules Supplement:
This artifact works on any other artifacts which are “in play” during your own turn. (As a clarification, any card on the table, on the spaceline, just played or just used is “in play.”)
You may not trade Roger Maris for another artifact unless you are able to immediately play that artifact as your own (this does not count as your normal card play). Any traded cards are returned to their owners at the end of the game.
BEHIND THE SCENES:
One of the most famous “leaks” in Decipher history, an early version of this card was seen briefly (and mistakenly) at GenCon in 1996. Its existence was never forgotten and news of it has floated around the internet ever since. Oh, by the way… We considered printing “original bubblegum smell” right on this artifact. However, coming to a tournament with a deck smelling like bubblegum would be a dead giveaway that Roger Maris was part of your strategy! So we decided to include a real stick instead.
