Selchow & Righter, a top game maker, crafted many of these sets, boosting their popularity. Collectors especially treasure vintage Scrabble editions from that era for their nostalgic flair and distinct designs. The Deluxe versions stand out with fancier materials and packaging, making them a real prize. Plus, the Selchow & Righter name adds an extra dash of collectible magic to these classic games.
