The score card has a Tom Barker back. It has Fenway Brewing ad on the front. As acquired by me circa 1985, most probably as originally packaged.
Overall condition is Excellent, with slight toning. Pictures taken with the camera look perhaps whiter than they are, while the scans look more yellowed than they are in reality.
Creases on Rucker, Sweeney, two of the batter cards, and Milan.
Ty Cobb appears on two cards. He is seen on one of the unnamed action cards as a sliding baserunner.
Cobb is not named but it is a picture of him. The card has increased in value over the years but is still not quite as valuable as Cobb’s primary card with a closeup of him and with his name printed on it.
This card has gained quite a bit of traction as one of Cobb’s more affordable cards.
