You very well could be right, and someone later on added the Score Card from the related Tom Barker set to be able to say they were selling a complete set then. If nothing else, this dialogue is hopefully getting more eyes on your item, and letting people know how rare and valuable it actually may be. As I mentioned earlier, I've never seen one of the Fenway Breweries game boxes before. And this set includes one of the few Joe Jackson playing days cards that were ever issued, along with cards of many of the other star/HOF players from back in the day. So, you also should get interest from not just baseball card collectors, but from baseball and other sports related game collectors as well. Early baseball and baseball related games and items is another collecting niche, that in this case overlaps the card collecting hobby. Once again, a great item and set, with some true rarity as a Fenway Breweries related item.
