Thanks Frank. I appreciate the response but I’m really looking for something that would grade a bit higher.

Hi Frank I would like to see the card and maybe pick it up if it is for sale, Larry

Well they ended up sideways... anyway, I think you can notice that there is a roughing of the surface of the top half of the card, both front and back. It reminds me of the impressions in a newspaper after it had been driven over by a car. I got this card from Lew Lipset in the early 90s. Sorry about the delay in posting, it took me a while to find it.

Hi Fran, thanks for the post but I found one already. You might contact Larry, sounds like he was interested.

The National Game Alexander has the bonus of being distributed before the Tom Barker cards, giving it extra 'rookieness'.
