Great pics, gorgeous cards.

So, for the record, which card is it that is actually a Tom Barker Game card, and not a National Game card?

Hi Bob, it is the Score card. As acquired by me circa 1985, it is quite likely, and I would guess, that the deck was issued that way.

Hi, You know that very well could be. Just seems super odd that they would mistakenly (or intentionally) insert a Tom Barker card into a National Game set. I honestly don't know if that is what they once did, or not. Still, a super rare set and item, especially with those Fenway Breweries references. Thank you for sharing, and putting up with a few comments/questions. Did not intend to hijack your thread and sale. Good luck.

Not trying to hi Jack the thread either and I love this set. I bought the complete set from Troy (hi Troy) at the AC National years ago and is one of my favorite buys. Loaded with HOFers and you don’t have to worry about sharp corners with these game cards. Heck, if this set doesn’t sell here, expect an offer from me soon!

Here is the set as I know it.

Thanks for sharing--it's a remarkable grouping. I'm kind of with Bob on the Barker-back card, since there is a known Fenway Brew scoring card that carries a National Game back. I am curious, why are there two Bakers in your set--one with with the FB ad and one without? Are there 54 or 55 cards being offered? In any event, best of luck on the sale.

EDITED TO ADD: Never mind the count, I see you posted scans of 55 cards. I still wonder if the Baker FB card was an extra, header type card that was not supposed to be used in the "game".
