FS $12.000 1913 WG5 National Baseball Game Complete EX

Very fun to speculate about. Maybe the original score card with the National Game back suffered the scoring using pins as was recommended 😛. It's all as we purchased it, no changes were made by us. In fact we only recently noticed the Tom Barker back.

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.

I love this set. It is my favorite set of all time. Such great photos of all the stars. Much larger photos than the Polo Grounds set. Wish I could buy it. GLWS.

Taking some sage advice, I think I will grade half a dozen of the stars, and it is a long shot, but I will try to find a score card marked with the Fenway Brewing and the National Game back, to make it a complete set. I've had it for 35 years so a few more won't hurt 👍👍
