A particularly obscure card type the Fenway Breweries/Tom Barker/National Game card was distributed as a promotion for the Fenway brand of beer. While the National Game cards are relatively plentiful the Fenway Breweries stamp is much less so. Only the Home Run Baker card is known with the stamp a red overprint along the right edge of the card. This example does exhibit wear and some age-related discoloration at the edges along with minor edge chipping. More soiling is evident on the reverse with an overall technical grade in the G/VG range. This is a very scarce card one highly sought after by advanced type card collectors.
