Howdy. I was looking at my collection and noticed a complete dearth of purple on the fronts. Why is purple so uncommon? I know it commands a premium on the E94's, probably due to a combination of aesthetics and scarcity.
Please show off any of your cards with purple on the front. It would be greatly appreciated.

A purple-ish Vic Willis. Hard to tell from the scan (crappy scanner) but it's an odd color.

For more, go to the "Portland Beavers Baseball Cards, Postcards, and More" gallery at http://www.sportingoregon.com/ .
^^ yep, very cool! It has the gold borders of a T205, the layout of a Rose Co. postcard, and the inclusion of a mini L1 leather at the bottom. Weird! (but cool) ;)

Cant believe Im the first to post this guy. If you scratch the card you can actually sniff the grape kool-aid!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing everyone!
Does anyone have any guesses why there are so few purple pre-war cards? Was purple ink expensive? Was purple seen as a "girly" color?

Kinda cool, I think
That is a beautiful piece of art. How big is it? Is it part of a set, and if so, what is it called?

MY only purple e94's left! And if I'm not mistaken...of all e94's shown...not 1 duplicate!

I had to wait to respond to this thread as I was in the process of purchasing this card (before the thread started, shockingly)...just got it in the mail on Monday. I think I only have one or two tint variations left to go in order to complete my 1926-29 Klein tint hoard!
