Gilbert MainesAs I see this, cmoking, there are four main duotone sets which were issued around 1930. These are:
1929 Leader Novelty
1931 w-517
1933 Uncle Jacks
1934 Batter Up
All of these sets have cards which are issued in multiple duotone colors. There are reasons to prefer each of these sets, however the w517s and Batter Ups are most common, although specific players in those sets can be difficult.
Last time I checked the Leader Novelty and Uncle Jack cards ran about $300 each, w517s and Batter Up <$100. Admittedly, I stay more on top of the more common set prices, because they are really more in my league; but I did not realize how far out of my league the UJ set has become.
Oh it takes a special card to wrench $600 out of me. And a 1933 Chuck Klein just ain't that special (considering all of the other 30s Klein options which exist).
So there you have it. What can you tell me about UJs?
