Don, the Blue Back set was the first one produced and the Reds came later. (The blues came in a blue box just as the reds came in a red box). I had a complete blue set and it had all players and actually had a duplicate Howard Ehmke, but that was probably just a production mistake, which might be what happened here with this collectors set. I heard from someone that they had never seen a Uhle before but I did have one in the blue set I had.

I still have around 30 of the blue's (which are MUCH tougher to find than the common red backs). The blues were obviously done first as some data on front changed and in all cases the red set had the updated information.

I initially reported the changes in the text and info on front a few years ago on this forum (and corrected the date of issue) and that is where Bob Lemke and his staff got the information that he states in the set header in the SCD book.

A search for this set on this site should yield the earlier thread with the information I uncovered.
