I stand corrected
Your inquiry led me to look for an answer in Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards--required reading for any vintage card collector. He gives a very detailed analysis of the set, and lists the degree of difficulty as follows (to which I obviously defer):
Easiest to toughest.
1. All Brooklyn and New York A.L.
2. New York N.L. (Green paths), Washington (Green Bases), and Detroit (White infield).
3. New York N.L. (Brown paths) and Washington (brown bases).
4. St. Louis A.L. (purple paths) and Pittsburgh (purple bases).
5. St. Louis N.L. (purple paths) and Cleveland (purple bases).
6. St. Louis A.L. (red paths) and Pittsburgh (red bases).
7. Detroit and Boston (Brown infields).
8. Cleveland (yellow bases) and St. Louis N.L. (yellow paths)
9. Detroit and Boston (red infields).
