I'm a big Hack Wilson fan and I'm going to visit your site right now!

I did wonder if "artistic license" was prevalent in the illustrator's color palette. I'll take a look at the examples you cite. It does seem unlikely to me that, with having a 1934 Goudey set, this "33" card could be issued that late. Maybe it is just coincidence - or the illustrator had ESP!
