Trying to understand the M116 Sporting Life Set a little better here.

Does anyone have a master list for every player / front color variation?

I used TCDB as a starting point, but trying to determine what players all have blue/green background vs pastel vs the white/gray front.

Some of the grading companies labeling confuses me as a "Blue Back" to me but the card seems like a pastel in some cases. Do you know why that is the case?

Here is what I came up for hall of famers with based on TCDB:

Solid Blue Background:
Frank Chance
Chief Bender

Blue/Green Background:
Roger Bresnahan
Mordecai Brown
Ty Cobb
Eddie Collins
Sam Crawford
Hughie Jennings
Nap Lajoie
Christy Mathewson
Honus Wagner

Pastel Background:
Frank Baker
Roger Bresnahan
Chief Bender
Buster Brown
Frank Chance
Fred Clarke
Eddie Collins
Sam Crawford
Miller Huggins
Hughie Jennings
Nap Lajoie
Christy Mathewson
Eddie Plank
Joe Tinker
Honus Wagner
Vic Willis
Cy Young

Gray/White Background:
Chief Bender
Frank Baker
Mordecai Brown
Frank Chance
Hugh Duffy
Johnny Evers
Elmer Flick
Clark Griffith
Harry Hooper
Walter Johnson
Addie Joss
Connie Mack
John McGraw
Tris Speaker
Rube Waddell
Bobby Wallace
Ed Walsh

Not my card, but the Cy Young is a good representation on what confuses me for the front color labeling. This to me looks pastel, but is labeled "Blue"

Would also love to see anyone show off their M116's. Looks like it's been a while since that's been done...!
