Michael FlahertyI pulled out my batter-ups to find out what percent of each color I had.
For the low numbers I came up with:
Blue: 24
Pink: 21
Brown: 16
Grey: 10
Red: 8
Green: 8
Black: 8
It's not a very large sample size so make of it what you will.
I would contend that grey and black could be consolidated into one category based on the fact that both blue and pink have wide ranges of variation.
I have fewer high numbers, about 70, but I found it too difficult to categorize them. I did not determine any of them to be black and orange so I would love to see an example of one if someone can post a scan.
I'm surprised that there is not more hobby love for this set. The fact that the cards were intended to be folded over makes it incredible to me that, 75 years later, uncreased examples can still be obtained at reasonable prices.
