This is by far my favorite 1930s set. I have built the set 2 times and have unfortunately sold and traded away both sets, regrettably. The cards are printed on a thin paper stock and are tinted black and white photos. I do agree the artist did exaggerate the blush on the checks. I highly recommend anyone to build this set. In reasonable VG-EX condition the set can be put together for under $2000. There are some cards that are much more difficult to find in any grade than others. I'm not sure why.

Toughest Cards
Honus Wagner
Cubs Team Card
Red Ruffing, very tough
Connie Mack and Grove
Bill Dickey
O.Bejma/R.Hemsley

The Dimaggio and Greenburg are the keys to the set but are not tough to find. At the last National I saw at least 5 Dimaggios and Greenburgs. But I didn't see any Honus Wagners or Mack/Grove. My personal favorite is the Ki Ki Cuyler. Good Luck to anyone building the set.
