Sorry I didn't comment on this thread earlier, but in my experience with them, it is the Blue Backgrounds that have always (AND STILL) given me the most trouble. I rarely see blues come up , and when they do, they are usually in poorer condition. It's funny how different colors seem to be more difficult to different people collecting them. I will say that finding them is getting increasingly difficult no matter what background/player you are looking for. Don't let that large lot of them in Goodwin fool you. These lots don't come up for sale like this too often. I can't remember the last time I saw more than a few come up for sale individually until last night. Legendary had a near set about 5 months back, but you had to fork out $10 Grand to get it, just to get the few player/color combinations that you needed, which wasn't happening on my budget. Memory Lane also recently sold a complete set for over $13 grand.
Of course the Matty, Cobb, Wagner, Young, and Mack are going to be really expensive to get, but they are somewhat easier to find (Except for the Mack which is very difficult, except for Green Background) But, it has been my experience that the toughest 3 Hall of Famers to find (in any color) are in this order: Lajoie, Jennings, and Mack. Easiest for me have been McGraw, Chance, and Evers. Toughest 3 Commons in my opinion are: Coombs, Bridwell, and Dahlen. Easiest 2 are Mullin & Dooin. I will echo others in saying that the Commons are tougher to find for sale. Commons are certainly easier to purchase because they are substantually cheaper, but harder to find for sale than the Hall of Famers.
For example: I am still in need of 14 cards for the Master Set: 6 Blues,
3 Greens, 2 Oranges, and 3 Reds. 7 Commons and 7 Hall of Famers.
