Batter Up Color Identification and Scarcity

[Archive]

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

This set consists of cards produced in two sizes which exhibit different color characteristics, between the high and low numbers. I neither contend to know the different colors which were issued nor their commonness, but I offer the following guess, based on my experiences to date. What is your guess?

Common to rare:

Low numbers -
pink
grey
brown
blue
red
green
black

High numbers -
black and white
brown
green
blue
black and cream
light blue
black and orange

I do not think that there is really much difference among low numbered cards until green. And every color high numbered card other than black and white appears infrequently, especially the last two.

There may be other colors and some of those shown could be imaginary. And I certainly could have my impression of scarcity skewed. What do you think?
