Variations of the 1929 R315's...

The 1929 R315's come in four style variations (Types A, B, C and D) and at least two color variations (white and yellow stock).

Does anyone know if every card in the set can be found in every different style and color variation?

I am particularly interested to know whether or not the Lefty Grove card appears in all four style variations and both color variations. I have seen the Grove card on white stock in Types A and B, but I have not seen a yellow or the Type C or D variation.

Thanks!

Brad

I could be wrong when it comes to this set, but I was under the impression that although there are different front types described, there are actually only 2 REAL types. By this I mean there are 46 different players in the R315 set (40 cards come with name/team in box on bottom portion of photo, and 6 cards with their names not in a box). Therefore if you have all 40 Type A cards plus the 6 type C cards that constitutes a real "set" of 46 cards, likewise if you have all 40 type B cards and all 6 type D cards that would also constitute a true set. So, really there are 2 versions of this set Those with the text below the photo portion (B & D), and those without (A & C). This is what I understood, but may be incorrect.

The six guys that come as only type C or D are Cissell, Clancy, Hendricks, Jolley, Reynolds, and Shires.
