Thanks for the link. That was a quicker exercise than I thought. I looked at the Red Backs listed on COMC, as well as other cards shown on PicClick / ebay.

I see that every card seems to have a white and a cream card stock version, with the possible exception of #36 Gus Zernial and #52 Tommy Holmes. Collectors of this set will know that there are two different versions of these two cards, (Gus Zernial Chicago bio or Philadelphia bio, Tommy Holmes Boston bio or Hartford bio).

It seems that you can only find one version of each with white card stock, and the other version of each with cream card stock. I was not able to find the opposite version for each of these two cards. I am hoping some other collectors out there can confirm this, or provide contrary examples. Perhaps this is already known to collectors of this set?
