Having looked through 500 Batter Ups on eBay, and the cards on the Old Cardboard image gallery, there are no green or red cards on either site numbered higher than 40. And, although not scientific, my experience has been that they are the two toughest colors for cards 1-40. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Checked my set and I have no reds or greens above No. 40. The Greenberg I thought was red is probably purple. I see a difference when I compare it to my red R318s. What's funny, though, is that held up to its own scan and to other purples on this thread, it looks like a different hue.
By the way, I have to agree with Orioles1954 that R318 (high numbers anyway) is underrated, at least in terms of ease in completion. It took me about 30 years to finish the set, though it wasn't at the top of my priorities.

My thought is that you're a genius because you saved me s giant head ache from trying to find a red and Green(berg)
