Any discussion on the red and green lettering? Was red for the AL players and green for the NL players?

No, I believe each player had cards in red and green tint. (At least I know this was true for Ruth.)

I've owned a few over the last 12 years. Too rich for my blood though. Never did own a Ruth, so that's what kind of make me give up on them awhile back. I personally really like them though. I know I'm in the minority on that, but they are one of the few '20s cards that I actually like.

Thanks Leon and Jon, that is eight of the ten shown (or at least linked to the image).. Still looking for Chance and the other Meusel (Bob, who is really Emil, but the pictures are switched). Jon, did I get that right about you in my first post? Were you the one that got some of these cards from a guy that got them as a kid at the Albany fair? And Leon, thanks for posting that, which brings up another question, why do these not have the copyright symbol like that Judge's card you posted, Leon? Anyone know? Was the Judge's card the same exact size as these, like they were printed by the same company? Anyway, some things we just may never know. Anyone got the Chance or the other Meusel? I know Bob Meusel had a card sell in the same PWCC auction I got the Emil from. I couldn't get both (and Pete, I really only wanted the one, though I wouldn't mind finding the Ruth).

I have the green Ruth, purchased in 2007 (sorry, no scanner), in technically poor condition, but with significantly better eye appeal.

Best wishes,
