R318 Batter Up Premiums / R312 Colored Photos

[Chris-Counts]

Since the Batter-Up set is essentially two very distinct series — a 1934 series and a 1936 series — can anybody tell me if the second series wrapper is any different from the much more common first series wrapper? What does the 1936 series wrapper say about premiums? The rare premiums of Foxx and Waner are clearly using images from the 1934 series. Also, didn't fine pens come out in 1936? How could the wrappers in 1934 be referring to Fine Pens when they weren't issued until two years later?

I was of the belief that the wrapper offering the premiums was the high number series issued later while the other wrapper not mentioning them was for the earlier low number cards. That said, I've never researched the dates for the cards so couldn't tell you if that's accurate. These are the two wrappers.
