Batter Ups
James,
I agree with everything you say about Batter Ups and 30s cards in general. I've never really thought about putting a set together, but I've acquired quite a few over the years. I particularly like the images in the high numbered series and the subtle shades they come in. As for the low numbers, I favor the greens and the true reds (not magentas), which are the toughest to find. Since I'm always on a budget, I don't mind if they're missing their tops. Here are a few of my favorites ...

Speaking of those Batter-Ups, as player collector (Tommy Bridges) I've been wondering about the different colors of that set. Were they released in different ways? Were certain colors short-printed? Who decided purple tinted cards where ahead of the curve? JK. Don't mean to hijack a thread but if someone could enlighten me on the different tinted Play-Balls I would appreciate it.

Batter Ups
Steven,
I've heard that green is the toughest color, but from my experience, it's the cards that are a true red, or at least close to it. Magenta cards are quite common, and I suspect that the purple and red ones are just printing variations of magenta. The black and white and sepia cards seem to be quite common, and the blue ones aren't too hard to find. As for high numbers, I have no idea which shade is tougher, since all the cards are tough. The differences in color among the high numbered cards are subtle, but still distinct. I have 26 high numbered cards, and here is the breakdown: 16 with a slightly gold tint, 2 with a heavy gold-copper tint, 4 with a slight green tint and 4 with a slight blue tint ...
