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 ...

I really enjoy all the cards from the depression era. Not to long ago I finished the 34 Goudey set after 10 long years and had a great time putting it together. My nice grandparents were married in 34 and my grandmother made 50 cents a week cleaning houses, I always think of that when I look through the cards and think what a luxury they were for someone at that time. The batter ups really capture the dustbowl era effect with the grimy images and are very cool.
