fkwThe gap between NRMT and VG is much closer
VG cards will bring more than whats listed.
Red, Salmon, Blue-Green, Blue, Green tints will bring a slight premium over the more common B&W
Id say
Commons $150 NRMT, $100 EX, $75 VG
HOFers $250 NRMT, $150 EX, $100 VG
edited to say: I misread your post above, though you were asking about the book value.
As far as year.... I believe they picked 1929 because thats when other sets that use the same pictures were issued..... R316, R316 Large, W554, Leader Novelty Candy were all issued.
O'Doul (above) is shown with Philadelphia (played with them from 1929-30)
