Default Diamond Star blue back question
Been doing some research on the 1934-36 Diamond Star set and the various back colors. I own a 1935 Kiki Cuyler #31 in blue back while all of the checklists I’ve seen are green back. Any thoughts or help?

The Trading Card Database tcdb.com has it listed as the 1935 Blue Back with him on the Reds on the last line of bio on back. The 1934 Green Back has him with the Cubs on the last line of bio on the back.

Check each Diamond Stars bio area on the back for previous year's stats (batting average, in most cases) and add one to get that card's release year within the 1934-46 window. The Cuyler cards shown above are from 1935 and 1936.

Is there any significant difference in value between the 1935 blue and green back? Blue seems much harder. It doesn’t appear PSA recognizes the difference

When I was collecting the set, some of the backs were definitely harder to find, but in general, I don't remember anyone pricing them significantly differently because of the back.
