Most underrated set of the 1930s IMHO.

I'm not convinced cards 41-80 can be found in green or red. Would be interested in being proved wrong but even if they are, they are very rare.

Nice observation Judson...all of my red and green Batter-Ups are from #1-40. I have examples of all of the colors for #'s 41-80 except for red and green. Definitely makes it appear like the set, at least the first 80 cards, was issued in groups of 40.

These were part of a collection I just acquired.

To extrapolate on my previous comment, the higher number cards, which are noticeably shorter, would most likely have been issued in two 56 card groupings, which would account for the 112 additional cards (#'s 81 -192).

Perhaps the first two printings of 40 were 8 across and 5 down on a sheet, while, the second two printings could have been 8 across and 7 down on a sheet (with some of the extra room coming from the shorter heighth of the cards).

Bump to further the conversion
