Trans-fo and more-fo
Thanks Judson...I was thinking of making the color issue part of a new thread. I have reposted my comments here for easier reference.
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. To extrapolate, 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). Thus National Chicle could have dropped the two colors after their first 1-40 sheet run. A side point...I have always been floored how many HOF players are in the first 40 cards (22), compared to how many are found #'s 41-80 (5). National Chicle was certainly stacking the deck with their first run. Brian

All my Batter Ups that are green or red number 40 or lower as well. This partially explains why you see fewer of them. I'm also glad you pointed out the distinction between the pink/magenta cards and those that are red. I'm surprised I've never seen a premium charged for the red and green cards, which seem tougher to find. I'd like to see a population comparison between, for instance, a pink Lefty Grove and a red or green Lefty Grove.
Also, I'm curious about the color varieties in the cards numbered 81 and above. The distinctions ares more subtle, but they definitely exist. Mine have green, blue gold and sepia tints. Are some shades tougher than others or limited to certain cards? Last edited by Chris-Counts; 06-06-2014 at 02:48 PM.

Hi. A friend told me about this thread. I have a Batter Up #60 Morgan in red. I'm attaching a picture.

That appears to be the purple tint. Here is a quote I pulled from Judson's post, which I fully agree with:
"Keep in mind that the pink/purple cards have some variety in the ink, but red cards are truly red". Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 05-15-2022 at 01:53 AM.

A little OT but here are my higher numbers - I gather they would all be considered sepia. I wonder why the 140 is in larger letters? this may have been covered in original post.

Re: Batter Up Color Variations
Only the Hack is a sepia. The rest appear to be blue.
