1934-36 Batter Up

[brianp-beme]

Batter-Up cards are as underappreciated as Eddie Collins is as a top tier Hall of Famer. Here are a couple of threads that detail what Net54 was able to pin down 4 years ago about the distribution of colors and possible sheet size.

The first thread:

The follow up thread:

It was neat seeing how the color and sheet size theory developed in these threads, something that I had never seen discussed before.

Very Undervalued & unique historic issue, love those cards

Does anyone know why the Batter Up premiums are so incredibly rare?

Whatever had to be sent in to get them must have been a bit difficult or not well publicized. I think I have seen an ad that said how to get them but don't remember a lot about it. Here is a premium I used to own...with a regular card too.,

Judson, thanks for your post and your additional comments about the R318 Batter Up set.

I have updated the eNewsletter article to clarify that the red and green cards are only found for cards numbered 1-40 in the Low Number subset.

A link from the article has also been added that links to a Set Profile along with a complete Checklist and Gallery for all six known Batter Up Premiums. As you know, these Premiums are exceedingly rare. The Premium Profile can be viewed at:

Hope that you like the new and significantly expanded eNewsletter format. For those who have not yet seen it, it is eNewsletter #168 at:

I will also take this opportunity for Brett and myself to wish all members of Net54 a Happy Holiday Season and Prosperous 2019.

One of my nicest pre-war (WWII) signed cards.
