"The earlier, lower series cards can be found in colors/hues of black/gray, brown/sepia, red/pinkish, blue, and green. For simplistic purposes, let's call them black, brown, red, blue and green."

I have these three #32-Cronin's. I thought they were blue, pink/red, and purple. Is purple wrong and really a faded red?

Purple is correct...see my post (#17) in this thread.

I always just thought of the red/pinkish as different hues of the same color or so. I guess it may be considered as an extra, separate color, after all. I think someone else said there is a magenta hue.

Here are the six color tints for Lefty Grove #31.

Here are three different tints of Lefty Grove #153. These tints are a lot tougher to distinguish than #31.

Batter-Up confession time...I have always liked the #1 through 80 cards. And not so much the #81 through 192 grouping.

First off, I like the larger size of the lower number cards, as well as the sharp photos, great player selection and all the fun tints.

I have never liked the look of the higher numbers...the photos in general are not as sharp, and the tints used quite often make things grainer and detract instead of enhance the look. And although only slightly smaller than the lower number cards, they just seem inadequate to me. On the plus side there are some fun multi-player cards, and a handful of the bigger names also get a 2nd card.
