The one aspect of the WWG cards that hurts them is that the colors on the cards themselves tend yto have a more muted color tone than their (typically) more vibrant Goudey cousins. It is usually pretty obvious when you have them side by side.

I know you said "tend to" but I certainly don't think it's a safe generalization. This was much more colorful than the Goudeys we've had of the same card.

There are certainly exceptions to the rule, 100% true!

That being said, having had nearly both sets (minus Lajoie) in the past you can almost get the point where you can tell by the front if you are holding a Goudey vs WWG after a while just by the color.

The WWG are criminally underpriced imo, great set and much tougher to find.

I love the WWG issue, being in 2 languages adds a unique aspect to the card and maybe inspired kids to pick up French as the cards circulated the US market.
