Only the Harrington's Smith is the "green" one. Many have speculated it is because that was the chase card but I have my doubts. Also, we know from the backs of some of these "ice cream sets" that Ruth was in fact the premium card as he got you free ice cream. I'm with you on the E121 Whitted Brooklyn--that card is pretty tough (as far as E121 Series of 120 cards are concerned), I'd love to upgrade mine but I may have to wait a while.

I am not positive about Smith, BUT ...

*There have been 435 Yuengling's cards graded by PSA to date, an average of 7.25 for each of the 60 cards in the set.

*At least two examples of every subject except Smith have been graded, with as many as 18 examples of some commons having been graded.

*The pop on Smith is ... ZERO.

While these pop data don't by any means conclusively prove Smith was a chase card, they are suggestive. At the very least, Smith seems to be considerably more difficult than the rest.

EDITED TO ADD: In the PSA pop reports, Smith doesn't seem as difficult with Tharp's--just Harrington's and Yuengling's. (And in the interest of full disclosure I have never owned a Smith with any of these three backs.)

I'd hate to know that my grandfather traded off a Babe Ruth card for some ice cream...
