It has been suggested that the cost of producing their color set was excessive enough to force Bowman to cut back by issuing this series without color, though in all other respects the cards the cards from both sets were equal. Overall, these cards are thought to be more difficult to locate than their color counterparts. The key to this issue is Casey Stengel.
