I'd eventually like to do this for every tinted card in the set, once my sets are complete, so that an actual reference exists for one of the most confusing sets ever created. Right now, I have 81/86 green tints, 65/86 blue tints, and 75/86 red tints.
Joba Chamberlain is kind of a weird one. 2 versions of card #139 exist - one is the Babe Ruth base card, and one is the Joba Chamberlain kneeling SP. Joba's base card is #159, and it does not exist in any of the tinted variations. However, tinted versions exist of the SSP Joba #139. Personally, I do not feel that these tinted variations are scarcer than any other tinted cards, but the non-tinted version of #139 is definitely an SSP. They are TOUGH to come by. Half the battle in building this set is that most sellers don't even realize they have a tinted variation, and when they do, it can be difficult to distinguish between a green and a blue tint. Some of these tints are starting to command a lot of cash, especially the Babe Ruth cards #135 through 144. There's currently a Ruth Green tint with a bid at $65!
So I do my best not to overpay for cards, and it has taken me almost 2 years to grab all these Jobas, and I feel like I got each of them at a good price. Having said that, if you wanted to know what $128.36 worth of non-autographed, non-serial numbered 4th year Joba Chamberlain cards looks like, here you go:
Top left - SSP non-tinted card, fine print on back ends with 08
Top right - Green tint, fine print ends in 09
Middle left - Blue tint, fine print ends in 09
Middle right - Red Tint, fine print ends in 09
Bottom - Base card #159, fine print ends in 01
If anyone is wondering if you have a tint of not, all tinted cards are from #110 to #196. Odds are I have an example of it, which can be viewed here individually:

As always, if you think you may have a card I need for this set or any other Heritage set, please shoot me a PM. Thanks for looking at my stupid Joba Chamberlain rainbow.
