Sunday afternoon getting ready to watch the Pats and this pops up on eBay.  Cords looked black in the pics, but I jumped for $33 delivered.

It came today, cords are gray and it is in wonderful condition. I have not opened it, base is dated 12 55.

So where does Yellow fit on the 500 soft plastic sets in terms of common to tough. I never see yellow, but maybe that's just me. Gray cords with yellow looks great!

1953 colors:

Green
Oxford Gray
Red

1954 colors:
Mahogany Brown
Rose Beige
Yellow
Mediterranean Blue
------------------------------------------------------------------
Black and clear are undated, but both were made in "soft" plastic (Tenite)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of these basic 10 Tenite  colors  I have/had all colors in multiples except:
Oxford gray(0), yellow (1 in very poor condition).

That is how scarce  yellow  is for me. Other collectors have probably had better luck with yellow.
