1956 Mantle White/Gray Back
I would like to know the difference between the white and gray back.
I have noticed that many of the cards for sale on ebay are marked by PSA as "White Back" and "Gray Back". I have one that is not marked as either by PSA. Below is my card. Thanks |

You've got the WB
It was probably slabbed before PSA began noting the two varieties. There is anecdotal evidence that WBs from #101-180 are somewhat scarcer than GBs, but most collectors won't pay a premium for them.

Yours is white. Here are the two for comparison (no longer mine, sadly):
Edited to add: It's very easy to tell when you have a stack of them. IMO, some whitebacks can look a little dingy, but gray backs never look close to white. Last edited by nolemmings; 05-22-2009 at 10:49 PM. |

The white backs are tougher than the gray backs, but if I remember the ones I used to have correctly, the gray backed ones seemed to have slightly better color to them.
