Default 1952 Topps Question:

I've been told that tan or cream-color backs for #'s 131-190 may be worth more than the gray ones. Could anyone enlighten me on this?

Thanks in advance,
Robbie

News to me but I'll wait for more knowledgeable people to reply before I say I think it's not true.

For the 131-190 series they were made with the cream color backs. The gray backs are very difficult to find and sell for hundreds each for the commons.

I believe Grey backs are also considered the Canadian version? Yes, they are rare and do sell well. I have only found 2 out of hundreds of 52's I have acquired over the years. 1954 Topps has a similar rare back color version.

They sell for much more than their cream counterparts. I found 16 of these last year and had them graded, more for authenticity (and ability for resale) than just for grading them. I ended up with a couple that had 'none higher' grades and have sold a few since getting them graded. I also found a couple 1954 Topps (1-50) gray backs early this year, but both had writing on the back. Finding either require diligence and luck.

From what I understand, the Reiser (#189) is the toughest to find for some reason.
