I acknowledge that scans can be tricky but would emphasize the larger point. I believe the TPGs are inadvertently polluting the population by mislabeling dingy white backs. Not to mention sellers...

The difference is very obvious when cards are side-by-side. Unfortunately, most cards being offered on Ebay as 54T grays are not. I started contacting some of the sellers but got a lot of pushback....

Great question, Al. And perhaps not as obvious as it seems.

It is clear (to me) that Topps front-loaded the 1954 set. While the three most expensive cards today are post-#50, in 1953/4 Aaron,...

1954 Topps Canadian Gray Backs

Does anyone know if ONLY the first 50 cards in this set were printed in Canada and on gray-back stock? In other words, if a wax pack says "printed in Canada" will it contain ONLY cards from the...

I don't believe our data are in conflict. I'm suggesting that, on average, there is 1 white front for every 6 gray fronts (1 in 7 total). If there are less of 171-190 (which I believe), there are...

Going back to my original question: Has anyone seen a PSA graded card with "Yellow Tiger" on the flip? They list one (3.5) in their pop report.

The best advice I ever received was to buy the expensive cards early, if not first. There are many “near sets” out there that will never be completed.

Hard to do, but once done, the rest is a...

Great question! The answer appears to be "yes." The ratio of GB/WF to all GB for the first 40 cards is 11.8%. The same ratio for the last 20 cards is 11.2% (well within the accuracy of the data)....
