My only question is what back's are tougher to find, the 52 GBs or these?

I had similar experience while putting together a 1960 set and then continually upgrading it. Knew about but never found any white backs... at all. I simultaneously collected 52Ts and over the course of the years accumulated 7 or 8 gray backs that were not identified as such by the various sellers; and lots more that were identified as and sold as gray backs. So, my experience suggests that these white backs are significantly scarcer.
