Is there any positive proof that these cards were printed in Canada? If they were, why doesn't it say that. I thought they were printed somewhere in upstate NY.

I am not a Canadian prophet. We do have one on the board though. Dave Hornish and Bob Lemke have doubts. I really do not care that much. Will try to add prior threads

but the 1854 can be found in wrappers that indicate Canada on them. i posted a link to a pack in the thread about the 1954 robinson from Goodwin. I now peope who opened 1954 canada packs and got the gray back canadian cards. lead me to believe the 1952 may also have been from Canada despite the misgivings of some.

It is a neat hobby mystery.

until some are found in a pack, it will remain hobby lore!


I've seen big lots of cards supposedly all from wax packs with some gray backs.


Some believe they were inserted into Doeskin tissues like the rails and sails gray backs.


What I'd give for an unopened Doeskin tissues with a gray back showing!

....especially a Reiser

I have a good friend with multiple gray back reisers. I do not think he is looking to sell any. He has an incredibly large gray back collection.
