This is so niche, I hope this post is okay here vs on the bst. Feel free to delete if not.

Pretty sure I have two Gray Back 54's...in hand they are strikingly different. Good news is both cards are in EX tight condition...Monte Irvin and Billy Martin. Here is my Monte...thoughts?

'54 Topps gray backs are similar to the 3rd series '52 Topps gray backs where it appears that more than 2 types of gray backed cardstock was used.

Thanks Larry...pretty shocked to see these in my set. I've owned them for years and had no clue.

If there are anyone out there needing these two they certainly would be available, normal white backs are ok for my set. I can make scans available. Just might have to send in for grading...

Hello, I would be interested in the Monte Irvin, if available!
