I have nothing to confirm this one way or another, but I have heard over the years that #1 - #100 white & gray backs are about equally distributed and #101- #180, about 90% are gray backs and 10% white backs. |

Here's a link to PSA's population report for the 1956 Topps baseball cards. The white backs outnumber the gray backs from 1-100 by a better than two-to-one margin. From 101-180, the white backs appear to be quite scarce compared to the gray backs.
Only one dated team card shows a gray back. The Cleveland Indians show a single example, graded a 4. https://www.psacard.com/pop/baseball...56/topps/49737 |

Here's a copy in a Beckett slab.
![]() 1956 Topps - [Base] #85.3 - Cleveland Indians Team (White Back, Team Name and Year) [BVG 6.5 EX‑MT+] Courtesy of COMC.com COMC's had at least 6 of them over the years. So while rarer, the population report of graded cards may not be the best judge. Not everyone who collects the 1956 set cares that much about the white/gray stock variations.

That’s a white back, not the card he was talking about.
The 1955 date with a gray back does not exist, PSA just misgraded one. There are 5 variations per team, not 6. Grey back, name at left is the toughest of the 5. |

Not sure why you posted an image of a dated Indians card with a white back. As far as I was aware of, until yesterday, white backs were the only ones in existence.
While perusing the PSA website yesterday, I discovered the possibility of a single example with a gray back. If it does indeed exist, in may well be the only example in existence. If a gray back example does exist, it was probably cut from a test sheet that was run with gray back stock, which would also suggest that at least one example of gray back, dated team cards exist for all five teams that had cards printed in the first series run of cards #1 through #100. I would appreciate any information on the existence of dated team cards with gray backs, since I have been unable to locate any information about them other than the indication of the one Indians team card on the PSA website. |
