Card stock variations are not uncommon and in some cases recognized by industry publications and card grading companies.

Whether officially recognized or not, share your findings here...

I'll kick off the thread with examples from 1959 Topps set, gray and white back.

Like several here I like to collect variants to go with my sets. I have not been very systematic in pursuing back stock differences. I did the 52 red and black backs ( may not qualify here ), but only 12 of the "Canadian" backs, and only a couple of the 54 Canadian grays. I am currently pursuing both the white and black back bios from 53 ( may not qualify) , and have finished both gray and white backs from 59 and 60. Also did gray and white for the 74 Deckles. Have not worked up the courage to pursue whites and grays for my 56 set. The 68 Milton Bradley may be another

Would love to see a pic of some of the "Canadian" backs. Weren't they presumed to have been printed at the OPC facility?

Here is a sample of the 1960 topps stock variations.

This thread has examples of the 52 "Canadians", although their origin is not settled
