Completing the 1st series cards with Gray backs took me a long time. Bobby Doerr (#23) was the last one I needed.
Which reminds me....regarding the Gray backs, the first 36 cards [#1 - 3, 73, 5 - 36] were considerably more difficult to find with Gray
backs than cards #37 - 72.
Was this pattern the same for your ?

When I initially collected the set, of the 28 grey backs I have, 16 were from the first 36 cards and 12 were from the second 36 cards so it doesn't seem like it so far. We'l see how it goes now that I am trying to find the specific back colors. Also, the Bobby Doerr card I originally had was a grey back.
My set is generally VG to VG/EX so that could have something to do with it as well.
Would you say the grey backs tend to have a premium since they appear to be more scarce?
