1956 redlegs team card back variation
 
I have been collecting Cincinnati Reds / Redlegs cards for a number of years now and have a question about the 1956 Team Cards. The standard card catalog says that there are white and gray variations for card #90A, B and C Cincinnati Redlegs Team. I have never seen a #90 Dated with a gray back. Does this variation actually exsist? I have the centered and name left in both backs but can only find the dated version in a white back. Thanks for any help with this.

I've only seen it with a white back and I don't have access to the PSA pop reports, but of the 3 that SGC has graded, it shows a SGC 50 and 80 with a white back designation, but there's a SGC 60 that doesn't mention a back color so it might mean there's at least one out there? :confused:

There are a total of 5 variations for not just the Reds card, but also #11 Cubs, #72 Phillies, #85 Indians, #95 Braves and #100 Orioles.

For these cards the variations are :
Team name left (white and grey backs)
Team name center (white and grey backs)
Dated (white back only)

1956 Redlegs Team Card back variation
 
Thank you guys for the quick replys! Doug, thank you very much for the clarification. I can now mark the 56' team set complete and now return to the daunting task of finding the pesky 54' Topps Redlegs "Gray backs" variations.
