Bobby,
As mentioned elsewhere, the only thing that distinguishes one issue from the other is the color of the reverse side, not the text. What might be problematic, however, is that the card in the auction does not appear to be a gray back. Either that or it's a really bad scan.
If the label is indeed correct, that's one heck of a rare card.
Update: I have been told that the Jackie Robinson comes from a reputable source and is indeed a 1954 Canadian Topps gray back. I'm not sure why I was contacted by an intermediary, however. The owner of the card should just supply an alternate scan/image to the auction house.
