In some set series, the white backs can be the scarcer variety, but only in 52 and 54 is the disparity between the different stocks so great. Almost any Topps resource site for sets like 52, 54, 56, 59 will give a description of the back differences in the set. Get a used SCD Standard Catalog

Thanks, ALR.
From the reading I've done regarding Gray backs, they also state the front of the card is also different.
Like this one, sort of a washed/faded/cream color to it. When I was just looking into Gray backs, I never realized the fronts are likely different as well.
