I have the version on regular stock. If they did also come on the white stock, would that be the rarer version? If anyone could provide an image of the white stock version, particularly the reverse, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, I'm guessing Topps realized at some point the regular gray card stock wasn't feasible for folding and sending off in the mail and switched to the much thinner white stock toward the end of the print run. The 75 gray back team mail in cards are much more common than the 75 white back mail in cards. I have a complete uncut 1975 gray back team sheet and a hand cut white back 75 Cubs team card. Here is a scan of a white back 75 Giants team card.
