1954 Topps. Are any of these gray backs? (picture heavy)
Hey everyone. New member here with a questions regarding my recent pickup about 3 weeks ago. I picked up 36 cards, which mainly are 1954 Topps and a few 1959 tops. 26 of them are under #50 and me being in Canada, I figure that I may have had a better chance in picking up the elusive gray back versions of the 1954 Topps set. I have seen some examples of gray backs that actually have a whitish/cream tinge to them and not a distinct colour of gray, which is why I am posting these for some experts to take a look at.
The picture uploads are just of the backs since that is the main variation of these cards. I can upload the front, if needed. Please mind the cards with Crayon on the backside haha, regardless if they are or aren't gray backs, they are officially orange and purple, but I figure I'd upload them anyways.
All look like normal white backs to me. Anyone ever seen evidence the gray backs are a Canadian parallel issue? This is stated frequently, but I’ve never seen the proof, if it exists, of this claim.

Me neither, same with the 52's. Do the 54's have gum or wax stains? 52's do not IIRC, which means either vending or cello distribution. There is a good thread on here about the 52's.
The only reason why I still question whether these sre possibly gray backs is that there are a few Sold examples from eBay that are PSA graded, labeled as graybacks and do have a more whitish tone as do mine.
Crappy pictures, but here are a few examples.
Maybe I am just wanting to see something, that just isnt there. Mind you, who wouldnt want to find a whole stack of gray backs, am I right? Haha.
