			Yes, it went cheap because I didn't want to bid it up against the high bidder.  Just 1 of 11 graded, pretty tough

			Gray backs were a short run or rare cards that started at card 131 and ran to card 190. From the reading I have recently done, the front of the card will look "cream" colored as well. The one you posted went cheap imo, as they usually sell for a lot higher. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=128228 http://1952toppsbaseballcards.com/Series&PrintsPage.htm

|  131-190 
			
			In a recent auction a near set of the "Canadian" gray backs ( minus one) sold for $10,000. Individually they have been selling for as much or more than similar condition high number cards in the set. The same phenomena exists in the gray back cards cards 1-50 in the 54 set
