There are several threads in here on the grey back "Canadian" scarcity and associated pricing. Any price guide will note the Sain and Page variations

The other two cards you reference via ebay are grey backs and the market bears out what they will sell for. I believe it's hard to put a definite price on those cards especially in an auction format.

Thanks guys. Surprised there are no scans/pics of the backs? (unless I'm blind)

RM, already looked at mine, and as far as I can tell, I don't have any of these types of cards, sadly?

Yes that is amazing how a seller can post a gray back and not show scans.

Is there any positive proof that these cards were printed in Canada? If they were, why doesn't it say that. I thought they were printed somewhere in upstate NY.

I am not a Canadian prophet. We do have one on the board though. Dave Hornish and Bob Lemke have doubts. I really do not care that much. Will try to add prior threads

but the 1854 can be found in wrappers that indicate Canada on them. i posted a link to a pack in the thread about the 1954 robinson from Goodwin. I now peope who opened 1954 canada packs and got the gray back canadian cards. lead me to believe the 1952 may also have been from Canada despite the misgivings of some.

It is a neat hobby mystery.

until some are found in a pack, it will remain hobby lore!


I've seen big lots of cards supposedly all from wax packs with some gray backs.


Some believe they were inserted into Doeskin tissues like the rails and sails gray backs.


What I'd give for an unopened Doeskin tissues with a gray back showing!
