Ironheart, the last card you showed is Pete Runnels. I have both versions of the Runnels card. Here they are, next to one another, which will help you tell the difference:

I'm a graded '54 set collector but I always go back and look through the hundreds or thousands of raw '54's at every show I attend looking for gray backs. Sorry to say you don't have any there. When you see one, you'll know it as they stand out easily. Also, as others mentioned, I have seen non gray backs in PSA holders noted as such. Have to know what your looking for and knowledge is key, never trust a label.
Not surprised to see other collectors have one or two hanging around but they are extremely tough. I have found only one, #8 Bobby Young that I gladly paid $7 for at a small show outside of Cincinnati. It's in great shape other than a couple surface line impressions on the background. I'd guess it'd get a 4 or 4.5 from PSA for that reason otherwise, it's a 6 to 6.5 based on corners, centering, and print quality. |
