Show us your 1960 Topps WHITE (not cream) backs

[savedfrommyspokes]

I have one (now, once had 2) 410 Sam Jones. I have mentioned these white, non-cream backs to other collectors and they have no idea what I am speaking of. Likely because they are pretty rare. Having gone through 1,000s and 1,000s of cards from this series for my own collection plus 1,000s and 1,000s more at shows and shops, I have seen just two.

My only question is what back's are tougher to find, the 52 GBs or these?

I've been looking for the four Orioles (395 Wilhelm, 399 Young Hill Stars, 406 Klaus and 422 Powers) to complete my team set for years with no luck at all. You are right most collectors don't realize there are white and cream backs.

I had similar experience while putting together a 1960 set and then continually upgrading it. Knew about but never found any white backs... at all. I simultaneously collected 52Ts and over the course of the years accumulated 7 or 8 gray backs that were not identified as such by the various sellers; and lots more that were identified as and sold as gray backs. So, my experience suggests that these white backs are significantly scarcer.

I've seen exactly one 1960 white back in person and believe they are significantly rarer than the 1952 grays.

Inbound….unfortunately it’s miscut.

Edit……not a WB….

If your doing research about the 1960 Topps Backs here is what I have when I checked my inventory : I have a total of 83 cards from this series.
I'm not sure if any of the Cream backs are white or not, I think all "cream " ??? not sure. See a couple attached scans. Are both "cream" , Maas is darker ???

Gray Back : 68 ( 82% )
Cream Back : 15 ( 18 % )
White Back : 0 ( ? ) 0%

Mike:

Both of yours are cream. You can see the difference in my original post with all three backs shown.

I looked through my set and there were no white backs.

And looked through a hundred or so extras, no white backs.
