The narratives about them are mostly false; we know the sheet compositions, the cards with less sheet positions are proportionally tougher, but they are all in line with the print groups. There aren’t these special SP’s and many levels of toughness in the white backs as many buyers seem to think.

^^^ This...Trucks is on my Master Tigers Topps wantlist...grabbed a nice one at the National last year for $5....havent seen a decent one...let alone any shape one go for uner $100+++ in a few years.

Yet...1968 has clear white and beige? backs...but this is never spoken of??

66, 68, 69, 70, and others all have different stocks used for some of their series’. People don’t seem to care at all if it’s cream vs. white stock. I collect them, it’s fun to put some of the tougher back sets together when they cost the same as the easier back.

My 56 White Back want list is the usual suspects, a Trucks just isn’t worth the price to me, and isn’t that rare.

All PSA 4. No luck finding an upgrade w/o taking out a second on the house. They doubtless are out there, in limited quantities, but not cheap.

There are 6 Trucks white backs on eBay right now. It is not a rare card; my tune was factually correct. I don’t follow the registry competition.
