At least that’s a rough estimate.

Well that explains why dealers are so touchy about the "grey" backs they have for sale.

Being a Pete Runnels collector because he was my favorite Washington Senator when I was a kid, I'm fortunate to have an example of his 1954 Topps card with the gray back. Here's a scan of the back of it along side an example of the common white back for comparison.

Thanks. That gives me an excellent idea of what to look for.
