Jackie Robinson 1956 PSA 9 - Grey back

[Snapolit1]

I'm selling this card I bought last year only because my collecting interests have veered into other directions. It's a great card and seemingly a lock to increase in value. It's the rare grey back although PSA has it registered as white. See explanation in ebay listing. If anyone is interesting in trading for it or comparable value let me know. I'm mostly interested in pre-1940 at this point. Especially Gehrig.

Beautiful card, Steve. It has been a long time since I collected the set. As I recall 1-180 can be found in white or gray back. At the time I was putting the set together white backs above 100 were pretty scarce and commanded a premium. Below 100 the whites were slightly more plentiful than the grays but the premium for gray backs in general was not significant. but then I was not collecting 9s

Thanks. Looks like it goes back in the vault. Really didn't want to sell it, but keep seeing these nice Ruth, Gehrig cards I want . . . . I guess you can't have everything. Got to get PSA to fix their reg error.

i think gray backs command a premium on the big name cards...
