I'm curious as to why the white backs are listed as a parallel set as opposed to variations? I appreciate any insight. ------------------------------- - Nick Pain

From what I've seen white backs and grey backs were not found together in packs. Thus, maybe they're treated as "separate" releases. Kind of like Panini hobby vs retail versions of cards. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

That helps, thanks. I couldn't find anything definitive online, other than the suspicion that Topps just changed the card stock they were using midway through production. Interesting. ------------------------------- - Nick Pain
