The Gray-Backed 1952 Topps cards, sometimes referred to as Canadian in origin (which they are not) all fall in the third series (#131-190) and persist as a tough subset to collect. This PSA 3 (MC) of Ted Beard sports a miscut front and back;  Grays are not often found in nice shape. The reverse is looking better than the front while the color of the image, as is often the case with these, is muted but looks fairly sharp.
