    Cards 199 through 286 can be found with either grey or white stock. Cards 1 to 506 have red and green printing on the back with the card # in white in a green box. Cards 507 to 572 have black and red printing on back and card # is in black box

    Thanks bishop. I should also have asked this: Of the cards that come in either gray or white (199-286), which one is more rare?

    In my experience, grey is less common, but not rare

    Out of curiosity, I went through my raw set which was put together randonly and cards #199- 286 are basically split 50/50 gray/white.
