    easiest way to find out is to reference the weighting in the master sets.
    Dated variations cost me the most, but name left were the toughest to find. But once I finished the set I stopped looking, so that might have been an abberation.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    You have the three major variations identified - Dated, No Date - Name Left and No Date - Name Centered.
    The Dated variety is significantly more scarce, commanding a little more than 2x the BV than non-dated varieties. (Beckett)

    In addition, as with all 1956 cards numbered 1 - 180, each is available in a white back or gray back version.
    In numbers 1 - 100, Beckett says the gray backs are 10% more scarce.
    In numbers 101 - 180, Beckett says the white backs are 30% more scarce.

    Best wishes - Jack
