 #17 - Cacomixle |
Printer's proof (?) | Jerry
Anderson has acquired one of these cards which
has a blank back and is missing
the copyright line normally found in the
top margin. The border area is a much different
color than a normal card (see detail scans,
below) and at least a couple of the edges appear
to have been cut by hand. In fact, the bottom
margin has an extra 3/16" of space below the
name lines. Otherwise, the color and size of the
image area are consistent with a normal card.
This copy also seems to have been printed on a
much lighter than usual paper stock. I would have
to guess that this might very well be a printer's
proof of some sort.

Printer's proof | Here's
a marvelous printer's proof sheet for one of the
