PLEASE READ DETAILED DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING!!! PROOF CARD HAS A BLANK BACK.
This proof is missing the autograph and serial # on the card front. It is about 1/4" taller and wider than a regular card. But still fits into a standard toploader. Would be great for in person autographs, for those athletes who are still alive, of course. It is printed on regular card stock and blank on the back. I have the base proof versions which I believe were serial #'d out of 35 for the pack-released versions of the cards with the actual sticker autos on them, and also have some of the yellow proofs where the regular versions are serially #'d out of 5, with only 5 copies in existence.
For the most part, these are in near mint condition, but I a few do have some surface scratches.
Some basic facts about the proof cards I sell are as follows:
1) Unless otherwise stated, the backs are complete.
2) For most of them, the fronts are complete, although some foil may be missing. Please see pics for further details.
3) If any corresponding finished versions of the cards contain autographs, game-used items, or serial numbering, the proofs DO NOT have any of these attributes, as they are indeed just proofs and not the finished product.
4) If it's a single card, it is typically 1/8" to 1/4" taller and wider than a standard card in order to differentiate it from a pack-inserted version. But not always.
5) If it's a 2-card uncut panel, then it's obvious that it wasn't pack inserted, but even these are typically individually larger than a standard card.
6) Some of the proofs have extra "dead stock" (that was removed for the final version of the card), color bars, etc.
7) Proof cards were not meant to be released onto the secondary market. As such, they aren't always in mint condition. Some may have surface scratches, but other than that, they are usually nm.
