Keith o mentions this very card in a proof article he wrote...

there a few "type 1's" that we now know were "not part of the final design of the card" and were essentially re designed before the final printing....

"type 1 proofs" as dubbed by the t206 resource . com....



alperman, pastorius, McIntyre, Matty, Shulte (front view), nicholls....were all pre final design cards......

these certain proofs within the proofs are very special.........either the board or the final artist re designed them for some reason before the final approved design for final production was approved....they are one of a kind pieces of history....

thanks to adam g, hank l, chris b, Erick s, jantz m, bryan l,jamie b, jim r, mike s, wonka, and so many others im so sorry I haven't mentioned, helping getting this card for me

Holy smokes, Johnny!

Based on his T206 proofs article from way back, I assumed the Alperman no stripes on cap proof was firmly in the grip of KO. Simply awesome -- for me on par with the Matty proof. You da man!

gotta say YOU ARE THE MAN! your ground breaking research and love of these cards are part of the inspiration of me collecting these gems

coming from someone like you it means a lot to me

thank you my friend.....

and again very special thanks to hank and adam (and everyone else, chris b, Erick, ect)......they truly make me love collecting these! and this card possible....

check out whitey's cap

I love how the "B" in the cap is different.....

this one escaped keith o

we definitely have similar taste in these


these "type 1 " design change proofs are INSANE!!

Great Uzit! How long have you had it in your collection?

Thanks, I guess I've had it about a year now.

Tough to choose, but my current favorites are probably these four. The reasons for Davidson and Matty are obvious. For Lake and Davis, I love the extra dark backgrounds.
