1975 Hostess Printers Proof

Boccabella · #1 02-16-2018, 04:12 PM

There was a thread awhile back about Topps providing the photos for Hostess' cards: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=224628&page=2

Wondering if maybe there was an exclusivity or licensing issue with young George? Terrific item either way.

I would have to go digging to get a better photo, but picked up a few of those years back on the bay.

Curt,
I love your Garvey collection! I would kill for an opportunity to dig through your binders, 70's and 80's player collection at it's very finest!

Why would someone print over a proof? That's seems very weird.

Well, since it was just an early-stage proof (read garbage), it's easy to see how they didn't want to waste paper while putting other things together, so they would just print over the scrap on hand. It couple be as simple as that.

Yep, they always use a few sheets to get the press setup, and they're almost always scrap from another job. After the first 2-3, you need maybe 5-10 to really get the registration right. A place printing fish cake boxes might not care as much. amd if the proofs had enough sheet margin they might not have needed anything else. (and it could be the proofs on top of the fish box)

Thank you sir. It would be fun to have someone look through it besides me that would enjoy and appreciate it. I am the same way when I see other player collectors show off stuff. I love to see large groupings put together by passionate collectors.

I found these images on an auction site. The auction description mentions there's about a dozen players on the sheets who never appeared in the set ...
