Yes. It is a progressive color proof. Missing at least two colors. I was able to pick a full set of them several years back. Another poster here has a more complete set of the 72 proofs

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Default Did someone say 1972 Candy lid proofs?
As has already been mentioned - the 1972 finished lids are incredibly tough to find. Proofs for either set are also seldom seen (and sometimes contain marks from the printer reflecting changes to be made). The ones in the attached pic are available - PM me if you would like to discuss.

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.

Very cool stuff being posted. The OP Mays of course is a ‘73 with the color on the front and the red stars in the back. The ‘72 examples have the green stars on the back.
