Matching set of six 1952 Topps color-process proofs for card #24 Luke Easter (Cleveland Indians). Each of these six cards is unique. These are the very first 1952 Topps #24 Luke Easter cards ever printed. Each of these color process-proof cards represents a step toward the printing of the first final process sheet with all colors. These first-ever printed 1952 Topps proof examples of the #24 Luke Easter card include the following color processes (missing only the final process, which could easily be represented by an issued card): 1) Red, yellow, and blue printing. 2) Yellow and red printing. 3) Yellow printing. 4) Red printing. 5) Blue printing. 6) Black printing. Each color-process proof card presents as MINT condition and is encapsulated as "Authentic" by SGC due to its hand-cut nature. Total: 6 proof cards. Reserve $300. Estimate (open).
