This card was originally printed in 1946 as part of a booklet for the 54th convention of the International Plate Printers, Die Stampers & Engravers Union. It was "reissued by popular request" in 1954 in two different color combinations, a fact that is not noted in the Scott catalogue; clockwise from the upper left: violet, green, greenish black & deep red (the same as the 1946 version—and these proofs—which bore a different imprint), and carmine, blue, dark green & brown-orange. These proof could, in fact, have been made in 1946. Suggested Bid $750-1,000 (Image)
