VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING AND RARE LARGE COLLECTION OF TRIAL COLOR PROOFS FOR THE ONE-CENT 1886 POSTAL CARD ISSUE.

It is probable that only one example of each combination of card and ink colors was produced. The total number of combinations in existence is not known precisely and there exist many outside of this group. Coincidentally however, George L. Toppan reported 238 different varieties, matching the number of cards in this collection. UPSS value at $300.00 each (Image)
